Are you a statistic?!
Recently Miss FQ went along to the Rose & Thorne showroom, a New Zealand-based lingerie company who offer affordable and properly fitting bras – how rare is that, right?! While we tried on some cute, comfortable and sexy sets, the team shared the results of their ‘2016 Bra Census’ with us.
Some stats were unsurprising, others insightful and one was downright shocking…
8% of women wear their bra *seven* times before washing!
Eww, you guys! We’re all for doing less washing but that’s just gross!
Check out the rest of the stats from Rose & Thorne’s interesting survey:
