Please explain your choices. Maybe discuss how many bras you have/how often you wear them.

I feel like the poll should be fayer how many uses do you wash? Gives more clarity

In the summer I wash each after every wear; they get soaked with sweat

Same. In cooler weather, unless doing exercise, they can go a few days before a wash.

After Two days wear, and I wear only when going out or having company. Washed in bag and hung.
I have about 10 in a variety of colors so I wash whenever. I have so many bc my size has been the same for years, when I buy I don’t necessarily throw out the old.

When I shower. so in the winter that’s every other day. Spring and fall daily. Summer whenever I can find a minute that no one is attached to me.

Cooler weather, after 2 wears.

I have 3 bras and I usually have a schedule. I wear one Friday after my shower through Sunday, then it goes in the laundry. The next is Monday and Tuesday and then wash. Then Wednesday until my shower on Friday. I spend most of my my time indoors at comfortable temperatures and don't sweat much unless I do a family outing on Sundays or a cooking marathon on Fridays. If I end up getting extraordinarily sweaty or dirty for some reason, then of course I change my bra sooner.

After 3 wears unless it's very hot and I get sweaty in which case I'll wash it sooner.

There need to be options between every day and every week.

I only have one. They're expensive.

I wash it, by hand, when it's going to have time to dry before I need to leave the house.

In the summer it's fairly easy, because it will dry overnight. The winter is a lot harder.

I wear bras on average once a week. Small chested woman here. If I sweat while wearing it I wash it. If I smell a bra and it smells I wash it. I used to wear them all the time when pregnant or nursing. Then it was once a week. My 11 year old washes all of her bras once a week. She wears them each twice. But she is very concerned about smelling.

I have 5 and rotate them and once I've worn each 2-3 times I wash them all on a very delicate wash and hang to dry overnight.
EDIT: I only wear one when going out or having company

Nope me too.
I recently tried to wash weekly but not the best at it.
If I go to the gym I do wash straight away even if it's after a couple of days

I wash sports bras right away which is what I work out in. Regular bras I don't find I need to wash so often...

I have about 20 bras. Many are cheap ones and some are years old. I wash them after every 1 day of wearing. I mean, sorry to be tmi, but they run next to my armpits and of course get sweaty, even in winter. Yes, I do shower every day and do use deodorant, minus Shabbat and YT.
How to people get along with only 3 or 4 bras? I couldn't, smell-wise. Scratching Head

I switch every other day. As soon as I have a load I put them into a mesh bag and into the load. So
change every other day
Wash about once a week
Hang them to dry.
In the summer I change every day.
