It also depends on you as an individual,I had an uplift so I do want to keep them uplifted for as long as possible,but an uplift is only as good as the bra thats supporting it,especially when you get to my age,skin becomes thinner and gravity takes over as you get older,so for me its bra for life,lol,I do take it off to shower and bathe and the odd time I have been bra less in the summer,but mainly I wear mine all the time,its personal preference.xxx
