Sadly this usually occurs from a couple things:
1. Cheaper bras. I used to buy only $10 bras thinking it was a bargain. It's not. They are like light bulbs- designed to burn out. Buy a $35 bra and the construction should last for a few years.
2. Improper fit. If your bra leaves you with red marks or an imprint after you take it off, you are wearing the wrong size. Like any garment the wrong size means extra wear and tear. Wearing a too small size might make you feel voluptuous, but it won't look classy under your clothes, and it is uncomfortable.
If you get a "roll" above or below your band on your sides, or you spill out of the top or side of the cup you are just plain wearing the wrong size. A lot of department stores have "fittings" now. Your size is based on a rib cage/"band" measurement (the number part) combined with your cup size, compared to the fullest point around your chest (the cup/ aka the "letter")
A lot of women just buy the same size they wore last year, even though they may change clothes sizes, weird huh? After having children your rib cage spreads, you may not need a larger cup, but you may need a larger band. Most stores stop at 42, so if you need a 44B etc. Try Lane Bryant and get you bra to stop digging you. They are much more fashionable than they were 10 years ago.
3. Improper care. I generally use dye/perfume free on all my laundry because I get itchy. Anyhow, at least for your skivvies and bras get some "Tide Free", or "All Free and Clear". Plus some of those mesh laundry bags that Grandma washes her panty hose in.
Always put your bra in a bag if you machine wash (on gentle). Close all the hooks before they go in. Don't toss them in with a bunch of rough laundry like jeans (i.e. zippers & hardware). A couple of tee-shirts are ok though. Then hang dry.
When you put bras in the dryer it hurts the fibers two ways, the heat tightens the fibers , like a steak that is overcooked, then the extra friction of tumbling for an hour...It's basically like wringing it in your hands for an hour. They get brittle and break.
See if those things help a little.

Actually, I have found that if you wear bras strapless (if you can. I can because I just have a C cup lol) it helps the bra last longer.
Also, putting fabric glue where teh bra wire may come out helps to make it last longer too.
And when you wash your bras, only place ones without underwire in the dryer. With the heat it causes the metal to burn through the fabric and makes the bra fall apart easier.

They are continuously inventing new ways.
I saw one recently which uses the energy from your melons bobbing up and down to generate electricity to power your iPod or phone or what-have-you.
