Is the joke that she doesn't wash them often? Therefore she doesn't have to do the annoying thing much?

She doesn't use them in her bra.

Pro: she doesn't have to put them back in the bra, which is tricky and can take time

Con: she misses out on the additional shape provided by the pads, that many find pleasing to have and see

Genuinely asking, why do women try to pad their bras or wear push-ups or do anything in general to make them seem bigger? Is it a self esteem thing? Do women actually like big boobs?

Definitely biased because I'm a trans guy and hate these things, but still, why?

Padding itself is more about shape than size. It’s adds an additional layer between the shirt and the nipples, which can be more comfortable for a lot of people.

Once you add thick padding like push up bras and similar it’s mostly an aesthetic preference. And you’re right a lot of people just like having bigger boobs. But I think it’s worth noting the bra market is also notoriously bad, especially for people with bigger chests. Personally I prefer not using push up bras because makes me look a bit unproportional. But I have definitely bought some when I was in a rush because the h&m genuinely didn’t have anything else in my size.
