Training bra provides good support and adequate coverage for young girls. It serves as a comfortable introduction to wearing bras, and helping young girls transition into more structured bras in the future.
When should a girl start to wear bra?
The time a girl should start to wear bra depending on her physical development and personal comfort. Typically, girls begin to wear bras between 8 to 12 years old, when they start to develop breasts.
Tips for buying training bra
- Measured: Use a tape measurer around the rib cage, just under their chest. Many girl’s bra styles don’t have cup sizes, because young girls aren’t fully developed yet.
- Padding. For young girls who is just developing chest, they don’t need padding. You want your daughter to be comfortable and confident in the first training bra.
- Styles: Buy different options as she may need different style of training bra depending on the activity (eg. sports).
With so many choices, sizes, colors, fabrics, styles, the task seems daunting. However, bra shopping for your teenage girl is also about celebrating growth, fostering self-confidence, and embracing the changes that come with becoming a teen.
