Everyone grows at different rates and develops in their own unique way, so knowing when to buy the first bra for your daughter can be difficult. Some girls may need support from the age of eight, while others may not need to buy a bra until their late teens. There can be a lot of emotions associated with having (or not having) bras when their girlfriends are already wearing them, so the first thing to do is keep your ears open for any reports from her.
When young girls go through puberty, their entire breast area becomes very sensitive, so they may also feel some discomfort in the breasts or become secretive when they undress in front of you. They may not always want to bring it up directly to you parents so broach the subject gently and let them lead the way – it’s a big milestone after all!
How to measure the first bra
The best way to make sure they are wearing the right size bra is to book their first bra fitting at a lingerie store. Experts are on hand to make the experience a positive one, removing any awkwardness from the big moment and ensuring that everyone leaves the store feeling good. For a girl who is particularly shy or uncomfortable, she can take the measurement herself, following the handy bra sizing calculator.
Which “first” bra should I buy?
The range of raw bras is designed to prevent any damage to growing tissues, with fabrics that young girls feel extremely soft against the skin. Having the right bra for every occasion will help them feel confident and supported. For school, the beige-toned bras are less visible under white shirts or T-shirts, while for weekends or holidays, let them experiment with sports tops or fun prints and patterns.
Get to know the different types of bras.
It can be difficult to decide which bra is best for your daughter. I highly recommend that you ask her what she would like to wear. Very often what she wants to wear is not the right bra for her age at that moment, so kindly suggest some other options that will cover, support or be better for her.
There are four different types of bras suggested to young girls, depending on how developed they are.
Busted:These bras are ideal for a girl in the early stages of her development. These bras will help her get used to wearing something around her breasts. They don’t cover very well, but they are comfortable. These bras are lightweight and do not provide much support. They haveremovable cups,adjustable straps,no seams at the contact points thanks to innovative heat bonding technology, they are invisibleunder clothing andperfect for both light exercise and comfort throughout the day.
Αa fabulous bra: Sports bras are bras that are worn when your daughter is going to be active and needs more compression on her breasts. These bras will give more support depending on how tightly they fit.
Bralette: A bralette is more like a bra. It has molded cups, but the big difference is that these are not as supportive as bras, and are always without underwire. However, they do give more coverage and shape compared to bras.
Bra without underwire: There are two types of bras: with or without underwire. These come in small sizes such as 70B. Underwired bras are fine, but if your breasts are larger than a C, it’s a good idea to consider one with an underwire.. If you want to buy your daughter an underwired bra, make sure you know how to fit them properly or visit a store or why not, call us on tel: +30 210 28 50 790 to be guided by our experienced team. Remember that a bra with an incorrect fit can be extremely uncomfortable.
Some factors to consider:
- Physical development: If she’s starting to develop breasts or feels uncomfortable without a bra, it may be time to buy one.
- Comfort: discuss with her her feelings about wearing a bra. If she expresses interest or need, it is the right time to move forward.
- Activity level: If you participate in sports or physical activities, a supportive sports bra may be appropriate.
- Education: use this opportunity to educate her about the body changes and the purpose of the bra, making it a positive experience.
