Does She Have Breast Buds?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u200bBreast buds<\/a> are the first signs of developing breasts. If your daughter has small bumps on her chest, or her nipples are starting to protrude, it might be time to consider her first bra. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Does She Have Other Signs of Puberty?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Developing breasts, pubic hair, gaining weight, and the onset of periods are other early signs of puberty<\/a> in girls. This can be a good time for her to start wearing her first bra!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u200bWhat if She Asks to Wear Bras?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although you may not notice any of the puberty signs, it’s not a bad thing<\/a> to let your daughter buy a \u200b\u200bgreat small-breasted push-up bra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since she can struggle with body image, your daughter might need one even if her boobs are not yet fully developed, especially if other young girls are wearing one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bWhat if She\u2019s Embarrassed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Young ladies are usually embarrassed when wearing a highly rated push up model with underwire. \u200bIf you feel your daughter may be embarrassed, proceed with delicacy.<\/strong> Address the conversation in private. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a myth<\/a> that she\u2019ll end up with saggy breasts if she doesn\u2019t want to wear a training bra when her breasts start to develop. Give her some time and try the discussion later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bWhen Should I Take Her Bra Shopping?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u200bIf your daughter is comfortable with her first bra shopping, take her to the clothing store. You can take her shipping on a girls’ day, during your back-to-school shopping spree, or even do some professional fitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Bra shopping will also allow you to know if your daughter needs a regular model, a strapless one<\/a>, or even a bandeau<\/a>. You can also get a personal sizing done so your daughter feels more comfortable!<\/strong> You may even be surprised to find out you were wearing the wrong size!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for Buying A First Bra<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before introducing your girl to her first bra, consider the type of bras<\/a> she\u2019ll feel more comfortable wearing. Below are valuable tips to help you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comfort<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u200bPicking bras made of cotton can be a good option for a first bra<\/a>. It can help decrease irritation or discomfort that may come from forming breast buds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u200bInstead of assuming your daughter will need an A-cup<\/a>, pick one that fits right. Let her try a variety of models to know if they fit well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bPadding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some bras offer padding to boost boobs, while others hide nipple protrusion. You can decide on some thin padding if your daughter is self-conscious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose Different Styles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your daughter is involved in various activities, buy different training bra options<\/a> such as a sports bra, soft cup bra, and underwire bras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
