When you first start wearing a
bra; a simple training bra, or sports bra should do fine, most of
these come in sizes of small, medium, and large. As your breast

proper fitting bra is important during your teen years, when your
body is growing.

coverage, athletics, or just for fun?
What Kind of Bra to Buy?

developing breast, or who don't fit into standard-size cups.

are flat in the cup area. Sports bras are also used to support
large breasts while playing sports.

maintain the natural shape of a girl's breast.

Push-Up Bra- A bra specially designed to make your breast
appear larger, and fuller. (may lack proper
support)

which goes under the breasts and provides additional support.) (Underwire
is a great choice for a girl's breasts, if she is larger than a
c-cup.)
