Growing up is never easy because the body must become
accustomed to many hormonal changes. In a girl, this includes
the development of her breasts. As a result, she must add a
new garment to her wardrobe - her first bra.
First bras or training bras are a pre-schooling experience for
young girls who have started to develop breasts but do not yet
fit into the standard bra sizes. Training bras are meant for
girls who have started to develop breasts. However, age is not
the most important factor. If the girl is young and her
breasts are fully developed, there is no point in introducing
her to a training bra. The standard size bra will suit her
best.
While choosing a training bra, keep in mind that buying bras
with underwires don’t make much sense for a young girl because
her breasts are not yet fully formed. She should be wearing a
light support bras at this stage as they are more practical
and are not uncomfortable to wear.
Sport bras can prove to be an ideal choice to serve as
training bras for young girls. This is because their
flexibility and support features can see a young girl through
her growing years, and she can focus without worry on
activities like athletics, running, jumping, hiking or skiing.
The delicate and growing tissues of the breasts need adequate
protection against the high impacts of physical activities and
the sport bra fits the bill perfectly.
It
is quite possible that you might not get the right bra size on
the very first attempt. The first time shopping experience in
this case becomes a bit time consuming, but you need to be
patient. Let your girl try on various sizes to get the perfect
fit. If necessary, take the advice of the sales assistant who
has been trained in the art of fitting brassieres. Make sure
that the hooks and straps don’t hurt and there is no
restriction in movement or discomfort in breathing.
