THERE'S ALWAYS A FIRST TIME!
You are probably beginning to hit puberty or close enough and may have a zillion questions about changing body, breast growth, first bra and how to deal with all of it. Welcome, it may seem annoying and confusing, but worth it!
HELLO GIRL!
As a teen, the first bra is so much more than just another item in the closet. To think, its perhaps the first time you make a big choice for yourself, we encourage you pick your first bra! It is tough to predict when and how much your breast will grow, but it usually begins between ages 8 – 13.
GROWTH SCIENCE
-
The chest is flat with a raised nipple
-
The breast bud, appearing like a lump begins to develop under the nipple along with the areola (dark area around nipple)
-
Breast buds begin to elevate and the areola widens.
-
Increased breast size and elevation of the areola, along with nipple projecting.
-
Breast reaches the final adult size and areola returns to the center of the breast with projecting nipple.
VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE
It is true – we all come in different shapes, sizes and develop at different pace and time. Remember – that unique quotient is not limited just to face but goes all the way to every part of your body – including the boobies and vaginas. It is unlikely for your breast to be the same size or shape as your friends, or even yur mom/sister.
MISSING : FIRST BRA
The first bra is commonly called a beginner or trainer bra – true to its title. The purpose literally being to start training you to wear a bra or begin this journey. Let’s Begin Crop Bralette is an ideal start!
CONFLICT WITH MOM
As you grow, you will know that Mom’s can be astonishingly right about a lot of things. But, when it comes to choosing to start wearing a bra – you know best! You know your body, you know the changes and more than any, you know how you feel about it. Period.
-
-
The under-band must fit perfectly around the ribcage, giving a fitted feel but not very tight.
-
The body (cup portion) of the bralette should not appear creased or feel baggy; otherwise you need to try a size smaller.
-
Wear natural, breathable fibers to feel comfortable and get used to the idea of a bralette.
-
Avoid any padding or under-wires as your breast do not need the support or cushioning at this stage. Let them take their natural shape.
-
Depending on your growth you can choose a fully flat style bralette – Let’s Begin Crop Bralette or our specially curated style for developing girls – Simply Essentials Lace Panel Bralette.
-
Feel free to choose what suits your body and personal style the best. Don’t be worried about what most of your girlfriends are wearing. You set your own trend!
