Wearing a bra for the first time according to the child's age stage

When girls start to show signs of puberty, parents are obliged to be aware of it first. Puberty experienced by girls includes menstruation and changes in body shape. Science says girls start puberty between the ages of 8 and 13. Now, at that age you have to teach your daughter to start wearing bras or minisets.

There are two reasons why you should teach your child to wear a bra. First, the buds of the nipples start to bulge, so your child is obliged to use a miniset or bra. Second, your child's friends are starting to wear bras, so your child will want to have them too. Both of these reasons are perfectly acceptable, even gradually you will introduce a bra to your daughter. Here are some steps to wear a bra that you should pay attention to.

The stages of wearing a bra according to age

1. Start using a miniset at puberty

The age of 8-12 years is a time when a woman's body experiences changes from within and without. Especially for the breasts, pay attention to the nipples that start sticking out through your child's clothes. If you see small breast buds starting to appear, you can provide a mini set for the child to adapt to wearing a bra later. By wearing a miniset, you indirectly start teaching children to wear a bra until they are mature.

Miniset is a bra without wire, without foam, with thick rubber on the circumference of the body for support. Mini set models vary depending on the needs of the breast. If the nipple appears first, you will need a miniset with a slightly thick coating. The miniset is used to cover up the nipple on the child's chest.

2. Cordless bras, ages 13 to 16 years

The models and functions of bras generally vary. When the age of puberty has passed, the nipples in children usually have fully come out. Her breasts will start to get a little heavier and fuller. Now, during this transitional period, your child is advised to start wearing a bra with a more elastic cup transition. At the bottom of the bra, it is better to use a bra with elastic wire (or maybe without wire, according to taste and function) to support the weight of the growing breasts.

As a child grows older and more mature, the bra that is used will also change in stages. Generally, the age after puberty uses a bra with foam or soft padding on the cup, pay attention to the bra strap used. Use a bra with straps that can be resized, because each person has a different body posture and height from chest to shoulder.

3. Age 16 years and over, start wearing a bra with a wire

At this age the breasts are fully formed, full and dense. Furthermore, it is mandatory for this age to not use a bra with soft wire anymore. Bra with soft wire cannot support the weight of the enlarged breasts, so use a bra with a harder wire and a thick enough foam cup. The function of the foam is not solely to increase the thickness of the breasts when viewed from the outside, but to prevent the nipples from rubbing against clothes, jackets or other objects used in the area around the breasts.
