The Formative Years: Teenager's Bra The absolute best part of every teenage girl's day is getting dressed and feeling their absolute best! Yes, fashion and style play a big role in your wardrobe but what’s most important is having the perfect bra. It not only gives you comfort and confidence but also transforms your outfit with great silhouette. Feel free when you run around through school and college or hop into dance lessons followed by basketball sessions. A proper well-fitted bra makes a world of a difference. The journey of buying the perfect bra for teenagers can be confusing at first, but with this guide, you’ll sail through the entire journey with ease. Why do teenagers need a bra? Wearing a bra is essential as bras provide coverage, support and grip to the tender bust tissue and help with development and growth. To avoid sagging and displacement of bust tissue during puberty and formative years when the body is undergoing hormonal changes, it becomes critical to start wearing a bra. Plus, bras provide a snug fit under clothes and help you feel comfortable going about your day. What’s the ideal age to start wearing a bra? Breast development is unique to every girl. Measurable breast development can start in girls as young as 8 years old. It is also common for girls to develop later, and only need a bra at the age 14. Each girl’s experience will be different. Some start to develop a little early and some, a little later. Each journey is unique and beautiful in its own way. How do I find my size? At its core, your bra size is just short for the relationship between your rib cage measurement (the band) and your bust measurement (the cup).
