What Bras Should 11 Year Olds Wear?

By: Lindsay Lam

So, your daughter is stepping into the world of tweenhood, and along with that comes a whole bunch of new experiences, including the journey of finding the perfect bra. But don't worry, we’re here to help - let's chat about what kind of bra is right for her at 11. She might be starting to notice some changes happening to her body, and that's completely normal! With these changes comes the need for a little extra support, both physically and emotionally.

so… when should you start thinking about taking her bra-shopping?

First things first: let's talk about why it's never too young to start thinking about bras, even at 11. While she’s still a kid, it's important to remember that every body develops at their own pace. Some girls might start noticing changes earlier than others, and that's completely normal and okay! Whether or not you decide to buy her first bra yet, what matters is that she’s comfortable and ready, and knows what options are out there!

Wearing a bra isn't just about physical support; it's also about feeling comfortable and confident in her skin. By wearing a bra that fits her well and provides the support needed, she’s taking an important step towards embracing and celebrating her body exactly as it is. Plus, wearing a bra can help her feel more secure and protected as her body continues to grow and change.

That's why it's important to have open and honest conversations with your daughter about bra shopping. Sharing your advice and support is crucial to navigating this new experience together! Plus, shopping for bras together can be a fun and bonding experience that strengthens your relationship and helps her feel more confident in her choices. So don't be afraid to initiate these conversations- we’re always here to help as well!

consider this before buying her a training bra

Now, you’ve probably heard about training bras, and wondering if they're the right choice for your child. While training bras can be a good starting option for some girls, they're not always the best choice. Why? They can be flimsy and offer minimal support, which might leave her feeling uncomfortable and insecure. Not only that, but she might outgrow a training bra very quickly and feel discomfort when it doesn’t support her the same way it used to.
