Shopping and choosing a first bra is a big step in growing up, a rite of passage for young girls. And even by the time she reaches 90, every woman has a few fun and heartwarming first bra stories to remember.

Depending on how quickly a girl's body matures, girls from the age of seven or eight may need a training bra while others may wait a few years until they reach their early teens. Since little girls mature at different rates there is no "right age" for a training bra.

First Bras

Step One - Plan to spend some time together...don't rush. Make it a fun-filled relaxing day and have lunch together.

Reassure her, and explain that the changes in her body are normal and a training bra is something to look forward to as part of growing up. Talk about it as a positive experience.

Choose a lingerie store or a large department store with a lingerie section.

Most have consultants who can measure bra sizes. correctly, and show her how to choose the right bra styles for her size and frame.

Step Three - It's a good idea to explain the basic types of bras and what they are for.

Explain the pros and cons of underwire bras, wirefree bras, the backless bra, brassieres, adhesive bras, cotton bras, front closure bras, a teen sports bra, soft cup bras, etc.

The more she understands about styles, fit, and how things work, the more familiar and comfortable she will be with her first training bra.

Step Four - Demonstrate how to put on the brassiere by loosening the straps and slipping the arms through the straps, then leaning forward into the brassiere and fitting each breast into the cups and attaching the hook or clasping the back.

Step Five - Encourage her to try on several different types of bras in different fabrics, so she can find one or two that are comfortable. first training bra, teen bras, teen lingerie
