Breasts can start growing as early as age 7 and don't stop until the late teens. The average age is about 11.
Some girls may want to wear preteen bras more because all of their friends are wearing them.
Your mom was your age once too, and probably felt the same way you feel.
Just ask her to get you a training bra, or ask for some money and get one yourself.
Or, if you're too embarrassed, you can always ask her how old she was when she got her first brassiere. This will usually give her a little hint.
If you haven't started to really develop yet, and are looking for a starter bra to get used to, try on some first bras in the xsmall to xlarge sizes.
Once your breasts begin to grow larger you'll need to shop for regular sized bras based on band and cup size.
For more information on determining bra size, see our
bra size calculator.
Avoid underwire bras or anything rigid or heavy. Instead, look for comfortable fabrics that are soft and stretchy with a bit of lycra like cotton, nylon, or microfiber.
