As a lingerie designer I am often asked, what is a training bra, and what makes it so special? It's a specially designed first bra or preteen bra for preteen and young teen girls whose bodies are starting to mature and whose breasts are beginning to develop. A
girls first bra
also referred to as a starter bra helps young girls become comfortable wearing
preteen lingerie
and intimate apparel as they mature.

Having a little patience and knowing which teen bras and and panties are best (and what fits) when you go lingerie shopping makes it all so much easier.
The first shopping trip for bras and lingerie for young teens is a big step in growing up, and symbolizes a young girl stepping into young womanhood. Young or old, a woman always remembers when she got her
first bra.
The world of lingerie and intimate apparel is new and does take some getting used to for young girls.
Most young ladies start wearing brassieres or "first bras" between the age of 10 and 13...some develop breasts as early as age 8, some later on, well into their teens.
Bras and lingerie for young teens can be found in most department stores, specialty lingerie stores and some teen boutiques. They are trained in measuring bra size and will be able to suggest appropriate styles and fabrics.

For something a bit dressier, cotton with lace trim is another very good first bra choice.
Also, take a look at some of the latest popular training bra styles - microfiber or cotton bras, which are very soft and stretchy. Teen girls bras that are cute, fun and flirty are definitely in...
Add a few pairs of matching panties to the bras to make a nice set. I'd recommend 2 or three pairs of teen panties to match each training bra. That way she can alternate and always have a matching set.
