Bras: Should I Wear One?

Bra or bare? Why do women wear bras? Should you?

Whether to wear a bra or not, at any stage of development or at any age, is a personal decision. If you're starting to develop breasts and you want to wear a bra, you may want to talk to your mom or an older female relative or friend about possibly getting one.

Some girls like to get training bras as soon as they start developing breasts so they can get used to what it feels like to wear a bra. A training bra can also help cover up your nipples, which may stick out and become more noticeable as your breasts begin to grow.

Depending on how big your breasts are, you might want to get a sports bra too, for gym class and any team sport (except swimming).

Just like breasts, bras come in all different shapes and sizes and different bras can make your breasts look bigger or smaller. It all depends on what you want.

I never wear a bra and I have big tities. My boobs don't sag or bounce too much.  My mom is OK with it. I wear loose fitting camis and tank tops. Unless your boobs sag , save your money and don't buy a bra.

nobody can really tell when ur gonna get one but u can tell when u have one.ur feet,joints,head,ect.(growing pains) hurt and just when u think u stuffed urself u have a craving for more.also,if u take a look at the grocery bill and compare,u can tell when u have a growth spurt.since u r ten,and i am just guessing,maybe....when u r about twelve you'll get the big growth spurt?

Some schools start junior high or middle school early than some. And maybe she skipped a grade or two.

When you are on your period your breast may seem tender. Maybe your mom only notices it when your on your period because your ARE on your period. Padded bras make yourn boobs look bigger, but I don't think they make them look bigger on your period. Hope this helps. :)

Today, my mom said she doesn't like my bra on my. She said it makes my boobs look big. (It's padded). So, I ran down stairs and took it off then put a cami on. I stuck it up in the cami on one side to compare, but it doesn't. HELP!

MinnieMouse35- it's your first bra so don't worry about what you get. As long as it doesn't rub, then don't worry.

UIOYTR- you're 10! You're suppose to be flat! Keep it while it lasts.

L1ZZ13- just be happy with what you have.
