Girls Without Bra And Underwear
Girls Without Bra And Underwear, Let me get this off my 36C chest – I’ve always hated the phrase “training bra.” What are we training? Breasts don’t need to be trained. It’s not like a bicycle where you eventually remove training wheels and you’re off. It’s hard enough for a girl to actually put on her first bra, so let’s not make it worse with a dumb name like training bra! Okay, my rant is over.
Thank you. It’s pretty much universal as to when a girl needs to get her first bra – middle school. It was for me, but it was called Junior High. Up until my first gym class, I had always worn an undershirt. But then I found myself having to undress in front of my peers, and everyone was looking at each other to see what was being worn. I ran home and informed my Mom that I needed a bra. As a mother to two daughters, it pretty much went down the same way. My oldest is now 13, but has always been fascinated with wearing a bra. I was able to find some for her when she was around 8 – they didn’t really fit, but she wasn’t really wearing them either; they just made her feel grown up. Then, during the first week of 5th grade, we had to get serious about finding bras for her to wear every day. Now, my second daughter is in 5th grade, and as reluctant as she is to grow-up (she once told me she wants to take her childhood slowly) even she has informed me that the peer pressure is on and she needs to be wearing a bra too.
Now I know what you’re thinking; I’m in the business, so it should be simple for me. I honestly thought the same thing. But boy, it wasn’t. My older daughter was my foray into this difficult project. She measured a 32AA. So, I went on my site and looked. About a dozen styles appeared. I bought all of them and brought them home for her to try on.
Here’s what I learned. Wacoal makes a really fabulous line of petite bras. But they do not fit young girls properly. The underwires fall on the wrong part of their body, and the cups don’t look right. The Wacoal petite bras really are designed for a petite woman – not a young girl. Any bra with an underwire is problematic, and frankly unnessesary. Yes, my daughter liked the look and the idea of wearing a bra with an underwire – very grown up in her mind. But again, the wires tend to fall in strange places, and without enough breast tissue, tend to move up the chest.
