When should I get my daughter a bra?

I’m a FTM to a girl. My daughter is 6 and has been asking for a bra. She isn’t developed yet. She just has been asking for one. What age did y’all get bras for your girls?

I just started having my 8 almost 9 year old wear one.

I bought my girls and my nieces bras (sports bras) from like age 6 on. We made it a lot of fun and they loved it. I felt like its never too young and it keeps them modest.

I started getting my daughter the little sports bras with no padding when she started school

Usually about eight… You can get cropped vest tops which work really well as mini-bras.

My girl asked for it because she was conscious about it. I guess in the summer i got her a few training bras to try and she liked it.

My six year old has training bras. She doesn’t need them but I love them for certain outfits.

My daughter was the same and I just got her a sports bra

My 6 year old wears sports bras all the time. She loves them. I think it gets them ready for a bra when they actually do need it

My daughter wanted a bra so young too! I got her the little half tank sports bras.

It’s up to you as a parent when it’s appropriate.
I personally chose to get my girls sports bras to start out with until they developed enough for the training bra once they either asked to start wearing one or started budding.

Get her one! If she is asking go get her a sports bra. Just bc they aren’t developed yet doesn’t mean she doesn’t feel like she may need one.

If she asks, let her have the half tanks or sports bras. It doesn’t hurt anyone or anything.

Just give her a training bra or undershirt. My 8 year old has one that she has worn a few times to see what it’s like. Better to start getting used to it early. I have a 10 year old who needs one and it took 6 months to gently convince her to wear one just out of the house lol.

Only get one if she needs it not just because she wants one.

my 5 year old is pretty solid and looked like she was more developed. I have her wear sports bras (she thinks it’s a bra and knows to put one on everyday) I get them cheaper at tj max, Ross, Marshall. sometimes they do have padding but I remove it.

Just start her with a cami top

If she is asking I would get her one so she can get use to it before she really needs one.

My daughter is 7 and I noticed she “needed” them around then I bought her training bras for Christmas we don’t use the wired bras just yet.

Get her one :slight_smile: it’s not a bad thing. Also other girls may have one or she is just trying to be like mom.

See if you can find underroos for her

I feel like at 6 I would allow my daughter to have a training bra. Nobody will see it and she probably just wants to be like her mom. If anything, it will just prepare her for when she does develop and “needs” one.

I’ve bought crop tops for my nearly 7 year old. She loves them

My 9 yr old has been wearing a sports bra regularly for a couple years now. She’s more comfortable when she is wearing one!

Sports bra or training bra either once they ask or once you notice they are developing

When the buttons start growing!

My grand daughter’s aged 10 and 13
Both wear sports bras
As they are comfortable

Get her a training bra. Let her wear it and be just like mommy. If she is too young, who cares? She wants to be just like the other women around her. It will help her get used to them, and she will probably feel like a very big girl wearing it.

My 8 year old got sports bras this summer but she’s also budding.

I’d just get her an undershirt or sports bra thing. No need to overthink it

You can get like crop top bras that don’t support but looks like a bra it might just be that she’s getting more self conscious and wants to be more grown up. I wouldn’t get a proper bra till needed

If she’s interested in what they feel like or wants to wear one then get her a sports bra. She can use them for modesty reasons or just bc she wants to. Just don’t force the issue if she decides that she doesn’t want to wear it all the time.

I also think she is trying to grow up too fast. I would buy her one when she needs it and not before then. My daughter wore undershirts at that age.

Take her to Walmart or target and let her pick out some training bras :grin:

Mine got crop tops about her age

Start out with some cute under shirts… There will be plenty of time she’ll have to wear them
Don’t let her grow up faster than she needs too it goes fast enough

I’d go ahead and get her sports bras.

Mine is 10 and doesn’t need a bra yet but she likes wearing little sports type bras under her shirts sometimes.

When they are developing a need.

Sport or training bras. I remember it took me a long time to get used to. So if she’s bringing it up I’d have her try them, she might hate them and need this time to slowly adjust.

6 years old. I just gave her a basic sports bra with no padding. Now that she’s starting to develop some, there’s no fighting on the wearing a bra and will soon be upgrading her to training bras

Go get her one. I told my mom that if she didn’t get me one at 7 years old I wasn’t going to go to school. So anyway I took my sister’s training bra. LoL. My sister hated it anyway. :rofl:

She doesn’t need it yet so tell her you’ll buy her some when the time is right

I would just buy her the simple sports bras for her age. If she doesn’t actually need it yet she probably will in the next year or two.

Let her get a bralette/training bra. It won’t hurt. Besides easier for her to get accustomed to them now.

I would just say you don’t need one yet🤷‍♀️

My daughter is 8 and I had to buy her some. I got sports type bras for her. I say if she wants one, get her one. She will atleast get used to wearing them for when she needs them. I suggest sports bras they’re more comfortable.

I’d start with a training bra but not until she has little buds. Probably around 9ish

Walmart’s girls section has justice for girls, that would be perfect to get her sports bras!

My 7 year old wears the sports bra type.

It doesnt hurt to get a training/sports bra to get used to them. My 8 yr old is budding and will not wear them bc they feel weird to her.

What’s you being a ftm have to do with it

My girls are 7 and 8, the 8 year old started “needing one” so I went ahead and got some for both girls, little training bras. They love them. If my girls had asked at 6 I would have bought them for her then. No harm in it.

My daughter is 7 I bought her a training bra basically like a sport bra

Get her the little cami type bras. You know the little non padded triangle ones.

My oldest who is now 10, isn’t really developed but she started asking about 8.5-9 yrs and I got her some of the training bras. It’s not a bad thing, they are becoming more aware of their body and learning a sense of self. A training bra is just gonna cover her (and now a days I definitely wouldn’t complain about covering ) lol… you definitely don’t want her to feel any shame in wearing one or shame for asking about one. Girls are a few years before entering that really awkward stage so the more you allow get curiosity and promote education the more comfortable she will be when it comes to the really hard conversations (sex/boyfriends) etc.

My 7 almost 8 year old has just started wearing one, shes just started getting changed at school for pe(her old school we used to send them in pe kit all day) and I thought she would like the extra privacy as she was a bit worried about getting changed in front of everyone. She doesn’t technically need one just yet so it’s more of a crop top type than an actual bra but it makes her feel more comfortable.

When she needs one, my mum got me sports bras! And told me my boobs wouldn’t grow if i had a big girl bra before it was needed :rofl::rofl:

Until she has something to put in it id say no,find out why the big push

If the child has sensory issues it’s best too try ahead of time so you can find that specific material they can tolerate.

My child has spd she’s turning 7 but a thick girl

When she started to develop

Get her a training bra! She might wear it for a little bit then discard it.

Get her one of the bra tops x

Bras aren’t even good for our muscle structure around our breasts. If it isn’t needed, it isn’t needed. Little girls like to glorify adult things because they want to mimic their parents, but let them enjoy their youth. Society has brainwashed women into thinking we need them. There’s no science saying we need them, but there’s studies indicating they can lower blood circulation and cause unnecessary pain. Not wearing a bra is actually better for your shape and lift, so I’d say let her go as long as possible. When she starts to bud, get her a loose fitting trainer. I didn’t start wearing one until I was 11-12 but hormones in processed foods are causing kids to mature much faster these days…

4th grade to start getting used to it

I mean if she is asking for one embrace it.

I needed one at that age but HATED them due to sensory issues.

If not needed, we just did camis.
If she wants to have an actual bra, and you approve. Maybe just an unpadded tank/sports bra.

Each daughter got type they needed as they needed it.

I started a basic sports bra at 6 this is when my daughter started asking. I’m actually thankful I did at 8 she developed a TON even started her period. So I say if she’s asking no harm in trying even if she doesn’t exactly need it right now.

9, but it’s because she actually needs one. If I could’ve let her go longer I would’ve. I feel like I wanted her to be a kid/bra free as long as possible.

It’s ok to get her a sports bra so she wears under her shirts and start to get comfortable with them.

If she’s asking you can just get a basic sports bra or a padless bralette. Makes her happy, and when she’s older and actually needs one it isn’t as uncomfortable since she’s already used to them.

I was 13…
I didn’t need one until I was 15

If she’s developing, and has buds then she needs one. It’s embarrassing for a young girl to walk around with buds on her chest as plain as the nose on the face. If she is showing in any way and is asking, then it’s time. Age doesn’t matter these days! My oldest was like 9.

My 4 year old already has a bra bc she asked for one :rofl: she knows no body is allowed to see her undies or her bra. The only reason she has one is because she asked for one. I don’t feel like this kinda stuff makes children grow up too soon. :woman_shrugging: it’s just how you TREAT THE SITUATION. So she asked if she could have a bra too I said yea but you have to hide it under your shirt and that was that…
I also just like to make her happy … so sometimes she gets some sparkle eyeshadow before school or lip gloss. She uses deodorant and perfume almost everyday if she catches me using it lol.
So if she is asking I’d get her a bra :woman_shrugging:

target has the little girl style

my daughter is 11 and still uses training bras without wires. i don’t see the point in getting those until support is truly needed. but at 6? i don’t think that’s necessary at all

Shes trying to grow up to quickly, no need for one yet. 8-10 is a normal development stage for training bras/bras.

when she starts developing boobs. she doesnt need one before hand and its concerning that shs asking. stop letting her watch tiktok

When she needs one . Don’t let her grow up to fast. I’m having this problem with my youngest and her father is a moron and so is his not even 30 year old wife. Smh …keep them kids as long as u can

I’d buy some tank tops or undershirts like this for a 6 year old: Feathers Girls Solid White Snug Fit Tagless Cami Vest - 100% Cotton Super Soft Undershirts (3/Pack) https://a.co/d/cSVthEY

Wondering why she would be asking at 6?

FFS. Best answer I can think of is quit asking strangers silly questions and go to Walmart and buy the girl a sports bra. She is clearly thinking that bras are girly and she wants one just get her one and no one has to even knowwwwwwww until you put it on FB lol

My daughter is about to turn 8 and hasn’t needed or wanted one. But I also didn’t start using bras until probably 11-12. ( I still barely need them :sweat_smile::joy:) I think it really depends on each child but they have ones with no padding and no wires etc they’re basically a cropped tank top, if she wants one you could offer that kind? It doesn’t hurt anything to tell her yes to it.

If she’s asking for it, then do it. Get used to wearing it early so when it’s “needed” it’s not a struggle.
Just do like a sports bra or tank style for comfort for now.

I’d just get her a training bra. I got my first one when I was 8.

My 10 year old has been waering one for about 2 years because you could start to see nipples through it. Get a training bra. You can also take the pads out of them.

Now. They get used to wearing one

I wore vests till I was 12 :woman_facepalming:t2::joy:

Every girl is different. But if she is asking for one, get her a sports bra. She’s coming to you for help and to feel comfortable with her body. So buy her a couple.

Just get her a crop top for underneath her tops

When a girl asks for one I say get it. I wanted one and my mother refused . So I made myself one out of an old slip.

My 7 year old wears a sports bra every day! Just makes her more comfortable.
