Underwear for teenage girls. Choosing a bra for a teenage girl

You need to choose the right bra for a teenage girl, because at a young age it is necessary to approach the issue with special attention and caution. For girls aged 10 to 16, you should buy bras that are as comfortable and high-quality as possible. Appearance, coloring and design are of no small importance.

Varieties of models

The size of the first bra depends on the individual characteristics of the girl, so the choice of underwear models must be approached personally. But, nevertheless, there are certain rules that are better to follow in view of the growth and formation of the female mammary glands. The reason for the wide variety of models is simple: not all types of bras fit equally well on the same girl and woman.

• With cups. The most common and popular bra model. Classic lingerie designed to shape and support the bust. Bra tailoring has a closed or semi-open cup. The peculiarity of the bra is that it anatomically correctly forms the chest, if chosen according to size.

• With push-up. The push-up bra features different inserts at the bottom of the model, which lift the bust, forming an attractive cleavage. Underwear visually increases the size of the breast, the straps in the model are widely spaced. Push up models have removable inserts. For teenage girls, it is recommended to buy a model if the breast size is small and you want to beautifully emphasize the forms, for example, on prom. However, for girls with an AA or A breast size and asymmetry, the model will not work.

• Seedless. A bra with no underwires in the cups. The model is perfect for teenage girls with still completely unformed breasts, widely spaced. If the bust requires full coverage, choose a model without wires. Its peculiarity is that it is as comfortable as possible, does not constrain movements and does not cause discomfort.

• Sports. A model in which there are also no bones. Sports bras are designed to reduce breast movement during running and other physical activities. The design of the sports bra consists of wide straps and large cups. They completely cover the chest. The advantage of a sports bra is that it does not allow damage to breast tissue. The classification of sports bras is divided by the level of physical activity, so it is not recommended to wear such a model every day.

• Bustier. Model with cups, similar to a narrow short top. A rather provocative bra, the main function of which is to support the breasts in the correct position. It is recommended to wear a bustier on special occasions, for example under Evening Dress. Older teenage girls should not wear the model every day. The bra perfectly supports posture.

• Bra-top. It is a T-shirt in which cups are sewn with or without inserts. Comfortable underwear performs the main task - supporting the chest. Suitable for outdoor activities, physical education and sports.
• Seamless. The bra is made of one piece fabric without seams. It gives the breast beautiful shapes, provided by the design feature of the linen. For teenage girls, it is recommended to wear seamless models, as they naturally support the still unformed glands. The peculiarity of the bra is that it is practically invisible under tight-fitting clothing. The model is ideal for girls with small breasts who do not need strong support.

• With mini cups. A model of a bra designed for girls of a fragile physique and small stature. The cups are doubled, located close to each other, the shoulder straps are shortened. The bra is perfect for teens with a bust size B.
• With a fastener in front. A model of a bra that does not fasten at the back, but at the front. It is easy to put on and take off, so teenage girls will love the product. The bra is not very functional as it cannot be adjusted. Therefore, at the time of purchase, you should buy a perfectly fitting model. The product is not designed to support large breasts.

• Minimizer. Bra designed for visual breast reduction. The model is relevant, there is a breast big size, and the teenage girl is shy and wants to hide it. The product has a modest design, gives grace to the shape of the breast, rounds it, excellent support. Buy a bra according to your size.

• Strapless. The strapless model is not entirely practical, since its main function depends on the stiffness and quality of the fabric, the design and shape of the cups. A bra without underwire and straps supports the chest less and is called a bandeau. A product without straps will better hold the chest if it has a wide belt with inserts and bones. This bodice should be chosen if you want to wear a top or strapless dress.
• Contour. The model is a bodice with seamless cups, which have a small layer of foam rubber. This gives the breast shape and hides the nipples. A contoured bra is great because it can be worn under a t-shirt or clothing that hugs the body. Ideal for teenage girls with small, undersized breasts.

• With filler. The filler in the inner part of the bodice cup gives the breast a beautiful round shape, increases its size and hides the nipples. A bra should be chosen for girls with slight asymmetry of the mammary glands and a small size. In this model, you should not engage in physical education and wear it every day, as the filler can slow down the growth of the breast and affect its formation.

Popular colors

During the purchase of the first bra in life, the design and color of the product plays a huge role. When choosing a bra for a teenage girl, remember that it should not look deliberately sexy. The most popular and relevant shades of underwear for teenagers are pink, peach, lilac, blue, white, beige, gray, dark blue. The coloring also depends on the age of the girl. For 10-13 years old, buy models with prints, patterns: flowers, peas, stripes.

Girls aged 14-16 gravitate toward ruffles, lace, or more classic solid colors. A black bra is the choice of girls who want to look older or already have their own style. The unchanging classics of black and white underwear should be present in the wardrobe of an adult woman and a teenager. The choice of colors, style of the bra should be adjusted by the mother. Try to prolong the girl's childhood as long as possible, because she will always have time to become an adult.

How to choose the first bra for a teenager

The choice of the first bra is a responsible step into adulthood. The smallest models for girls are designed for a girth under the chest of 65 centimeters. This size is standard for girls 12-13 years old. For teenagers 10-11 years old, it is best to buy bras in the form of sports tops. Their advantage is that they do not have a negative effect on the formation of the breast, unlike models with cups.

In the top, the girl feels as comfortable as possible. It does not constrain movements, it is convenient to run, jump, lead an active lifestyle in it. In addition, the bra-top does not affect the posture, does not make the girl slouch. Such underwear is practically not felt on the body. Bra tops are suitable for girls with small breasts (less than zero). If possible, choose models without seams, pressing straps and narrow straps.

14-16-year-old girls can buy more feminine models. If you want, buy a push-up bra, but it is often not recommended to wear it, because the girl is still growing and her breasts are developing. Corset bras with underwire and foam rubber can deform the breast and slow down its growth. In order to choose the right size correctly, you will need a centimeter tape and outside help.

• The volume of the torso under the chest should be measured while inhaling. Keep the tape parallel to the floor.
• Next, measure the volume at the most protruding points of the chest. Do not pull the tape too tight or loosen it.
• Subtract the smaller number from the larger one. The resulting result will be the cup size. The calculation data are presented in a small table.

10 to 12	AA cup
12 to 14	cup A
14 to 16	B cup
from 16 to 18	C cup
from 18 to 20	cup D

When choosing a bra, it is important to consider not only the volume of the chest, but also the size of the body under it. The large table shows how these two calculations affect the choice of the right size of linen. If you want to find the perfect teenage bra, use useful advice ask your mom for advice.

How to put on

There is a whole instruction on how to put on a bra correctly. It also depends on the type of linen and size. To get started, select underwear by size. Put on the bra by sliding your hands through the straps that connect the cups to the back of the bra. Next, fasten your bra.

Classic models have fasteners at the back: two or three staples and hooks that are connected to each other. They allow you to adjust the level of contraction. If you want to fasten your bra tighter, thread the hooks through the staples further from the edge and vice versa. Some models fasten on the side or front. If you can’t fasten the bra at the back, do it first: put on the product back to front, fasten it, and then move the cups to the place of the chest and put your hands through the straps.

After putting on the bra, adjust the length of the straps. They should sit properly on the shoulders, but not cut into the skin and not fall off. The length is adjustable with plastic buckles on the back of the shoulder strap. Make sure your breasts are properly seated in the cups. Correct it, this is easier to do if you bend forward a little. Then, stand up straight: the chest should look up.

Child Size Chart

Girls should be guided when choosing the first bra on a special table. In connection with acceleration, it is relevant not only for adult women, but also for adolescents.

Over the years, yesterday's girls become true ladies. The little girl, who until recently tried on her mother's high-heeled shoes and painted with her lipstick, today already has these attributes in her arsenal. It's no secret that girls tend to grow up as soon as possible - looking at her mother's wardrobe, the baby dreams of wearing similar things. Having reached adolescence, along with basic wardrobe the girl's underwear also changes.

Peculiarities

Linen in the wardrobe occupies a very important position. It is not only a means of hygiene, but also an expression of style. Teenage girls attach great importance to the choice of clothes in general and underwear in particular. If earlier a little fashionista adored children's panties with the image of funny cartoons, cats and bunnies, now the grown-up girl prefers underwear of bright colors with various prints and inscriptions.

As for the bra, there should be several varieties in the arsenal of a young girl.

For summer periods do not purchase products with dense, air-tight foam rubber. This is not only about convenience and comfort, such a thing can simply harm your health. A model that visually enlarges the chest, of course, can be in the wardrobe. But it is better if such a bra is, as they say, for a specific occasion. You can safely wear it under Nice dress before going to a party.

The wardrobe of a young beauty should include a sports bra. This model is somewhat different from the usual bra. This bodice is characterized by wide elastic bands, and it is better if it is a special elastic top with cups. Playing sports will bring only joy and the girl will not have to worry that the straps may come unfastened or marks will remain on the skin. By the way, this model is perfect for every day.

Linen style

IN adolescence, until about twenty years old, the girl has not yet formed her own style. Of course, there is something that a young fashionista prefers, but basically all girls want a thing “like a girlfriend” or their idol. Conditionally teenage underwear can be divided into two categories. The first is comfortable, versatile with a discreet design, and the second is expressive lingerie, decorated with romantic ruffles and playful bows.

Lovers of the simplicity of a laconic style simply cannot pass by white, black and flesh tone. Admirers of everything bright and fashionable can afford such colors as yellow, pink, light green and so on. It is important that the underwear is chosen in accordance with the clothes and does not stand out against its background.

There can be a lot of complementary details in underwear, these are ruffles, and floral trim, and bright prints, the most important thing is to choose the right set to feel confident and comfortable in it.

How to choose

The choice of underwear for a teenage girl should be approached with all responsibility. Girls of this age are often already able to make their own choice, but it is very important that it be the right one. Mom should have an informative conversation with her daughter to explain all the subtleties and nuances that you should pay attention to before buying underwear.

Initially, you should pay attention to the composition of the product. Underwear should be predominantly made of organic cotton. This is very important detail, after all synthetic fabrics can be irritating at best. Of course, underwear can be made of synthetics, but then it is very important that there is a cotton insert in a certain place.

Panties

Panty size plays a huge role. Teenage underwear must be matched proportionately.

Panties that are small will leave marks and may even dig into the skin, thereby delivering pain. In addition, wearing underpants of small size can lead to serious health problems, because the body of a teenager is at the stage of development, and tight underwear will simply squeeze the organs. It is worth paying attention to the quality of the seams and existing inserts, they should not be rough so as not to cause discomfort when worn.

Various design elements should not be left unattended. It should not be voluminous lace or large details. Such, albeit cute-looking models can deliver a lot of discomfort in the process of wearing.

It is better to refuse thong panties in adolescence, even adult women are not recommended to wear such models, as they do not meet hygiene requirements. If under certain clothes the seams of panties stand out, it is better to purchase a seamless model than to resort to thongs.

Bra

Of course, the most important point before buying is fitting. It is not recommended to buy a single thing without putting it on yourself, but what can we say about the first bra? If a mother goes shopping without her daughter, it is worthwhile to discuss and find out the girl’s preferences in advance so that the first bra does not become a disappointment. Of course, it would be better if the daughter and mother go to such an important event together. In this case, the size will be correct, and the design will suit the child, and such delicate shopping will unite mother and daughter.

The first bra for a girl has a functional, aesthetic and psychological value.

In a functional sense, it contributes to the harmonious development of feminine forms. In an aesthetic sense, the first bra helps to perceive yourself as a beautiful maturing girl. And in the psychological one, it teaches an adult woman to wear wardrobe items and teaches the competent use of a new type of lingerie, which will need to be used all her life.

When is it necessary?

Each girl has individual characteristics of development. One of the earliest age marks to start wearing a bra is 9 years old. In general, between the ages of 9 and 15, most girls are already starting to get used to a new piece of clothing.

Signs that will indicate that it is time to buy the first children's bra:

• the girl began to be embarrassed to wear slightly transparent or tight blouses, T-shirts and dresses;
• there was a desire to hold the chest during active movements: running, jumping, etc .;
• there are sensations of swelling, sensitivity and even a little soreness when touched;
• discomfort appears in the delicate area when wearing clothes made of coarse fabrics;
• the girl began to be embarrassed to change clothes in front of her parents and her peers;
• if you measure the circumference under the bust, then it has already reached 65-67 cm

From a medical point of view, a bra is necessary for the developing mammary glands in order to protect against microdamages and injuries. The opinion of the doctors is unequivocal - if the breasts began to fit in the girl's palm folded in a boat, then it's time to update the wardrobe. Properly chosen bra will help the harmonious formation of the chest.

It happens that a teenage girl is initially richly gifted by nature and has quite early age, for example, the third breast size. In this case, wearing a bra is a must, as it will help you keep fit longer. nice shape and avoid stretching the skin.

From a psychological point of view, this is not only a physiological need, but also a certain milestone in the mind of a growing child, symbolizing the transition to girlhood. Therefore, psychologists recommend that you pay attention to the girl's request to start wearing, even if you visually see that there is no such need yet. In adolescence, public opinion is very important. And if friends and peers are already wearing the first bras, then next to them the girl will not want to feel her inferiority. In this case, it is also recommended to purchase the first model, albeit a purely “symbolic” one.

Did you know that: The bra owes its origin to the corset. In the 18th century, girls began to wear a corset from the age of seven, which had an extremely negative effect on health. In the middle of the 19th century, doctors and progressive women who opposed the wearing of this wardrobe item cut it into upper and lower parts, which made it easier for women and added freedom of movement to them. Among them was the writer George Sand. Bras subsequently turned out from the upper part.

Nowadays, underwear does not damage women's health, but, on the contrary, reflects favorably on it. However, there are certain nuances in choosing a bra for a young girl that should not be neglected.

Peculiarities.

The main differences between the children's model and the adult:

• the absence of decorative elements, one way or another intended for seduction;
• lack of habitual bones, only lateral bones can be sewn;
• mainly used for tailoring natural materials, with a cotton content of at least 70%;
• lack of a rigid, fixing cup.

The colors mostly resemble or sport style, or it's cute, childish colors. Bright and colorful patterns in the form of peas, flowers and berries, bows and stripes are the most common prints. If the bra is made in a monophonic version and somewhat resembles a swimsuit for a girl, then it will be easier for her to get used to a new item of her wardrobe.

We will talk about styles in more detail below in the “Beautiful Models” section.

Preferred fabrics for a young fashionista's bra:

• Microfiber is an elastic, soft material, the properties of which are as similar as possible to natural fabrics.
• cotton in pure form or with a slight addition of breathable polyamide.
• Tight knitwear.
• Breathable viscose is a fabric obtained by processing wood.
• Some types of satin and silk will also work.

We also note that at this age the change in breast size occurs quickly, so be prepared to update your bra regularly. A timely update will eliminate the possibility of squeezing the mammary glands if the model has already become small.

Dimensions.

The most popular sizes for teenage girls: zero, first, second and third. You can determine the size quite easily using the following algorithm:

• first, while inhaling, measure the girth chest under the breast;
• then, at the most protruding points, the chest girth is measured with a tape;
• then subtract the first from the second value and remember the difference in centimeters.

The classification of teenage bras is based on this difference. If it is from 10 to 12 cm, then this is considered a size zero and is labeled as AA. Accordingly, the difference from 12 to 14 cm is the first size, indicated by one letter A. The difference from 14 to 16 cm is the second size, marked as B. And if the value is from 16 to 18 cm, then this is the third size, indicated on the product by the letter C .

On the label in front of the letters there is a number that corresponds to the volume of the body under the breast. That is, a size 70 AA will mean that the bra will fit on a size zero breast with a chest girth of 70 cm.

If your measurements differ by a couple of centimeters from the standard, then they are rounded up. Adjustable back closure allows you to adjust the size to your needs.

How to choose the first bra?

If during measurements it turns out that there is still no suitable size for the girl, then in this case a model in the form of a top is selected, resembling a sports short T-shirt. Support cups can be sewn into it. This is a very comfortable and functional option for those whose chest circumference is less than 67 centimeters.

It is not recommended to choose a bra without trying on. Firstly, because the shape of the cups made of fabric should ideally repeat the emerging forms, which, moreover, are constantly changing. It is extremely difficult to determine without careful fitting.

Please note that the bra cup must be filled completely. Options with dense inserts in the cup may be recommended for wearing if the breast has already reached the second size.

Secondly, the girl should like the chosen model in order for the new wardrobe item to be worn with pleasure. Also, the fitting will allow you to see how well the bra fits and how it looks under the clothes in which the young lady walks.

When trying on, also pay attention to the straps:

• they should not slip or, conversely, crash into the body, ideally 1-2 fingers should fit between the strap and the body;
• if the straps had to be tightened too much to make the bra fit perfectly, then this is a negative sign, since the straps quickly stretch, and will slide down when worn;
• it is better to give preference to wider straps.

The rear jumper with the fastener must not rise when moving. The optimal size is the one that allows you to fasten it on the middle hook.

When trying on, after wearing at least a minute, there should be no traces of a bra on the body. Well, if you opt for a seamless option, which has a very positive effect on blood circulation without complicating it. Bones in a bra are also undesirable, as they can impede lymph flow.

It is better to make a purchase between women's days when the breast is not enlarged and has its usual shape.

It is also recommended to buy several types of bra at once, so that in the process of everyday wear, the girl can determine which option is more comfortable for her and the best way satisfies her taste preferences.

Beautiful models.

Soft bras for girls can be in the form of a triangle, top or sports model. A sports bra has a particularly good supportive effect, thanks to the use of a special fabric and cut. There are options with low support, with medium and with high support. For physical education, this option is ideal.

The triangle is as similar as possible to the adult form, but does not have bones and dense inserts in the cup. Top bras look like tank tops, they are beautiful and very comfortable to wear. This style has a smaller supporting effect compared to sports models.

Very good seamless models or with super-flat seams. They have a positive effect on blood circulation and lymph flow. A strapless bra should be worn as little as possible. As a replacement, under clothes with bare shoulders, for example, under fancy dress, bras with transparent straps are perfect.

Front closure bras are a great option as they work very well for compact bust sizes. In addition, they are more convenient to use. Due to the peculiarities of the fit, the cup fits almost perfectly to the body in them.

Starting from the second size, a teenage girl can afford to wear a style with tight cups: "Angelica" or a balconette, a closed corbeil bra, a style with modifiable straps.

A model with a push-up effect is not recommended not only for physiological reasons but also aesthetically. At such a tender age, such tricks look absolutely inappropriate. In addition, it can adversely affect the development of the breast due to the inevitable squeezing of blood vessels. But special removable fabric tabs are quite acceptable.

How to wear?

Wearing rules for girls:

• the bra is worn for no more than 12 hours, at first it will even be enough to wear it only for sports;
• the bra must be removed at night;
• it is advisable to have several bras and change them every day, since on the second day the bra needs to be given a “rest”, replacing it with another.

Seamless styles are ideal for tight-fitting clothing: knitted t-shirts and T-shirts, dresses, blouses on the figure.

It happens that a girl, by nature, already in adolescence has a dense physique. In this case, you need to make it a rule to wear bras with wide straps. It is they who evenly distribute the load and weight of the chest, and not the bones, as is commonly believed.

For a girl, it is permissible if a bra in the form of a top is visible under the translucent fabric of a blouse or dress. The only prerequisite is that its color must match the color of the clothes.
