The wearing of a bra does not depend on age. There are young ladies who are as young as eight who need the support a sports bra gives. There are also young ladies as old as 20 who do not need the bra for support reasons.

A brassiere is a support garment for the breast muscles and other tissue that is on the female anatomy. It's purpose is to provide modesty and comfort for what is sometimes a very uncomfortable body situation. It is important to get properly fitted for a bra as a young lady develops breasts to insure comfort and functionality to the garment.

The best way to get fitted is to go to any large department store and get measured for the bra. This can be done over the clothing and is not necessarily a privacy matter. If a male parent must help, then he only needs to make sure that his young lady is comfortable with the sales clerk. After the measurements are taken, the sales clerk will provide several Bras to try on. One of them should fit better than another, it is your preference.

Until the body is settled through the teen years, it is best to get fitted at least once a year...twice if there is a growth spurt in the young lady. The twenties usually settle the bra size for several years if there is no unusual weight gain or loss.

Of course, if the young ladies' classmates are all getting bras and your young lady does not have one...or need one, it is still a matter of peer pressure to acquire a couple to help over the awkwardness of the situation. Peer pressure can be a powerful motivator to ask for something that might not be necessary. Buy the thing anyway...she'll grow into it.

You certainly don't have to be a certain age! Just when you feel you are ready, and that it is more comfortable to you. Especially during puberty, when they grow. I would talk to a trusted adult about your descision. :) Thanks for asking!

Girls develop at different ages, so it will depend on your body. If you feel self-concious about not wearing a bra, or if you find you need the support when doing physical activity then you should wear one. There is no obligation to start wearing a bra, or to wait until you reach a certain age. A good rule of thumb is that it's time to start wearing a bra when you can feel your chest move when you run.

Starting at ae 11 girls should start wearing a bra since their bodies start changing that will make them more comfortable.

At the age of 11 it isn't fully required to wear a real women's bra, only a small, meant for children. A real bra can be taken to use at the age of 12-14.

However, the condition of the development of the girls' breasts will influence, as in some a bra is not needed even at the age of 13 because of poor development.

It depends on the girl, her development and her parents. Most of my friends wore bras from being 9 or 10 even though they were completely flat chested. However, I got my first bra at age 11 and size 32a. In my eyes, I think I should have worn a bra earlier than this but my mum didn't. Even when I got my first bra my mum didn't seem completely sure I needed it but I was at secondary school and actually had boobs.

Personally, I started to wear a bra at age 11. It was the summer before sixth grade, and I knew I would need them for gym the next year because we have to get changed in front of each other. I started off with a sports bra. I find trainer bras to be really uncomfortable. Next, I started with a bra with removable pads. After getting used to wearing a bra, I felt confident in sixth grade. Some people start wearing them a lot earlier, and that's fine. Everyone develops at a different pace.

Training bras are bras for people who are developing breasts and have a small lump. You know when u are too old for a training bra when u wear it and u can still see the nipple through the bra and u start to feel uncomfortable
