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.
