a sports bra

FASHION268.NET - Buying a training bra is a big step for any girl because this is generally a sign of becoming a young woman. Depending on their maturity, girls at the age of seven or eight may need a training bra while others wait until their pre-teen years. Follow these steps to pick the right bra.

Step 1:

Talk about the purpose for wearing a bra. A woman-to-young-woman chat may help to alleviate the anxiety of shopping for a training bra. The chat should comfort the young woman and allow her to ask questions about her body.

Step 2:

Go to a large department store with a lingerie department for a proper bra fitting. Most lingerie departments have consultants who can take the young woman's measurements and show her how to choose the right bra for her size. This teaches the importance of proper fitting for support and comfort.

Step 3:

Discuss the benefits of under-wire versus elasticized bras, padding and fabric options, types of bra clasps, and colors.

Step 4:

Demonstrate how to put on a bra by slipping the arms through the straps, fitting each breast into the cups and clasping the back. Adjust the straps for a comfortable and snug fit.

Step 5:

Encourage the young woman to try on multiple types of bras for her size so she can find one that fits comfortably.

Step 6:

Select the style bra that will get the most use, considering the young woman's wardrobe. Neutral colors such as white, cream and tan are versatile and can be worn under most shirts without being visible.

Step 7:

Purchase more than one bra if possible so that she can wash one while the other is in use.
