First Bra Gallery - You Don't Need An Entire Wardrobe

A woman’s lingerie drawer is often filled with countless colors and styles of beautiful lingerie and bras, but this is definitely not the way you need to get started.

With preteen lingerie we recommend the acronym, KISS - keep it simple (and) sensational.

When you’re just starting off with first bras all you need are one or two styles to cover the basics. Save the vast collection for when you’re older and know which styles and colors you really enjoy.

Preteen Bras Don't Have To Be Boring

Not all training bras need to be bland and boring. Keep the style and color simple so that it’s as versatile as possible but look for pretty details and trims to keep your it looking cute and trendy.

Look for lace or delicate bows between the bust or pretty satin straps – those extra little flourishes will make your bra feel special and exciting to wear.

You Don't Need A Padded Bra

No matter what size you are, a first bra should be an easy and comfy style that you can wear every day.

Lightly lined cups are the perfect choice for keeping you covered and comfortable.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking you need to boost your bust or look bigger than you are with bulky padding.

You’ll fill out as you mature and don’t need to fake it in the meantime.

First Bra Gallery Tip

Young girls can be ultra sensitive when it comes to the changes in their bodies developing and maturing, so it is important to be kind and most importantly, patient.

A Training Bra Doesn't Have To Be Uncomfortable

Bras get a bad rap for being uncomfortable when they really don’t need to be. Here are a few quick tips:

  • Avoid scratchy fabrics like stiff nylon or lace and stick to soft cotton or smooth microfiber with an easy stretch fit
  • Opt for wire free bralette styles over under wire cups, and look for stretchy bra bands instead of adjustable ones

With all of the options available there’s no reason why your first bra can’t be completely comfortable to wear.

Preteen Bras Don't Need To Be Obvious

Girls are often nervous about how they’ll look when wearing their first bra – will everyone be able to see it?

Will it be noticeable? The right bra should disappear completely under your clothing and can be your special secret, if you choose the right one. How?

Look for a color that matches your skin tone as closely as possible, and stick to smooth, seam-free microfiber cups for a sleek look that no one will see.
