Your First Bra

It's kind of a “right of passage” or “coming of age” thing. Do you remember getting your first bra?

I was 11 years old, my breasts had only just started to bud. A lot of girls at my school had started wearing a bra and getting changed for gym class I started to feel left out. One day I asked my mum if she would take me shopping to buy a bra..her immediate reaction was “But you don't need one!”..but , sensing my social anxiety she later said we could go shopping at the weekend.

She bought me a pack of 3 training bras, 32AA (and there was still a bit of room in them..lol) a pink one, a white one and a light blue one, they were soft cotton and had a tiny bit of lacey trim on the top edge which I thought was very grown up, and they had a proper clasp at the back!…I suddenly felt like an adult..or at least a teenager. I spent quite a while when I got home just posing in the mirror!

Love to hear if other girls remember that big day!

Holy crap….when….. I'm thinking 11 or 12. Things didn't really start ‘popping’ until maybe 15.. then suddenly one morning it was math girl….with boobs!

I think that I was 11 and probably didn't need one. My best friend was wearing one that she needed. I assure you that my cup didn't run over. lol! The nicest thing that I can say about my boobs is that they never impeded my golf swing. lol!

@ddell2 - I had an assistant years ago who was drop dead gorgeous, but had two pancakes on her chest. One of her favorite comments was, “My Playtex Living Bra starved to death!” It never seemed to affect her love life.

I got my first one when my breasts started to grow and it became uncomfortable to go up and down the stairs in school. It was a lacy contraption I hated, it itched, it came unhooked, the straps slipped, I didn't like it one iota. I was much more comfortable in a sports bra and stayed with it for years.

Mine was a pastel Lovable first bra

I got my first bra when I was just 12 because I was growing a bit, and I thought it was a bit uncomfortable until I got used to it. I think I could wear my first bras for only about 6 months before I needed new ones. Until I was about 14 my bras only lasted 5 minutes because my boobs were growing so fast I could almost watch them get bigger. lol

Not sure if this is relevant. At 11 in my school summer holidays, me and my best friend would play in the dirt, make camps in the forest, go swimming naked in the lake and even change infront of me. We never saw it as a big deal as kids. But over that one summer she started growing up and had acquired a bra. After 2 months we met up again in the October and around my house she changed infront of me and they it was. Her bra, and her growing chest. I was so embarassed. I didnt know where to look. It's a shame but our childhood days felt so far away after that.

I got mine when I started Middle School, so age 11. God knows I didn’t need one but it was a rite of passage. It was white with tiny pink flowers on it, pale enough not to show through my clothes.
