Everything you need to know about your first bra
The right time for your first bra differs from girl to girl and has nothing to do with age. Every girl develops at her own pace. You’ll know it's time for your first bra when you notice subtle changes in your body. You may start to feel uncomfortable without a bra; for example, because your breasts may be noticeable through your shirt. Or your breasts may start to hurt when you exercise or run without a bra. This is your body’s way of telling you your breasts could use some support. It's time to give them the support they need so that you can move and exercise comfortably.
The first step when shopping for a new bra
When it's time for your first bra, the first step is to figure out your bra size. This may seem complicated (and admittedly, the numbers and letters look a bit like a secret code), but a little help can go a long way. All you need to determine your bra size is a measuring tape and some help from your mom or a trusted friend. Even better: Stop by your local lingerie store to get professionally measured. For breasts that are still growing and changing, the expert advice of a lingerie stylist can be invaluable. She can tell you exactly which size, style, and support you need.

Tips for buying your first bra
When shopping for your first bra, you want to find something that feels good, looks good, and makes you feel confident.
