Bras are so uncomfortable!


 

Check these out, too...

  • Turning 16--but I don't want to grow up
  • I'm only 13--why did my breasts stop growing?
  • Why do my fingers turn red when I'm cold?
  • Do guys only care about chest size?
  • My nipples won't make up their minds
I'm starting 7th grade this year, and my friend keeps telling me to wear a bra. I try to, but they are so uncomfortable! I know I'm ready for a bra with cups, but how can I get used to the way it feels?

If you having trouble getting used to wearing a bra, you might not be wearing the right size. It may be intimidating, but getting measured can really help you figure out what size to get. There are so many different types of bras (training, sports, demi, full coverage and so on!) and there are variations among all of them.

Pencil off an afternoon to go bra shopping. Pick up a bunch of different styles in your size and try them on. It may be an uncomfortable and not-so-fun time, but it will really pay off.

If you still need to get used to a bra with cups, after determining it is the right bra, wear it around for short periods of time and alternate with your cupless bra or a sports bra. Keep trying ‘em on, babe! There are comfy bras out there!

The only problem going braless in public is that people can really see what size you are, so if you are small like I am you have to wear the right shirts that dont make you look too flat chested. Padded bras are great for people like me but I wish it didnt matter so much to everyone.

I was about 9 years old when I had to start wearing my first bra.. It felt very weird. I have been chunky ever since I was a baby so I have grown faster if that makes sense.. I am now 16 years old I am a DD cup... I can understand where your comming from on how its uncomfortable to wear a bra but to me it feels soo weird not to have one on.

Is it necessary to wear a bra at home?
I'm staying at home a lot this summer, and I never wear one..I'm not very heavy in that department lol.
Would wearing a shelf bra cami be okay? or..?
thankss




Hey girlie, that's totally a personal preference! You can wear whatever you want at home and if you don't want to wear a bra that's totally ok!

I have noticed that my bras are getting too small, but I dont know how to measure for my bra size. I think there was an article on here that said how, but I couldnt find it. Could you either tell me the steps or give me the link to the article? Thanks!




Hey babe! You can also go to a store, department store or one like Victoria's Secret, and get measured there.  Run your mouse over the "Your Bod" tab then click "Boobs" for more posts that can help! xoxo

One good thing about not being big chested is that I can go bra-less at at times. I just have to be careful when I am wearing loose or low cut shirts when going without a bra for obvious reasons.

Sports bras are a good start, so you could start wearing those. I wear them and so do many of my friends.

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
