For Starters:

  • You decide when and if you want to wear a bra.

  • The main purpose of a bra is comfort and support.

  • Don’t be embarrassed to ask about bras – it’s
    normal.

  • Talk to your mother or guardian and explain your
    decision to wear a bra.

  • Keep it private.
Bra Sizes
  • It is not always easy
    to find the  right bra.  
    Your bra size
    combines a number
    and a letter.  For
    example, you may be
    a 32 AA.  
    
  • The number refers to
    the size of your rib
    cage (30, 32, 34, 36,
    38, 40, etc.).  This is
    called the band or
    body size.

  • The letter refers to
    the size of the Breast
    or cup size (AAA,
    AA, A, B, C, D, etc).
    It is called the cup
    size.
How to Measure for a Bra
In front of a mirror use a measuring tape
to measure your breasts.

1.  Measure your rib cage directly under
your bust and add 5.  If you get an odd #
add 1 to even it.  Write this number down.


2.  Measure around your breast at the
fullest part. Write this number down.

If band size   = cup size you are an AA;
1” bigger then band size is an A;  2” =B,
3” =C, 4” = D.
All About Bras...
Types of Bras:
  1. The first bra you'll use.  
    Training bras (cup sizes AAA
    to A) help you get  used to  
    wearing a bra.
  2. Sports bras will hold you
    breasts snuggly so that they
    don’t bounce around during
    sports.
  3. Soft cup bras are soft and
    flexible but can provide
    support for smaller breasted
    girls. They are very
    comfortable.
  4. Under wire bras are for
    larger breasted girls who may
    need extra support. This bra
    has a curved wire sewn to the
    bottom of each cup.
