At this point, your blood pressure may be slightly elevated; sweat may or may not be forming. Your life may be flashing before your eyes. Before you go down an anxiety spiral, here are some helpful answers and tips to navigate this normal rite of passage.
训练胸罩到底是什么？
与其名称相反，训练胸罩本身没有进行任何“训练”。没有新兵训练营或俯卧撑。确实，训练胸罩的目的是掩盖或充当女儿成长的乳房和乳头和她的T恤之间的障碍。
“There is no medical or physiological reason to wear a training bra other than the social and psychological reasons,” saidBrenda Kronborg, DO, a pediatrician withBanner Children's - Banner Health Clinic在亚利桑那州梅萨。“训练胸罩几乎是标准文胸，除了装饰，因为它们没有提供任何支持。它们使突出的乳头降低了，但没有采取任何行动来“训练”乳房。
女孩通常在几岁时开始戴训练胸罩？
Puberty can start as early as age 8 in girls—sometimes even earlier—and can last well into their teen years. This wide range in ages means girls will have varying stages of breast development. In this case, don’t let their age guide your decision but instead base it on the tell-tale signs, such as breast buds, and conversations you have with your daughter about her desire to start wearing one.
“As soon as the breasts start growing breast buds, small (sometimes very tender) bumps below the nipples, is typically when girls start wearing training bras,” said Dr. Kronborg. “Normally, by the time a girl can fill a B cup is when she’ll eventually require a standard bra.”
我女儿准备开始戴训练胸罩了吗？
Although having a conversation about bras can be a bit awkward (especially if you’re the male caretaker in the family), it’s an important one to have as part of your ongoing conversations about your daughter’s developing body.
When it comes to deciding when she should start, there are a number of factors to consider—some social, some psychological and some that are just personal for you and your child.
- Does she have breast buds?
- Is she getting stares by those looking at her developing breasts?
- 其他朋友穿着它们吗？
- 她的乳房成长是否变得更加自觉或尴尬？
- 她是否表现出不适感（其中一些亮片T恤因乳头臭名昭著而臭名昭著）？
- 她做运动或跳舞,娘家姓的吗d extra support?
- Is she hunching over to hide her breasts?
如果她要求戴训练胸罩或胸罩怎么办？
对于您女儿的年龄的一些女孩来说，他们可能非常渴望开始戴胸罩，尤其是当他们的朋友或大姐妹已经戴着胸罩时。
“Some girls want to wear them before they really need one,” Dr. Kronborg said. “This could be because they look forward to wearing a bra or because their friends are wearing bras. Some girls feel self-conscious about their breasts and want to wear a bra.”
对于女孩开始乳房时，这可能是一个尴尬的时刻，因此，如果帮助她们更舒适和自信，训练胸罩并不是一个坏主意。
What if she refuses to wear a training bra?
While some girls may be excited, your daughter might communicate via text with, “(>_<),” which basically translates into, “Mom and dad, stop—just stop!” If you got this similar response to时期和性谈话, you shouldn’t be too surprised bythis reaction任何一个。
克朗伯格博士说：“有些女孩不想因为不适或尴尬而戴胸罩，或者在这一点上只是不想穿胸罩。”“要对女儿的感受敏感。”
“Obvi” you don’t want to force your daughter to do anything she isn’t comfortable with—even if she’s been comfortable talking about everything else.
戴胸罩是一种承诺，并不是每个女孩都会跳上船。最终，她将要找到一个想找到东西（无论是训练胸罩还是运动胸罩）的地步，这些东西将支持并鼓励她继续成为她美丽，自信的自我。当她这样做时，您可以准备好信用卡。

Here are some helpful tips to consider:
- Get them measured.Many girl’s bra styles don’t have cup sizes, because young girls aren’t fully developed yet. To measure them properly, use a tape measurer and measure around the rib cage, just under their chest. Check out this有用的指南for more tips.
- 观看填充。大多数开始发展的女孩不需要填充。您希望您的女儿对自己的皮肤感到舒适和自信，这并不意味着任何增加的绒毛。
