How to Get a Comfortable Training Bra for Tweens

Choosing the right training bra is important for tweens. Learning the proper way to measure and understand sizing is essential for selecting the correct fit. Additionally, it is recommended that tweens shop for soft, seamless fabrics for comfort and modesty. Follow these steps to help your tween choose the best fit.

Step 1: Get Accurate Measurements

Before shopping for a training bra, use a tape measure to get accurate measurements of your tween’s chest size and cup size. Have your tween stand in front of a mirror for the process, as it will be important for them to be aware of their changing body shape. Follow these simple instructions:

• Measure the circumference of your tween’s chest directly under the bust and round up to the closest whole number. This will be the band size.
• Measure the circumference of your tween’s chest shortly over the bust. Subtract the band size from this number and round up to the closest whole number. This will be the cup size.

Step 2: Understand the Training Bra Sizing Numbers

Once you have the measurements, it is important to understand the sizing numbers associated with training bras. These generally follow the same sizing pattern that is seen in regular bras; the band size followed by the cup size. For instance, if a tween’s measurements correspond to a 30A, then they will require a 30A training bra.

Step 3: Select Soft and Seamless Fabrics

When selecting fabrics from the store, look for ones that are soft and seamless. This will be more comfortable for your tween and will also provide better coverage and modesty. Seamless fabrics are also ideal for providing a snug fit without being constricting.

Step 4: Enjoy the New Bra!

Once the training bra has been purchased, your tween is now ready to enjoy their new bra. Be sure to make it a positive experience by discussing the importance of measure accuracy and of selecting comfortable, modest fabrics.
