Training bra recs for tween girls?

[pinkyp]

I tried to search for past threads on this but didn't come up with much. DD is 10 and going into 5th and is on the cusp of needing a bra. She is pushing back atm but I'm thinking she'll be changing her mind if/when she sees other girls in theirs while they change for gym etc.

It looks like Aerie is a popular brand, has anyone's DDs tried Bluet? Or have any other other rec's for brands/styles? TIA!

My DD is very much a bra minimalist and has always liked the various Target brands. I think she started with Cat and Jack (similar to this: www.target.com/p/girls-seamless-bra-2pk-cat-jack-white-tan/-/A-51109802?preselect=51076868#lnk=sametab ) and now as a teen likes the Auden bras.

We have always done Target brand. She has zero complaints about it though.

Athleta girl has good ones. My daughter also likes Bluet. I bought some cheap soft ones off Amazon (Hanes maybe?) and those are good too.

They grow and change so much, so quickly…I just bought a handful of different ones and put them in her drawer and let her figure it out. She was very resistant/embarassed about the whole thing but is coming around.

I ordered some Bluet but mis-judged the size so DD hasn't worn them yet. So far she has just a mix from Target and some sports bras from Hello Franki. I haven't invested much into them because I assume she'll grow out of them quickly!

My oldest was very resistant and hated wearing a bra, so I have like every kind, lol. I would start with something cheap and go up from there if you need to. I would look at Cat and Jack and Art Class at Target.

We started with cami's initially because she liked the way they felt, but once it started getting warm, a full second layer was a no go.

She has a combo of Cat & Jack and Art Class from Target. She likes the art class ones better at the moment becuse they have a touch of padding.

Bandeau she likes too: www.target.com/p/girls-39-strapless-bandeau-bra-cat-38-jack-8482-white/-/A-89980311?preselect=89390114#lnk=sametab

My 11yo's favorite are from Bleuet. I also like them because they last, are reversible, and don't create visible lines through her shirts.

I’ve seen these and they look amazing, especially for people with sensory issues. I kinda wish they made an adult version.

[nicolewi]

Those Bluet ones do look really cool! I just checked them out.

DD has major sensory issues and I think we tried all the options. She ended up liking the sports bras from Athleta Girl the best. After that she transitioned to the Smootheez bralettes from Aerie. The spaghetti strap ones from Target were too itchy for her. Yellowberry ones weren’t bad but got twisted easily and the straps fell easily.

DD has major sensory issues as well and has stuck with the Target ones linked above. We'll stick with them until they don't fit anymore. She's probably closer to a B cup now, but they're still providing support.

If anyone can link a similar bra for teens, that would be great. She still prefers very minimal, invisible support.

[charlatti]

lucybrown, I don’t know if these would be supportive enough, but the ones my kid likes are similar to this: www.target.com/p/women-s-seamless-bralette-auden/-/A-83661688?preselect=83361429#lnk=sametab They seem to have discontinued the exact ones she liked, but this is still a very smooth fabric.

My DD really likes these ones with the molded cups.  They are only A cup, but might be more supportive than the ones without cups (those are the kind we have from Target, not sure if the ones linked above are the same, I didn't look).

DD1, 10, likes Bleuet. I hate how expensive they are, but the quality is great, and she rejected similar styles from several other brands.

She has breast buds that make little bumps under her shirts, but really doesn’t need support yet. I imagine she’ll want molded cups when she grows a little more.

I have never heard of Bleuet but think it's hilarious because in Canadian French it means blueberry. Based on the brand's logo I'm thinking they went with the definition from France (it's a type of flower there) and either didn't know or are being very tongue in cheek lol.

I recently bought DD (8) bralettes from Joe Fresh. She doesn't need them but asked for them and I didn't want her to feel weird about asking me for stuff like that.

[charlatti]

loira, I feel like this probably is obvious to everyone else, but what am I missing? What’s tongue in cheek about it?
