When do girls start wearing bras?

Published in Breast Development 1 min read

The age at which girls start wearing bras varies widely, but it's generally when they begin to show signs of breast development, typically around eight to 13 years old. Some girls may start wearing training bras as early as eight years old, while others may not need them until 13 years old or later. Ultimately, it's important to let your daughter guide you and choose a bra when she feels ready.

Here are some additional insights from various sources:

  • Puberty can start as early as age 8 in girls, sometimes even earlier, and can last for several years.
  • There's no specific age that is universally considered "right" for wearing a training bra.
  • Some girls may begin to develop breast buds and show signs of breast development around 11 years old.
  • The key is to be sensitive to your daughter's needs and feelings, and let her decide when she's ready for a bra.
