-
depends on how quickly they develope
-
If she needs it, no. There is no age requirement for it.
-
Not if you have already begun to develop.
-
Only if ahe needs one. But be carefull what kind you let her pick out. She may be developing, but she still needs to be dressing like a little girl.
-
A bra is for support. If there is something there that needs support then she's not too young. But, if the purpose of the bra is to be like a grown up then don't waste your money. The little darling will have to wear one of those things for many, many years - why start so young if there's nothing to support.
-
It depends on how much their chest is developed. Sometimes they have very small, flabby breasts at that age (it's more a fatty deposit than the firm part of the breast which develops later). There's nothing more embarrassing then jumping around and then realising that everyone can see your breasts wobbling through your top (at least, that's how it was for me, all those years ago). If that's the case, I wouldn't recommend a bra, just one of those sports type camisoles that flattens the breasts down so that she has a bit more control over their movement.

Um well I think that you have been feeding her too many steroids. My mother is always carfull not to give me chickens that have had steroids (even though now I am a vegitarian) but no I think that if you have boobs then you should have a bra so that you don't get nipplitus. But if it is a guy then ya he prabably shouldn't have a bra, but if he needs one then he should maybe consider eating healthy and getting exercise! :D
-
If she needs a bra, by all means get her one. I got my first bra by nine, and probably SHOULD have had it at eight. I think my mom was uncomfortable with it, since she didn't need one until 16. The times are a'changin. Get her a bra.
-
i was told when i was younger that if you can hold a pencil on top of your boobs, OR under your boobs - then you need a bra
-
if she thinks she is ready and is not scared to go look at a bra.
-
Not if she has boobies.
-
No age is too young if she has started to develop breasts
-
:D I'm 18 and have still never worn my first bra. Haha! Nah, I reckon a girl should start wearing a bra whenever she feels she has developed enough to wear one.
-
It really has to do with breast size. If she needs the support because she's an early bloomer, then age has nothing to do with it. I'm assuming we're talking about a normal boring training bra here. She's too young to have some sort of sexy lingerie bra though!
-
a sports bra is probably all she needs, and would want. i bet there are at least a few girls in her class that already wear them, and it's peer pressure/fitting in, of course. my first bras were sports bras, and worked fine. i didn't actually need a real bra until i was in about eighth grade! she probably wants to feel included, so you really don't need to go out and get a whole closet full of bras yet. the other girls won't be looking under her shirt, so i'm sure she'll be happy as long as she has something.
-
If the child has started to develop then by all means she will need one even if it is small.
-
I had to get my daughter a bra when she was 8 1/2, poor girl. and her "friend" started at 9.
-
I had to wear one in 2nd grade, if she's growing grow with her & go get her what she needs. Good luck.
-
It most certainly is. Why would you want to wear such an ugly and uncomfortable thing? I'm so glad I'm a 32A, because I don't even own a bra - and I'm 27.
-
Age has nothing to do with when you start wearing a bra. If the breasts are growing she needs a bra.
-
I knew a girl who was a c cup in the sexond grade. It was hard for her because boys would snap her bra
-
Not if they have something to fill it up with.
-
If she is developing, she is not too young. There are even starter bras, sports varieties and lined camis for the in between stages.
-
Well from personal experience i wore a bra when i was 9 but because my boobs werent that big my mum just bought me sport bras which i think is good size wise for a 9 year old, eventually when my boobs got bigger i wore a normal bra.
-
It depends how developed she is. When I was that age, no one wore bras unless they had to, which was very rare.
-
No, unless she doesnt need one. Age doesnt realy have much to do with bras thesedays
-
Its not just about her own development, but about the development of the girls in her class. Is she asking for a bra especially for school? You might find that some of the early developers have started a bit of a 'them and us' situation which makes her feel uncomfortable in PE lessons. Its sad to see a kid put those straps on too soon, knowing she'll be carting them around for the rest of her life, but a trainer bra or little crop top might make her feel 'properly dressed' if that's what's on her mind.
-
i started wearing a training bra when i was nine! mine started growing early! lol
-
nope. and there are training bras too
-
Not if she has breasts.
-
No, even a training top might make them feel better about themselves.
-
age doesn't matter, only her stage of development. if she needs one, let her wear one. it will be more comfortable for her because she can get support for her breasts.
-
It isn't a question of morality, but rather, necessity. If her boobs are getting big give her a bra damnit lol.
-
That's about the age most girls start needing a modesty bra.
-
No! I started wearing a bra when I was 9!
-
No nine isn't too young, if she is asking for one then she has probably noticed her body is begining to change or some of the other girls in her class have reached puberty. Now would be a good time to talk to her about the changes she is going through.
-
Not if she needs one. They feel uncomfortable when they start budding out.
-
If she needs one then she needs one
-
A bra isn't a coming of age thing, it's a necessary type of clothing for those with breasts.
-
It's not a matter of age, it's a matter of size. Some girls start developing early, but I doubt that at 9 she really needs breast support.
-
Not at all....I was wearin one at that age. By the time I was 13 I was a 36c
-
nine is not to young to weae a bra
-
I would say yes unless her breats is extrodinary large. My parents would let me wear a bra until I was 12 on a part times bases and fully time until I was 14 and after that it really up to us. All my sisters was treated the same way. My mom really didnt believe in them.
-
Not if she has a need for it. But if she hasn't grown to the point that she needs it, then she can wait a few more years. Why begin the torture sooner than she has to?
-
The way we have polluted our food and environment, breasts may appear even before age 9. and the breasts are what make a bra needful.
-
Fact from fiction, truth from diction. Really!?! She is that big at nine!?!? Call Guiness. I have yet to see any nine year old endowed that much as to need a bra, but it is more about society being uncomfortable with the braless do go ahead, weather she needs one or not. At 19 she will be forced (my bad, shamed) into wearing one if she needs to or not, so she might as well start to learn that lesson now.
-
Bless her heart -- nine is young to need a bra.
-
i got my first bra when i was 9. some girls just start growing really early. but there's no need for a real bra, just a training bra or a sports bra.
-
It depends on her cleveage.
-
that depends .
-
well if she is a c cup or bigger no she is not to young
-
Yes I dont care if she has started to develop.That is to young. I feel a good age is around 12 really 14.
