Although puberty can be tough for both boys and girls, it can be a especially uncomfortable (and even a bit embarrassing) for little girls as breasts begin to develop. Some of the other physical changes are easy to hide but when a bra becomes a necessity, it’s obvious. While child rearing professionals all have varying opinions on when to buy a training bra, all agree that the process should include soft, comfortable styles with a bit of lining or a molded cup for both modesty and protection. The bras and bralettes featured below are underwire-free and all come with rave reviews by a wide range of parents. You can’t do much to make puberty easy but you can help them feel more comfortable throughout the process with the right undergarments.
