First Bras for Girls
A girls' first bra is often more about confidence than support: something light to wear under a school shirt or PE top when she starts to feel self-conscious. First bras are usually simple shapes, closer to a short crop top than an adult bra, so there is nothing fiddly to get used to. Separate pages cover younger and older sizes.
Some families call it a training bra for girls, others a starter bra; they mean the same light first layer. The best first bra for girls is one she chooses herself, so let her pick styles and colours she likes. When you buy a girls' first bra, get a few so there is always a clean one in the drawer, and wash them in a laundry bag to help them keep their shape.

Your questions answered
MINOTI sells girls' first bras, soft starter and training bras for when a girl first needs one, usually between ages 8 and 13, in children's sizes measured by height in centimetres.
At what age do girls usually need a first bra?
Most girls start wearing one between 8 and 13, when breast buds appear or when she asks for one. There is no fixed age, so follow her lead rather than her friends' timetable.
How do I pick the right size first bra when ordering online?
Start with her height: an 11-year-old usually takes 152 cm. It should sit flat without digging in under the arms. Ordering a girls' first bra online also spares her an awkward fitting-room trip.
