bras for young girls

[Lindoug]

I was browsing in BHS Truro this afternoon and was appalled to see that they have padded bras on sale in their Tammy range. The smallest one would fit a seven year old. I was so incensed that I have written to the Commercial Director at BHS to complain about these items being on sale. His name is Darren Topp, BHS Head Office, Marylebone House, 129-137 Marylebone Road, London NW1 5QD, if anyone else would like to complain. With the current climate of sexualising young girls, I think it is highly inappropriate for these bras to be on sale. Am I being too cautious?

define padded? T-shirt padded bras can be really comforting to young girls as you get no nippleage with them. I work with teenagers and they are a life saver

Padded is NOT the same as push up - it just covers them up a bit - lets face it school short are made of quiet thin material

dd1 is 8 and begging to get little boobs - I do know of some girls her age who need bras (well 9 ish)

30AA was my first bra aged about 11.

It is quite reasonable for a girl to be in a bra once she has any breast development, if that is what she wants.

And agree re the padding - means the actual breast and nipple remain well covered.

'Age 7' is the last thing a small teen would on her bra -28AA would be better
