Tesco selling padded bras for SEVEN year olds.

I think sometimes stores stock potentially outrageous items to raise their profiles . Also the trend for first bras to have Mr Men characters on - what's that all about?

"Any woman who remembers that period will understand".

So we're all old frumps who know sweet FA and have forgotten what it's like to be young and developing... the marketing men know so much better than us.

Bunch of twats. I'd like to do them some commercial damage in retaliation for this...

I'd like to see some commercial damage too.
On what planet is this ok?

My first bra came out of an old-fashioned haberdashers (which is still there) in my local town. All very discreet and much nicer to buy it there than thrown in with tins of baked beans etc. Why can't children wear vests like they used to? They don't have to be frumpy ones.

Do you know, I was in tesco's today (hello btw www ), and was looking for pj's for DD. I vaguely recall seeing a padded plunge bra next to some 'shortie' style knickers in size age 7-8 yrs.

I know i did a double take but brushed it off as someone hanging something back up in the wrong place.......obviously not though.

i'm so glad I don't have girls, is it me or is a lot of girls clothes aimed to make them look older than they are. what's that all about?

my first bra was from M&S and was one of those soft sport type ones.

Appalling!

in my day,'training bras' were white cotton soft-cup things,not 'push them up and point them in the right direction' type things that i used to wear when i was 18+on the pull!

are they underwired?

How odd would seven year olds look walking round with breasts.

Trust Tesco to get it wrong. AGAIN! You wouldn't even want a training bra for a 7 year old, let alone one of these. I feel sad for the parents/perverts that buy one.

Why call it a training bra? I hate that phrase. All you do is pop whatever you've got in the cups and do it up. Hardly any training needed for that .

LOL at the concept of a training bra. I thought that meant a sports bra (that sort of training)

Wrong, on so many levels.

To be archived alongside the Woolworths 'Lolita' bed, I would hope.

It's really worrying why someone would buy one of these.

Kick me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen anywere that it says that it is for 7 year olds. All I have seen is that it is sold next to 7 year old vests.

Oooh VVV, yet again I see you on a thread I started

petetong, Tesco puts them next to 7 year old vests for a reason.

They deliberately market them to 7 year olds, while pretending that it's nuffink to do with them guv, if 7 year olds then think they're for them.

And then they tell us how socially responsible they are.

Ooh this has made me so cross, I feel like marching over right now to Tescos in my dressing gown (and rather fetching pink fluffy socks ) and having a word with the manager.

Time for a serious rant, along the lines of " have you met a 7 year old girl, do you know what they look like????"

I didn't need another reason to hate tescos

I loved the story aboutthe old lady puttingin planning application to demolish the head of tescos house after they had tried t demolish hers to expand

scroll down to an eye for an eye

Very clever.

A taste of their own medicine.

I read this story in the Daily Mail of all places and was shocked by it. However, I was happening to look for vests for my two year old and saw the bras in question in the same area. To be fair - and I agree with Pete Tong here - the underwear and pyjamas ranges itself go up to teens. They are labelled by size and not age.

The one I seen is for a 30A - there can't be too many 7 yo that size, surely?

www

I loved that story too beety. Brilliant.

Ignore it - Tesco do things like this to deliberately provoke discussion and outrage - I mean, who do you know who has ever brought one of those padded bras for a 7 year old.

oh god

whoever would buy one for their 7yr old???

Eruugh makes me feel sick
