Tesco selling padded bras for SEVEN year olds.

The bit about the pole dancing set being removed from Toys and Games made me laugh.

I have 2 girls and the solution is not to buy the bra - my 12 year old still wears a vest.

However, there were girls at primary school with padded bras. I remember La Redoute selling thongs for 7 year olds - my kids wouldn't have worn them - in fact they wouldn't wear them now. Too uncomfortable.

Would anyone actually buy a bra for a 7 year old? I mean you actually have to have breasts to wear a bra, padded or otherwist. If it's intended for 7 year olds (ie with no breasts) then is is actually fake boobs? What I mean is - you have to have something to pad in teh first place other wise it's not really a bra is it, it's a pair of fake boobs with some straps

sick.

7 year olds don't need bras. They need to be running round getting muddy and being a child

FFS

Enough time to be 'that age' when they actually are that age, ir pubecent!

This is right up there with the 'pole dancing kit as toy' idea.

Fuckwits

dd is 11 and is in a crop top as she is 'aware' of budding breasts

shouldbeworking-as i said in my last post,there clearly must be some clueless parents who just buy stuff for their children without even thinking about it.dont assume that,just because you are intelligent and responsible,that every other parent who shops in tesco is the same.

Sorry Diva but I thought it had been said earlier in this thread that these bras are sold by size and not age. They wouldn't actually fit a 7 year old and I can't believe that even the thickest of parents would buy something that wouldn't fit no matter how much their dd wanted it. It is the papers that have pushed the 7 year old thing merely because they are displayed in the same section as underwear for up to age 15. I don't think Tesco get everything right (and I would be the first to critisise when they get it wrong) but I think it is a bit unreasonable to critisise them for selling bras for 7 year olds when they actually don't. Unless you have a very well developed 7 year old who would fit in 30" bra. It is the press that have said this not Tesco.

Oh hedgewitch you are very brave admitting you work for Tesco on here...Do you work at the new store in Shrewsbury?
I have never felt brave enough to do so. Posts like MaloryTowers's make me very reluctant to do so!!!!!I feel to admit I work there is like admitting I work for the devil !!!
BTW the store I work in doesn't even stock the offending item!

I'm in Stoke...we had some staff for training here too. Seemed a long way for them to come to me. Mind you I got sent to Northwich when I was training.

I've definately worked there too long...just been fitted for 3rd uniform change!!!!
