Where do people buy underwear for young teenagers, apart from M&S or Primark?

I am just really surprised that you buy your 14 yr old underwear
Oh this old Lin " I'm really surprised that you do/ buy whatever for your child! It's become a cliche!
Why are people surprised that other parents do things for their kids!

Here's one, I still buy my lads undies and socks and they are 19 and 23. No big deal, when I'm in Mark's or Next shopping for myself I just through a few packets of things in the trolley for them.
I don't get all the faux shock. It boring bollocks!

My dd (just turned 14 recently) has only bought herself pants once, when she was on a residential trip in a city last year. We live in a remote, rural area, and she is not at all streetwise. She would have to be in the city or nearest large town alone to buy her own underwear and that hasn’t happened yet. She has been clothes shopping with a friend while we shopped elsewhere, but she wasn’t interested in looking for bras or knickers ! Dd wants me with her when trying on bras, and we tend to choose pants together, or I buy her ones online that I know she will like. Other clothes I either buy a selection online and she chooses from that, or I take her shopping when we are in a city and she chooses what she wants to try on.
My Mum bought all my underwear at 14 , I don’t think it is odd, 14 is still pretty young.

Really? As my DD doesn't have a job, or money to buy stuff, I find I usually buy everything for her, we tend to go shopping together, she is only 14, not 18 Hmm

I am just really surprised that you buy your 14 yr old underwear. Why doesn't she buy her own. Having had 4 daughters I can't imagine any of them being amused by me buying their smalls at 14. What does she have to say on the subject. ?

Don’t forget to measure your DDs using the bra invention method. They’re very unlikely to be 30a and the like I think my DD was a 28D.

The Angel range doesn't go to a big enough cup size in the unwired bras

My daughters like Pants with an elastic waist band such as from Victoria Secret or Penguin from TKmaxx. We also have a few seam free black pairs from M&S.
Bras should be wireless while breasts are growing. We get these from M&S angel range.

Boux Avenue start at a 28A f that’s any good.

My DD is quite curvy for her age.
We found that Boux Ave has unwired bras. Lounge bras seem to be a thing and don’t have wires. I think we went up a size and down a cup size. Also found a brand called something like Rose Royce (sold on ebay) which does nice simple teen bras.

Sorry OP i know this isn’t in answer to your original question.

Mine and various overseas students we’ve hosted were always very happy with H&M. Quality as good as M&S for about half the cost.

It's still something that should be asked about before posting though how would your daughters feel if they knew their bra sizes were being shared about the internet anon or not i know mine would be furious

It's not about the anonymity aspect it's the fact that so many of these threads are started by fap trolls. No offence to OP.

M&S Angel range are quite good with soft bras/wires so more comfy.
DD loves the Hollister bra lets though not as supportive but very pretty

I'm shocked at the sheer number of people sharing their children's breast sizes on here. I guarantee none of you have asked for you child's consent. I'm honestly as a parent disappointed in all of you 😡

You do realise this is an anonymous forum?

Hmm
