Choosing Bras

What Experts Say
Shopping for bras with your teen can be a girly gigglefest -- or a stressful battlefield. To make it the former, focus on getting a good, comfortable fit and making sure you honor your teen's feelings about color and style, advises Judith E. Craig, author of You're Grounded Till You're Thirty! What Works and What Doesn't in Parenting Today's Teens. After all, it's your daughter, not you, who has to be seen in her bra in locker rooms and at slumber parties.
Most important, though, be sure to allow plenty of time to try on different sizes and styles, since bra fitting -- as we all know -- is a very individual matter.

"As for sexy stuff, that's a tough call. As much as we want to believe our teens are not sexually active, chances are they are experimenting -- or at least see all the advertisements for sexy bras and want one too. Perhaps bra shopping can lead to an open conversation about sexuality. Try to keep it low key, though, and remember, shopping for a bra may not be your teen's favorite activity."
I know the feeling, my 17-year old just told me that she wants to go to Victoria Secret for her next bra. While I am not very happy about it, I will take her and pick out a couple. At least she felt good enough to come and talk to me about it.
