When your daughter’s breasts start to develop, they may become hypersensitive and a source of embarrassment for her. Well-fittingyouth sports bras can go a long way to giving her the comfort, coverage, and confidence she needs to jump back into the game and participate in the sports and activities she loves.
Sports Bras Provide Dual Support for Your Daughter
The impact of sports bras on teen comfort cannot be overstated. For a growing girl to feel and perform her best while being active, whether that’s on a soccer field or in the backyard with friends, she needs to be able to concentrate on what she’s doing and not be distracted by how her chest feels or looks.
Physical Support
Sports bras minimize breast movement, so she is more comfortable during physical activity and throughout the day. The extra support also helps alleviate any back, neck, or shoulder pain she might feel while her breasts are developing.
Most sports bras are also made with moisture-wicking materials that keep your daughter cool and dry while helping prevent chafing.
Emotional Support
Sports bras are made with thicker fabric. This provides extra coverage of your daughter’s breasts, so she won’t have to worry about how she looks when out and about. When she feels more secure about her body, she will have more self-esteem and be more inclined to participate in sports and other physical activities.
Sometimes, a sports bra is a perfect option for a girl’s first bra. They are so comfortable and easy to wear that they can make the transition to wearing a bra feel more normal and easier to manage for a young girl.
Finding the Right Sports Bra
A study by the University of Portsmouth showed that up to 70% of women and girls wear the wrong bra size. An ill-fitting bra causes such discomfort that these women and girls scaled back on their sports activities. Youth Sports Nutrition also reported that research found many girls drop out of sports during puberty because they are embarrassed about their changing bodies. If you have an active daughter, you don’t want her bra to be the reason she abandons the activities she loves.
As her parent, your daughter will take cues from you about puberty. Even subtle body language impacts her interpretation of how you feel about the topic.
Ensure you have open and honest conversations with her without any embarrassment or hesitation. Have these conversations privately, in a space where she can feel comfortable expressing her feelings and asking questions. This will help normalize conversations about body changes and the bras she wears!
