Help, Bra Talk. How do I talk to my mom about this?

Okay, So right now I’m 16. When I was in like the 5th or something, my mom came to me with the average bra talk right? And she got me some sports bras. Well at the time I wasn’t ready, and I felt like she was forcing me into it. So I started wearing cami’s with those shelf thingies. But then I started becoming … more developed, and I started wearing the sports bras that she got me. But I didnt want her to know so I just didnt put them in the laundry, and they started smellin disgusting and stuff. So then I started dancing, and I got the guts to ask her for a sports bra for dance. So she buys me 1 sports bra. So now im wearin the same sports bra and I have to wash it like once a week, and stuff. And im really ready for a bra. So today at the store I did what most people do to ease into the conversation … As we walkd by the undies section I was like, o mom can a get a bra ? And she sighed, and took me over to the kidie section where most of the bras are sports bras or As. Well, I’ve tried on bras when I’ve gone out with my friends, just never bought any, and I know that I’m more like a B.haha. So I was like, just for the record mom I think those are a little small. Then she got even more upset and said that we shuld just go home… How do I talk to my mom about this ???

Answer #1

I would just buy abunch the next time you go out with your friends, then you dont have to deal with your mom and her sports bra thing.

Answer #2

at 16 she should accept that your growing up and developing broobs, which need to be supported for dance however a sports bra is best, you can get different prittier kinds at nice bra stores, which will help stop your boobs from bouncing around too much when dancing and then wera a normal bra for the rest of the time, which you can pick up at any bra store if she wont buy you them, then I think your old enough to walk in, grab a few, try them on to see which ones fit you, and then buy them yourself

Answer #3

Buy one with your friends.

Answer #4

well I don’t think that your mom should get mad at you for something like that… but I am at the age wear I have bras but I don’t go with my mom to get them because it is all akward and everything… I have bras… but I need new ones and I am scard to tell my mom… but my sister sed to me one night that I needed a bra and she kept all of her bras for the past year so that is won’t be akward to ask my mom… she I started wearing non-padded bras.. my mom reliezed and called my in to my kichen one night and tols me that we would go shopping for my own bras…so we went and got one… she already guessed my size.. she was right. and then like 2 days later she got me 4 more padded ones… I wear those now… we still go shopping but it is still akwad…I guess I didn’t really awnser the question but… l0l… I toold you a nice story… well good luck!.

Answer #5

you have to be serious when you ask and dont laugh -dont try to ease your way in,just come straight out and ask. -it will become less ackward once you start actually washing them and being open it. shes your MOM ,she should understand if she says no,make up an excuse that people are making fun of you.

hope I helped. :)

Answer #6

Obviously you have internet access. so, google bra measurements and then measure yourself with a measuring tape or a string if you dont have a tape that isnt a rollout version (@—, <looks like that). then if you are stuck with string, measure that on the tape, do the calculations(easy) and find your bra size. this way you can go to your mother and just tell her what you need.

Answer #7

first of all she should not be getting mad for something that lame and you are 2 years away from being an adult yourself. You know your mom better than anyone and if you feel like you cant go to her you should just buy one on your own and go to like a department store where they can measure you for a right fit. Your mom went through the same thing, so why doesnt she expect the same for you. If you want her to understand you should just sit down with her and straight up say Im almost an adult, Im growing and need your support. the first person a daughter should be able to go to is their mother. The mother is to be there for guidance and to lead by example.

Answer #8

she probably doesn’t want you to grow up! Just hint to her that they are really uncomfortable or too tight then sh might have to get you a new one ;D

Answer #9

Just go get measured by the people in the department… then you can tell her what size you are and that you need a couple of bras…

Answer #10

your mom is being really immature… she knew that someday you’d grow up lol just tell her you really do need to go shopping…

Answer #11

Just take a deep breath and say, “ Mom, I really need a bra. I know you are uncomfortable with me getting one but I need one.” I f you are the youngest or her only girl, you might want to add, “ I know that I am the youngest and you don’t want me to grow up but I am. I have. So please, can you just get me a bra?” If she really won’t let you buy one, go out with a Aunt or another trusted adult, or your friends.

Answer #12
