And to help you navigate these uncharted waters, I consulted a couple of true experts — my two bra-sporting daughters, ages 17 and 15 — for advice for parents and teens and preteens looking to navigate the bra years as smoothly as possible. (Apparently, I didn't do too badly, so, yay! One less dollar in the therapy jar.)
There are no rules saying anybody's got to wear a bra. If you get the sense your child isn't ready to talk bras, that's okay. It's a lifetime commitment for a lot of us — who wants to dive in early? Now, if you're the one freaking out that your kid needs to start wearing a bra — meanwhile your kid is totally chill going bra-less — then guess what? As the kids say, sounds like this is a you problem. So be patient. The time will come.
Normalizing it, as much as possible, is my very best mama bra advice.
As new bra wearers, my girls were kind of uncomfortable with their 'pointy' new boobs. Ms. 17 texted me, 'I remember [before we were ready for bras] you'd tell us we should wear stripes, because they minimize pointiness.' It's true: my art degree finally came in handy. Stripes and busy prints and cozy cardigans and cool vests can go a long way to minimize the 3D effect.
Ms. 17 says there was also this: 'The incident of u trying on my bra and scarring us for life.' Okay, fine, I have blocked that one out. That being said, do what works for you and your girls, and don't be afraid to laugh. Boobs are funny, dude.
Ms. 15 says to tell your kid: 'Do it on your own timeline. It's not something that needs to be rushed. It might not seem like a big deal, the switch from baby bras to sports bras to real bras, but it is — and it's your deal, no one else's.'
Ms. 17 continues, 'Also don't be afraid to literally do the most comfy thing. Wear only cute loose sports bras if you want! Wear men's underwear like me! Explore brands — like TomboyX underwear — that cater to people who wanna be comfy.'
The only 'should' for your kid's first bra? Help her find something truly comfortable that makes her feel good inside and out. Here are 16 teen bra brands and styles as a rock-solid starting point.

Lululemon's bras are perfect for teens just begging to wear one. Each is crafted with the brand's buttery soft fabrics that are cool and breathable against the skin. Plus, they come in the best colors. Experts recommend the Bend This Scoop and Square Bra.
According to Anh Nguyen, a founder of 365Crocs and a fashion expert, The Lululemon Bend This Scoop and Square Bra is a game-changer. She praises its fabric's breathability and moisture-wicking properties, ensuring comfort even during extended periods of wear. Its incredible softness and lightweight feel provide a 'naked sensation' that is perfect for all-day wear and low-impact activities like yoga or pilates. This is a great option if your teen is active and needs a comfortable bra that supports her — without *feeling* like a bra. It's technically a sports bra, but in our opinion, it makes for a great beginner bra option thanks to its high-quality material and light support. It's perfect for everyday wear.
Pros: True to sizeNo clasps for a seamless fitUltra-stretchyBreathable
Cons: Very light support, not for those who need extra coverage (like intensive sports — we'd recommend a more heavy duty sports bra for this)

'My 9-year-old daughter loved them so much she would never change her bras for weeks!' Ok, we're going to hope there were washes in between, but you get the drift.

Target keeps it real. They use a range of lingerie and swimsuit models that look like, well, people. And we are so here for it: Cellulite. Scars. Gorgeous, natural, muffin-topped beauty instead of Photoshopped pics of impossibly pouty, tiny models. Let your babies see those images as they shop for bras online. Target also has everything from strapless convertibles to seamless and wireless ones for those with sensory issues. Their in-house brand Cat & Jack makes a bunch of popular ones, like this T-shirt bra that comes in nude, white, or gray. 'Out of all the bras my daughter has tried this is the one she loves the best. It fits just right and the molded cups help create a smooth seamless appearance. No removable pads to worry about.'

Bleuet is supporting young girls in more ways than one. Sure, they have super soft and versatile bras. This bra is reversible for indecisive tweens! But they are also supporting young entrepreneurs by investing in tweens and teens who have started their own nonprofits. For instance, they work with Hailey O'Donnell, a teen who started Hailey's Haven, an organization that gives bookbags filled with essentials to teens entering foster care. And guess what, if you need to make a Bleuet return, lightly worn products get added to a Hailey's Haven bag instead of a landfill.

We adore TomboyX, which has this tagline: 'Comfortable underwear that fits your body and how you see yourself. Fit-tested on hundreds of bodies, size XS-4X. Be exactly who you were born to be — no apologies.' I can vouch for their products, which wash like a dream — including pesky period stains on underpants. This company is particularly fantastic for gender-fluid and trans kids. PSA: Bralettes like this one are fab for those who want to feel pretty but don't necessarily have a lot of breast tissue/definition.
Pros: Ethically produced OEKO-TEX-certified cottonWirelessNo padding (if that's your teen's preference)

Sooner or later they'll need (or want!) a strapless bra. I mean, homecoming dresses or prom could call for one. And while the DJ plays Rihanna's music (hopefully 'Pon De Replay!'), your teen will feel secure wearing a convertible bra from RiRi's brand, Savage X Fenty. We will never say no to a brand that 'embodies fearlessness, confidence, and inclusivity… [with an] extensive assortment of styles made for everyBODY, and unique approach that celebrates individuality.'

11 Practical Father's Day Gifts
Father's Day is nigh, so it's time for the annual late spring PSA: Dads are notoriously hard to shop for. Maybe it's the constant refrain of 'don't worry about me, I don't need anything.' Maybe you don't want to watch another present you thought long and hard about makes its way into the dusty graveyard of unused gifts. Or maybe his cupboard simply cannot fit another version of the requisite 'World's Greatest Dad' mug. Whatever the reason, it can pretty much knock the wind out of your gift-giving don't worry, all hope is not lost — there are a few things to buy for Dad that he'll actually use. And rather than spend the countdown to Father's Day agonizing over how to prove this statement true, you can just peruse our our list below, you'll find giftable versions of practical, downright necessary items, at least one of which your father won't be able to turn down. Even better: you can get all of them quickly and easily, because they all come from Target. So read on, and give yourself one less thing to worry about between now and Sunday, June 15.

Price: $319.99 If he's a suit-and-tie guy Dads with dressier wardrobes may not need a new gym bag, but they're bound to appreciate a good garment bag or (if they already have one) two. This 5-stars-only option from Target's Open Story private label has a large main compartment, two smaller zippered pockets for smaller items, and built-in luggage strap. Price: $24.99 If he's a music man For dads who love music, this all-in-one sound system will definitely see some action. In addition to the three-speed turntable and bookshelf speakers, it also has bluetooth connectivity that'll let him stream music from any compatible device, and manual outputs that connect to existing stereo $139.99 If he likes a close shave Upgrade Dad's shaving game with this dermatologist-tested shaving kit. It comes with a safety razor, beard-lifting shaving brush, replacement blades, pre-shave oil, shaving cream, and a post-shave balm. The combination of a quality equipment and moisturizing, non-comedogenic ingredients promises to prevent razor bumps, reduce skin irritation, and, when used regularly, make skin softer and smoother overall.
