Hi I'm 11 and today I tried 3 different web sites and I found out I was a size C bra! How do I tell myy mum?

[smoothy]

How can you be a size "C" and you mom not know already? I mean you can't hide that.

How do you go to your mom, you simply do... say.. Mom... I need to talk to you about something... and if it makes it easier you can talk to her alone... without your father being there or any of your brothers or sisters because there is nothing you can be going through that she hasn't already been through herself at some point.

Just do it... don't be afraid to do it. She will understand.

Atually I don't think I will take your advice because at the start you were a bit y! I think you should be syportive on this site.

I think you need to take another look at what I wrote again then.

I've been here for a lot of years... since 2005 to be exact. I know what this site is and isn't about. There was nothing wrong with what I said.

I want to know how you could manage to develop to a "C" cup without your mother knowing... that isn't exactly small or unnoticible by anyone much less a parent, that's an average size for most adult women in the USA, Canada, Australia or the UK.. And why hasn't she spoken with you about this yet? Or has she? Most mothers notice this long before you grow into an A cup.

And like I said... you tell your mother you want to talk with her about something in private... if you aren't already alone with her... and you talk to her about it if you are alone already. Its nothing to be embarrassed about.

smoothy is a great guy and a sweetheart, so please understand he was really doing a good job answering your question.

Like he said, if you are really a C cup, the entire world including your mom has to notice that. (How did you figure that out from the Internet?)

I'm a mom but have no daughters -- but would hope my daughters would be friendly and comfortable enough with me to come to me with things like this (if I didn't ask them first). This is one of your first tests with difficult communication. If you pass this test, communicating with others about personal stuff will get easier and easier. Just think about nurses and doctors and all the personal stuff they have to ask patients about. It's not always easy for them either, but they know it's all for the good.

If you knew my family, mum doesn't stare at my boobs. My under bust is 27ichnes
And my bust Is 30 inches

There are size calculators

No, she doesn't need to stare at them. If you are a C cup, they are very obvious. No staring is needed to see them.

How do those measurements make them a C cup?

[smoothy]

I was going to link a size calculator , but strangely enough many of them are being blocked at my office (probibly the best ones too).

But here is one that includes the proper way to do it... and yes its important to measure the correct way.

4 Ways to Measure Your Bra Size - wikiHow


And understand its not as easy as that sounds......most women don't know how to measure correctly or know from test fitting which is actually correct for them. And as a result wear the wrong size.

[ScottGem]

You are free to ignore any advice you want. But smoothy gave you good advice. You can't tell bra size over the Internet. You can get a guesstimate of what you might need, but it will not be accurate.

And I agree with him that if you were really a C it would be very noticeable. Unless you wear VERY oversize and loose tops it would be obvious. Even if large breasts run in your family, you don't jump from flat to C cup overnight.

The answer here is simple. You go to your mum and you tell her that your body is developing and ask when she can take you to shop for bras. Then you go with her and try on several to see what fits best.

I'm positive that a difference of 3" from just under your breasts to your breasts is not a C.
Sounds like an A. That's usually where we all start.

The cup size is not only the "height," but also the spread or roundness of the breasts. Methinks we want to grow up real fast.

Go to a store like victorias secret and get measured there. Then just straight up tell your mom. She's a woman and will understand

I'll say that as well... three inches is very little difference... and like many other things you find on the internet... that is very wrong, despite what some of these places say.

Bra Fit Guide & Calculator by Soma Intimates - Bra Fit Guide - Soma

Here is one that says with a 27" torso measurement and around the breasts of 33" which is a 5" difference you have a A cup....roughly. She has only 3" difference.

And THAT makes a lot more sense. It (that calculator) doesn't go that low so I'm guessing she might be a AAA or even an AA, which does make a lot more sense.

And as these other ladies know.....you have to try them on to get it right because there are differences from one brand to the next. And sometimes those differences aren't that insignificant.

Good advice, just in the wrong order. She's 11, she'll need to tell mom first, not only to get to the store, but to get someone that would fit her. She's a child, I'm pretty sure no one would fit her for a bra without a parent present.

Exactly in this day and age... most certainly. For many reasons.

Also does Victoria's Secret carry bras for teens?

The one in my area does. In fact, it's the perfect place for teens since most of their bras tend to be smaller cup sizes. But there are many other bra stores that the OP can go to. The most important thing, if she is a C cup (which I highly doubt) is to be fitted properly. It's a little less important when all you need is a training bra. Those you can fit yourself very easily.

[ScottGem]

Ok, I don't shop there very often ;) I just wondered since their line was more geared toward sexy lingerie. Not something I would want for a preteen.

Heya, I'm KelcG's mate, I think what she is trying to say is that she has got bras but they are only A's, she needs some bigger bras, her mum doesn't really talk to her about this stuff, so she's not sure how to approach her.
