When It's Time for a Bra
There's no hard and fast rule on when to wear a bra. It's got everything to do with comfort. Some people like to wear a bra even if they don't need the extra support, simply to get used to. Others may need to get into a bra sooner because their breast tissue is budding quicker. Whatever the scenario, here's an easy checklist when making the decision.
✅ Breast Buds Are Here
If you notice breast buds, it's possibly bra- time! Now is a good time to measure yourself and check if you fall into any of the BRABAR cup sizes .
