Not sure if there is a similar thread about this or not.

I have come to realize that one of my almost 11 yr olds (twin girls) needs a bra. Having to get her her first bra is not an easy thing for me to do. It means she's growing up. We've already started the shaving of legs & arm pits. She is the one who asked for the bra.

My main problem/concern is: padded bras for little girls. Let them be little girls for as long as they can. I can totally see it in the juniors section, not in the "kids" section.When I went to see what they had (she wasn't with me), I saw that they had under wire, padded, triangle, and a FEW sports type bras. I don't know if its just me or what, I don't think little girls should be wearing padded bras. I told her that I want her to wear a sports bra style bra. After seeing one that I had. She said that was the kind she wanted. I just don't get it, why would you want your little girl to look older than she is and push her into being an "adult" before she is ready.

This might be more of vent than anything. I would like feed back from other mothers. Am I just being over protective and naive?
