    It's different these days, rolls have changed. I had to buy my own training bra and everything personal growing up with money I had earned. My Mum never talked about or discussed at all.

    Fast forward to now, my brother is the SAHD while his wife works shifts. He takes his daughters to get pads, tampons and took her to get her first training bras just the other week. She has just turned 12.

    The younger of his girls wear the crop tops while his older have just started on the training bras, it could be a good bonding experience for you to make a day of it. Go out, get fitted for a training bra, lunch, movies and maybe even get your nails done together. The more you make it a normal part of growing up the easier it may be (hopefully) for your DD not too mortified by it all

    A training bra usually does up at the front rather than back are smaller in cup size than AA.

    Grade 6 I was wearing a training bra. My mum was very matter of a fact about it. I remember wearing a white t-shirt and my mum said you have to wear a bra because it was a little see through. I was still embarrassed and fairly sure nobody else was wearing bras plus the fact I went to a catholic school, that sort of thing wasnt really discussed.

    I love the idea of making a day of it. I'll have to keep that one in my memory bank
