Girls, please help me! Please..?!
Question: **Please do not report this question! i need help! please**
Ok, i wanna know how to ask my mom for a bra, i'm not the
"adventuring" type that goes and buys one alone. Plus, my
mom goes all "aw.. my little girl **blah blah**". So, it's pretty
tough.. I once tried by saying "mom.. the weather is really
warm now", "Should i buy short shirts that fit under an actual
shirt?" she said, ".." << nothing! and came back from the mall
with nothing! (cuz i asked for them when she was like "going
to the mall, want anything"). Oh, and i got my period two
months ago..
Thanx guys :)
Hala ??
p.s. please don't be mean :)

You could just try telling her your growing up and developing, and since you already have your period you need a bra. (edit this to suit your needs) Or, the next time you're at the mall, sidle into the bra section and say that you like the particular one you're holding up and can you help me find my size? If you really don't want to tell your mom, confide in an aunt, grandma, older sister, or cousin that understands what you're going through and will help you shop for one.
Just for your information, here's information for how to find your bra size so that when you go shopping you don't have to have a random store lady measuring you. Here goes:
Band Size Option 1~
1) Get a measuring tape.
2) Measure just below the breasts.
3) Even number? Add 4. This is the band size.
Odd number? Add 5. This is the band size.
Band Size Option 2~
1) Get a measuring tape.
2) Measure just above the breasts under your armpits. This is your band size.
Some women feel the second option is more accurate, and some feel the first one is. See what works for you.
Cup Size~
1) Get a measuring tape.
2) Measure around the fullest part of your breasts. Record that measurement.
Alright, now take the band size. Take the cup size. Subtract the band size from the cup size. Negative number? You have a cup size AA. 0 gives you an A. 1 inch would be a B, 2 inches a C, 3 inches a D, and so on through DD, E, F, FF, and G.
For example, if your band size came out as 30 and your cup size as 31, you would have a difference of 1, giving you a B cup. Your bra size, for example, would be 30B. (That's the size I wear)
P.S. I'm not trying to tell you to be rude to your mom, but tell her that you're growing up and that she needs to understand that growing girls have growing needs.
oh hun, just ask her! She wont kill u, and when ahe wanted a baby girl, this came with the package too! Good luck!
How I told my mom was i went into a bra shop and i said oooOo thats a nice bra isnt it mom nd she sed ye il get you one! Job Done!
just ask her, dont be afraid
just say something along the lines of "I already have my period and am developing and am becoming a young lady, and I believe I need a bra, will you come with me to the store to get one?"
hope i helped!
the best thing you can do id try to sit down w/ her and really talk about this. if u cant then who says you have to go shop for a bra w/ ur mom. u could consider going w/ an aunt, grandma or an older sister. someone that understands what you are going through.
Do you have a grandmother or aunt that can help you. Sounds like your mom isn't ready for her little girl to grow up but you need help. Wish I could take you shopping.
OK your mom is acting like your 5 and i hate when parents do that your gonna have to push her in doing it because shes behaving like a baby!
just tell her..
be like "mom i'm getting older and i really need a bra.."
i used to be afraid to tell my mom stuff like that too...
but then one day she told me "all of those things are like accomplishments....you're growing up and it's nothing to be ashamed about."
Talk to your mom.
I remember having this problem... I just went up to my mom and said mom... does this shirt look to REVEALING (emphasis on revealing)
i know someone who had the same problem . just say mom i want a bra. its easy and you will be soo releived when you get those words out! good luckk
Go to the mall with your mom, and then 'slip' into the bra section of a store and ask her wether she thinks you need one...or tell her you want one. In public she hopefully won't do that talk with the "aww...my little girl..."
That's how I convinced my mom.
Good Luck :)
ooooh God, i know EXACTLY what you mean--my mom is totally awkward like that too....
i suppose you just have to be like "MOM, I NEED A BRA!!"--that's what i eventually did, and after you get over the awkwardness it's all ok
or maybe just get one of your friends to come with you instead, so that way you dont have to tell your mom but you also dont have to go alone
Ask you friends and find out which of their mom was cool about it. Maybe you, your friend, and your friend's mom can go shopping. But if you want to buy one with your mom, tell her you need one but don't want her to make a big deal because it's embarassing!
it ok most girls are nervous there first time is there anyway you can go with a close friend nd you guys can go nd just be like its so normal nd then just do that nd if ur at the mall wit ur mom nd u pass them just go over to them and pick on up nd put it in the carriage but she might still be (oo muh lil girl blah blah) but just be like mom stop i hate wen u do that just put it right out there that you dont like wen she does that to you !!!!!
iight there you go nd GOOD LUCKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!
Well, it's probably hard for your mom to realize her little girl is growing up. But seeing as you have your period, you are definitely ready for a bra. Just talk to your mom one on one, or even email her or write her a note if you feel uncomfortable talking face to face. If she's still not cluing in, then get some friends and go to the mall. Do you have an older sister? You'll be fine! :)
say '' mom please don't comment or anything i need your help with something." she wud probally be like "what do you need help with?'' and u tell her u need a bra and if she doesn't kno bout u havin ur period u should tell her cause thats sorta a big thing
i think that since you have your period,then you should be wearing bras.my mom forced me to wear them in grade 6,when i had just about nothing,and i thank her becasue now i am used to wearing one,cuz now i have a lot more than nothing.
you should have a bra.
just ask your mom to NOT say "awww...my little girl" or u will say next time she buys pads or bra for herself"aww...my big girl.what a great job mom.u bought tampons!"
just make her realize that you wouldnt like it if she did that.
Lots of love,
xoxo kaity <3
if your mom wont buy you one, then do the next best thing.
if you have a best girl friend, talk to her about it and see what she did when she asked for a bra. maybe even talk to her mom about it.
Go ahead and ask her! Even if she'll say aww look at my little girl all grown up. I know when i first asked my mom she did the same thing, all moms are like that! She'll buy you one then, hun.
Just be brave, and ask for one. As your mother, she will understand, and remember, she went through the same thing you are going through. I was nervous too, but I lived and survived. Now, I'm perfectly fine.
Oh, just ask for one. She might go, "Aawww." But, just tell her that there is no reason for that, you're a growing girl and you need to be able to talk to her about these things without her making you feel like a baby. But, say it nicely and maturely without whining. If you talk to her like your grown-up, she will treat you like a grown up. I know it's going to be hard to bring it up at first, but you're going to have to eventually. So you might as well just get it over with. And it won't be nearly as bad as you think. Good luck.
sweetie I know how you feel. I bought my first bra when I was 12 and I hadn't even started my period but I DID need one. So I took my best friend with me and I got a bra. I don't ask my mom because if you feel you need a bra then take your best friend that you trust with you (or if you have an older sis maybe) but don't let anyone tell you that you're to young because you can get a bra when EVER you need it. There are no rules it's you're body!!! hope I helped
try not to be emmbaressed, we've all been there. Just ask her when she's on her own, tell her that its time you needed one. she's your mum and im sure she'll be expecting you to ask. she will think 'aw my little girl' cos thats exactly what you are in her eyes. Im 21 and im still seen as a litle girl but thats just parents for you. You dont say whether you told her about your period or not but pluck up the courage and do it all at once when the two of you are alone. She'll be totally understanding x
just ask her she will be happy to know her little girl is growing up
All mums have a hard time accepting their little girl is becoming a woman! Nevertheless, your mum has to understand that for modesty or practical reasons ( if your breasts are already well formed) you do need to wear a bra.
Try to tell her that it doesn't feel confortable anymore not wearing a bra. If she resists you could go to the lingerie department of your mall and ask for assistance. There are underwear lines designed especifically for young girls and a sales woman can help you find a style and fit that suits you. Do not feel ashamed! It's natural! It's normal. Sales ladies have a great deal of experience and will be all too happy to help you! Good luck!
There is nothing to be shy about, start with asking for bikini for this summer and the use the top as bra, at home see if she gets it. Otherwise just sit down and tell her to get you properly fitted at good lingery store for "bra".
Proper fit is very important so you must go with her and get few styles then note down all the info and then then buy them at any other place when they go on sale.
Im sorry. Im not that type eathier. You could just go all out and ask her to get you a bra when you and her are alone. Or when your at the mall with her you could point out a cute bra and say "mom thats such a cute bra could you get it for me?" or another idea is you just stand over at the bra and undies at victoria's secret or whatever and your m om will hopefully get the hint. good luck.
She should understand that you need a bra and should be willing to go with you to a store and get properly measured for one.
Alternatively, you could go with a friend to somewhere like M and S and get measured and get some advice. They measure you through a t shirt so don't worry about getting naked!
Good luck.
Don't worry. Just ask her that you need to buy a bra and maybe tell her that you're growing up now. i know how parents lecture you about lots of stuff. When i had my period i cried cuz i didn't know what to do so i just went up to my mum and told her. =]
