Teen Sports Bras

Teenager's bodies grow and change rapidly, which is why it is especially important to find the proper teen sports bras.

Though at any age, breast tissue is extremely delicate, it is especially delicate during the teen years because of how quickly the tissue grows and changes. When performing high impact or strenuous physical activity without the proper sports bra, the breast tissue can quickly become damaged, not to mention, extremely sore. Now, what about finding the proper fit for a sports bra for your teenager?

The first thing you may want to keep in mind when shopping for teen sports bras is the fact that their bodies are changing. You may just want to stick to buying one or two of the same size. You never know how your daughter's body is going to change from volleyball season to track season. If you buy too many sports bras of the same size, you may find that she no longer fits into them by the end of the season. Here are a few things to keep in mind when searching for the perfect fitting sports bra for your teenage daughter:

• Sports bra sizes differ – Instead of having a band and cup size, most sports bras come in either small, medium or large. Here's a good quick reference:
  • A cups to small B's – Shoot for the small sports bra.
  • Medium and full B's to small C's – A medium should fit just fine.
  • Full C's to small D's – Large sized sports bras should offer plenty of support.

Remember, those are just guidelines while shopping for a sports bra for your teenager. Here are a few other things to keep in mind:

• Manufacturer – Much to every woman's disdain, each manufacturer's bra fits differently, it seems. Make sure your teen tries on her sports bra's before you purchase them.
• Body size and type – Bodies come in all shapes and sizes. That's why it is so important for your teenage girl to try on each sports bra before you buy it.

Finally, remember that these bras are supposed to compress the breasts to hold them in place, so if this is your first teen sports bra shopping experience, be sure to let her know it's going to feel tighter than her other bras.

Now that you've got some basic shopping guidelines for teenager sports bras, here are a few places online in which you can browse different styles and designs.

Here are a few places online to check out sports bras to suit your teen's body and level of physical activity:

• Maidenform – This brand is a mainstay in the bra industry. Many Maidenform bras are sold in local department stores around the country as well. So if your teen sees something she likes on the website, you should be able to go out and buy it if you should choose not to order it online.
• Champion - This company makes some of the best and most comfortable sports bras in the business. They also have a wide variety of sports bras including:
  • Racerback
  • T-back
  • Front closure

• Jockey – Jockey makes it easy to shop for the right sports bra for your teen by separating them into levels of activity ranging from low (yoga, walking), medium (biking, aerobics) and high (running, tennis).

One last thing you want to keep in mind when purchasing a sports bra or two for your teenage daughter is that the fabric allows her skin to breathe. This is especially important for teenagers since their skin is so prone to acne breakouts. Cotton is generally best, but many sports bra manufacturers offer sports bras made of specially constructed materials designed specifically to wick moisture away from the skin.
