FAQ
What is a first bra?
A first bra is designed for girls in the early stages of development who are ready for more coverage and gentle support than a basic crop top.
Sassh first bras are soft, wire-free and designed specifically for growing girls, making the transition from crop tops to bras feel comfortable, easy and age-appropriate.
What is the difference between a first bra and a training bra?
The terms first bra and training bra are often used to describe the same stage. Both are designed for girls who are beginning to develop and want a little more coverage and support without the structure of an adult bra.
At Sassh, our Essential First Bra is a soft, seamless training bra designed especially for this in-between stage.
When should a girl start wearing her first bra?
There is no right age for a girl to start wearing her first bra because every girl develops differently.
She may be ready when she begins developing breasts, her usual crop tops no longer provide enough coverage, she feels more comfortable with extra support under clothing, or she simply starts asking for a bra.
Sassh first bras are designed for growing girls aged approximately 8–14.
How do I know when she is ready to move on from crop tops?
A crop top may have been all she needed when she was younger, but as her body develops she may start wanting more coverage, support or a more secure fit.
If her crop tops are becoming uncomfortable, moving around during the day or no longer giving her enough coverage under school uniforms and T-shirts, it may be time to try a first bra.
What should I look for in a first bra for girls?
A good first bra should feel soft and comfortable while providing gentle support and enough coverage for her changing body.
Look for breathable fabric, a flexible underband, adjustable straps and a wire-free design that moves with her. Removable padding can also be helpful, allowing her to choose the amount of coverage that feels comfortable.
The most important thing is that her first bra feels like it was designed for her stage of development, not like a smaller version of an adult bra.
Should a first bra have padding?
It doesn't have to. Some girls prefer a little padding for extra coverage and modesty, particularly under school uniforms and fitted clothing, while others prefer to wear their bra without it.
That's why the Essential First Bra includes light, removable padding, giving her the choice to wear it in whatever way feels most comfortable.
How many first bras does she need?
For everyday wear, having around three first bras is a practical place to start; one to wear, one ready for tomorrow and one in the wash.
If she wears a bra every day for school, you may find that having a few more makes the weekly laundry routine easier.
How do I choose the right first bra size?
Start by measuring around her ribcage directly underneath the bust. This underbust measurement will help you find the best starting size.
Sassh first bras use flexible sizing designed for growing bodies. If she falls between two sizes, we generally recommend choosing the larger size for comfort.
See our Girls' Bra Size Guide for simple measuring instructions and the full size chart.
Can she wear her first bra to school and PE?
Yes. The Essential First Bra is designed for school, everyday wear and light activity. Its soft, seamless construction sits smoothly underneath school uniforms and T-shirts, while the breathable fabric helps keep her comfortable throughout the day.
For running, netball, cheer, training and other higher-movement activities, we recommend moving to one of our Girls' Sports Bras for additional support.
What if her first bra doesn't fit?
Finding the right first-bra fit can take a little trial and error, especially while she's growing.
SASSH offers free size exchanges within 30 days for Australian customers on eligible unworn and unwashed items, so you can find the size that feels right for her.
