One of the most exciting yet challenging moments for parents or guardians is when your tween or teen is ready for their first training bra. But what are training bras, and what exactly do they do? Training bras, or first bras for girls, provide comfort and support for a girl's developing breasts. Training bras also help girls feel more confident and comfortable in their skin, especially when wearing tight-fitting clothes or participating in physical activities.
There are many types of training bra styles made of different materials. However, the best ones are soft, breathable natural fabrics like ThirdLove's. The following are some of our delightful selections.
Our Organic Reversible Teen Tank Bra is made from super soft organic fabric. It offers gentle support while allowing the skin to breathe, making it perfect for everyday wear. Plus, the teens can feel easy with its reversible option because sometimes a girl needs options.
Our reversible Teen Racerback bra is an excellent choice for sporty and active teens or those who desire a racerback style. It is made with performance moisture-wicking fabric to keep the skin cool and dry.
For a touch of whimsy and comfort, the reversible teen soft Bralette is a delightful addition to any young lady's wardrobe. It has been called the best first bra ever for a good reason.
Besides the above listed, ThirdLove also offers a variety of other styles, including lightly padded bras for a hint of shaping, unlined options for a natural feel, seamless bras that disappear under clothes, and sports bras for active days. These styles offer bras for teenagers that suit their needs and preferences. Whether it’s the subtle shaping and coverage that comes with the lightly padded options or the breathability from our unlined bras, we have a teen bra for your daily needs.
Why not try our seamless styles? They eliminate visible lines, making them ideal for fitted tops. Our sports bras are equally great for tweens and teens, offering additional compression, essential for physical education classes, sports practice, or active lifestyles.
With our color and pattern selection, wearing training bras feels like a fashion choice rather than a necessity. Options range from classic neutrals like nude, white, and black to playful prints and patterns. Subtle details like contrast stitching and delicate overlays add age-appropriate style without being overly decorative. Whether your tween is into understated elegance or fun, youthful designs, there is a style to match.
Each of our training bras is thoughtfully designed to balance youthful style with comfort and practicality. These age-appropriate designs ensure a smooth transition to wearing bras, focusing on both confidence and ease of wearing.
A well-fitted training bra should be snug. The band should comfortably fit around your body, feeling snug but not too tight.
If the straps are digging into the skin or the fabric is flipping up at the bottom, the bra size is too small. The bra is too big if the straps are too loose or the fabric is gaping at the sides.
It is of essence to follow care routines to ensure that your training bras last longer while maintaining the softness and quality of the fabric. Always follow the care label instructions. Hand washing with a gentle detergent using cool water is always recommended. But let’s be honest, we don’t always have the time, so if you do use the washing machine, put the teen bras in a lingerie bag and wash on the delicate cycle with cold water. Avoid harsh soaps or bleach, which can break down the elastics and soft fabrics.
After washing, the bras flat to dry. Avoid wringing or twisting the bra to remove water, as this can damage the shape and elasticity. Instead, gently press out excess water. Avoid direct sunlight or heat from dryers, which can deteriorate the fabric and elastic components. Finally, give each bra a rest between wears to help maintain proper fit and support.
ThirdLove’s commitment to inclusive sizing and thoughtful design makes our training bras ideal for young people beginning their bra-wearing journey. Our development process includes extensive feedback, ensuring designs address actual needs and concerns. The result is a collection of training bras that balance comfort, function, and age-appropriate style.

With thoughtful features like reversible designs and moisture-wicking fabrics, we ensure every tween and teen feels confident and supported. ThirdLove’s size range accommodates various body types and development stages, ensuring a proper fit throughout the transition.
