Tell Your Mom That You Don't Need a Bra

Sometimes your mother believes that it's time for you to start wearing a bra, but you aren't ready for one yet, or you simply just don't want one. Although it can be tricky to let your mom know how you feel, it can be done.

Steps

  1. Pick a good time to talk. Pick a time when your mom isn't busy, angry, upset, or ready to leave the house. Ask your mom if she has a moment to talk to you. Sit down in the kitchen or on the living room couch.
  2. Tell her why you don't want to wear a bra. You have to make your mother understand it from your point of view - maybe you find them uncomfortable, maybe you find them embarrassing or weird. Tell your mother this and let her know how you feel. Sometimes your mother doesn't even realize that you don't want to wear a bra.
  3. Tell your mom that you don't want to grow up too fast. A mother's worst fear is having her daughter grow up too fast.
  4. Tell her that you want to be unique. Let her know that even if everyone in your school is wearing one, you want to be an individual and go without a bra.
  5. Get your family on your side. If you feel comfortable talking to your dad, older sister or brother, or other family members about bras, ask them to talk to your mom about forcing you to not wear a bra. Hopefully, they'll get her to see it your way.

Tips

  • If your mom ends up buying you a bra, consider making a deal with her - you'll start wearing it in a few months once you're ready.
  • Don't tell your friends that your mom is forcing you into a bra.
  • Compromise. Many people begin to wear training bras because their nipples have grown and are more visible through clothing. If this is the case, agree to wear a thick tank top, camisoles or vest under your t-shirt for more coverage. You might also agree to wear a bra to formal occasions or school if you can go without at home or when you're doing sports.
  • Don't be upset when she doesn't let you stop wearing the bra. Act cool. Don't be embarrassed about your body!

Warnings

  • Your breasts may sag if unsupported, but women have gone bra free for thousands of years. Breasts don't need a bra. We wear bras for support, for modesty, and for ease of movement.
