Answer 1

Hi!

It might seem embarrassing, but, your mum has been through it all!

Just start up a conversation about growing up or something and just say "Mum, I think I need a bra." She will be supportive. She will understand that you are growing up now and that you are going through puberty.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

I know it's gonna be tough. Maybe you can start with talk to her about the change you see on your female classmates' outfits, or declare to her that some of your girl friends told you that they got their first "smaller gilet", otherwise, tell her about the physical classes, there must be a sort of educational program includes physical changes in your school, have you taken it? I was a way shy too. What I did was just brought someone else's words to make people understand the situation.

Answer 3

when your shopping for school clothes or your in a target or something go to the bra section and say "mom i think its time for me to get a bra"......or somthing like that lol

Answer 4

She probably already knows and is waiting for you to say something.  Just say it.  It's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Answer 5

my sis(best friend ever) asked me the same thing once hehe and i just showed her how it's done from an example first hand

i went to my mom and said "Moooom my p***s and balls are grew alot and i need bigger underwear!I'm not a frikin kid! (i was 13)" and then she went to her mom and said "Mooooom my **** are growing i need a frikin bra i'm not a kid!" xD well that worked great :)

Answer 6

It's nothing to be embarrassed about...even my 6 year old wears undershirts because her nipples show through some of her shirts.  I do remember being embarrassed about needing a bra when I was younger, and I know it was because my mom acted like I shouldn't be developing yet.

If you can't say the word bra, tell her that you need some undershirts or tank tops to wear under your shirts...and she'll look at you and say, "Well, you're probably the right age to start wearing bras..." problem solved without you having to say the dreaded b-word.



In the meantime until you get the situation handled, you can put bandaids over them so they don't show through your shirts...I was always too big to do that but I've known other girls who it worked really well for.

Answer 7

I think the words "training bra" might help her into the transition that her little girl is growing up. =)

Answer 8

Walking around topless would probably get her to notice

Answer 9

How old are you? Maybe just ask her for some money to go clothes shopping and go to the mall with a close friend and buy one on your own. It's hard to suggest what to do because we don't really know about your relationship with your mom...

Answer 10

Ahh to be 27 again.

Answer 11

you say, "mum, i need a bra"

Answer 12

Write her a note.  Explain that your feeling embarrased and are hoping nobody else notices.  For now, you can go to walmart in the bra section and they have stick on "Nifty Nips" that hold your nipple down when not wearing a bra.  That is what celebs do.

Answer 13

You need to get used to asking akward question to your parents. There will be MANY more to come i am sure, and they will be a lot more wierd than this one. Your mom will probably laugh and give you a huge hug, and she wont make you feel bad or akward about it. Its totally normal for you to ask her this. Dont stress, trust me :)

Answer 14

just say: mum, can i ask you something please?

and then tell her: "I think I really need a bra...could we go shopping for one the next time you're free? I can sort of see my nipples showing out of my clothes now."

if u just tell her she'll understand...she needed her first bra once, too.

Answer 15

Write a note and place it somewhere where she will only see it.  Sometimes, you just have to push past shyness though.

Answer 16

Just tell here you are growing young lady and you need a bra..

Answer 17

you could leave her a note on her dresser or anyother place she'll find it.

good luck.

:]

Answer 18

I had the same problem!!! When I needed my first bra I just asked her. You really need to break the shyness :/. She's your mom she'll understand honey :) She went through the same thing with her mom and your daughter (if you have one) will go through the same thing with you. Just say umm hey mom? Can we go shopping today... in the loungerey (or however you spell it) department today? She'll take the hint and most likely take you right away. But my best advice is to break the shyness because otherwise you're gonna have a really hard time when you start needing tampons...

Good luck! :)

Answer 19

Hi,

You need to confront her and tell her. She has been through it just like you and she knows what it feels like and how embarrassing it is.

I am sure she will be happy to help you. Maybe practice with some friends or something?

Just build your confidence - and don't worry! she will understand!

Answer 20

hahahahha lol dnt wozz umm jst wear singletss or sumthing around the house and give yahhh mum a bigggg hugg and shell be bound to find out!!! or u can jat say mum i need a bra?!

heyyy gud luck

Answer 21

well, just talk to her one on one. and tell her that you think you should start wearing bras. if she disagrees, go buy a bra yourself. and if she agrees that terriffic. thats what mothers are for.. going to them about girl stuff.. and good luck :) hope this helps you,

Answer 22

Maybe leaving a note somewhere where she'll find it?

Otherwise you may just want to brave it and tell her-you'll probably have to go bra shopping with her anyway. Or if you truly feel uncomfortable with it, try to find an opportunity to go shopping without her. If you can get to a mall/store, there's technically no reason why she has to know.

Good luck!

Answer 23

I had to do this as well i was scared of going up to her and saying something. i did this:

when i went shopping with my mum i went into a shop which sold bra's as well as clothes, i told my mum that one of my friends has started to get bra's and that I'd like one. because my mum thought that if my friend has one i should have one too !! :)

it was much easier to tell her!

If this doesn't work and you can't bring yourself to say it then just write her a note for the morning when your asleep and she can't bother you. just saying ' hi mum i was just wondering if i was aloud a bra because i really feel like i need one'

She will understand and then when she gets home from work or whatever then you can talk about it and decide to go and buy one. :)

Hope this helps and good luck!

Answer 24

Maybe ask her to go shopping and edge towards the bra section or drop into conversation how other girls your age are getting bras. She is your mum though, and as a woman she'll know exactly how you feel and is probobly waiting for you to ask her.

good luck

Answer 27

Tell her you can see your nipples through your clothes and that it embarrases u and u need to get a bra.

you must get used to talking with her about these things.

trust me... there are far worse things you must talk to her about.

Answer 28

say .. "mom, I am maturing into a beautiful young lady ... and everyone know young lady's have b***s ... I'm getting older, get me a bra pronto because walking around with my nipples showing is extremely embarassing!"
