This is completely normal! Many young girls feel hesitant about coming in for a fitting. One idea is to invite her to come in for a sports bra fitting. Sports bras can feel more practical and less intimidating, and it’s a great way to ease into the experience without the pressure of more traditional bras. You can also suggest making it a fun, low-pressure outing, where she can try on a few styles and see what feels best. Our expert fitters are understanding and experienced with helping young girls feel comfortable and confident, and we’re here to guide you both through the process.
Here are a few more ideas to help encourage your daughter to come in for a fitting:
- Make it a bonding experience: Frame the fitting as a fun, bonding activity. You could make it a special outing, perhaps followed by a treat or something she enjoys doing, to take the pressure off.
- Provide reassurance: Emphasize that the fitting will be a private and comfortable experience. Assure her that the fitters are professionals who are used to helping young girls feel at ease.
- Offer a reward: Sometimes a small reward after the fitting, like choosing a cute bra or another small item, can motivate her to go through with it.
Talk about comfort: Highlight how a properly fitted bra can help with comfort and support, especially if she's into sports or activities. Focus on the benefits of feeling better throughout her day.
Involve her in the selection: If she’s hesitant about the experience, give her some control over the process. Let her help pick out the styles or colors she likes from a selection you can browse online or in-store.
Give her a heads-up about the experience: Sometimes fear comes from the unknown. Talk her through the fitting process, so she knows what to expect. Let her know it will be a supportive and respectful environment.
These approaches can make the experience feel more approachable and less daunting, helping her to feel more in control and confident about the process.
