About TrainingBras.com
TrainingBras.com is an independent guide to first bras and training bras, built to make sizing, fit, construction, and shopping decisions easier to understand.
Why this site exists
Buying a first bra mixes clothing, comfort, growth, and family talks that can feel awkward. It's confusing because every brand uses different labels, different ways of measuring, and different terms for the same things. A size that sounds familiar at one brand often doesn't mean the same thing at another, and marketing language can blur the line between an actual spec and a vague claim.
This site explains first bras without pushing one retailer or brand. We show where facts come from, say when we don't know something, and help you go from "I need a bra for my kid" to a clear next step.
What we cover
- First-bra basics and guidance for parents
- Measuring, sizing, and fixing fit problems
- Bra types, materials, and how bras are constructed
- School, sports, and other everyday situations
- How different brands size their products
- Product profiles and comparison tools
What "independent" actually means here
We don't treat a brand's own claim as independent proof of anything. Product specs are sourced from the brand itself or its official documentation. Anything related to health or development is held to a higher bar and comes from pediatric, government, or peer-reviewed sources. If we ever add commercial partnerships, they'll be disclosed, and they won't be allowed to change our facts, our sizing data, or which products we recommend.
Our editorial principles
- Comfort and preference over rigid age rules. A birthday alone doesn't decide whether someone needs or wants a bra.
- Age-appropriate, always. We use practical, non-sexualized language and images throughout.
- The right evidence for the right claim. A medical statement and a fabric spec don't need the same kind of proof — but they both need proof.
- Unknown stays unknown. We don't fill in missing product or sizing details with guesses.
- No fake testing. We're clear about what's sourced from a manufacturer versus anything we've actually tested ourselves.
- Corrections are part of the job. Charts and specs change. When we get something wrong, we fix it and recheck it.
Tools help; standards don't bend
Research, drafting, data prep, and checks on this site may use AI tools. Whatever the tool, published pages still have to meet the same sourcing bar. A tool can't turn a brand marketing claim into medical evidence, invent a missing product detail, or skip a human check of the source.
Who publishes the site
TrainingBras.com is edited by Tanya Francis, from Guelph, Ontario. She isn't a manufacturer, retailer, or clinician. Bylines name her so you can tell our guides from a brand's own product page.
Tanya writes and checks the first-bra guides, sizing notes, and product profiles. This site doesn't provide medical care. Anything about development is attributed to pediatric sources such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and Nemours KidsHealth. Fit advice here is about clothing — nothing more.

How to read our voice
If a sentence sounds like a diagnosis, it doesn't belong here. If it tells you how a garment is built, how to measure, or how a brand labels its sizes, that's our job.
Found something wrong?
If you spot an outdated size chart, a product detail that no longer matches the manufacturer, a broken link, or just a factual error, use the Contact page. Bigger corrections are handled under our Corrections Policy.
