The 5 Stages Of Breast Development In Girls During Puberty
by Adira Editorial on Mar 03, 2022
Breast Growth During Puberty Is Divided Into 5 Stages
Stage 1:
This is a stage before puberty where the breasts are flat with a small areola and a raised nipple. At this stage, she will not require a bra. She can use simple single-layered camisoles and vests.Stage 2:
Breast buds develop in this stage. Tissue develops under each nipple and the areolae and nipples become bigger and darker in colour and she might feel some tenderness in the breasts.At this stage, if she is getting conscious, she will need layered bras or camisoles so the breast bud does not show through her tops. She can opt to wear bras/camisoles made of cotton or other natural fabrics to help with the tenderness. Adira’s flat padded beginner/starter bras and flat padded starter camisoles will be the right choice for your girl.
Stage 3:
The breast buds grow larger and the breasts will start looking pointed and this might look awkward through her tops.She will surely need Adira's need starter bras or camisoles that gives her smoother coverage without making them look pointed.
