Your a growing girl. Time to teach them some tricks!

Well, we train them to be and stay perky and not bounce around like a excited puppy with a treat. So they won't be jiggling wigglily..lol And sag to the floor by the time were 34. We have to train them to stay upright and at attention..

Im wondering what actually made you think about something so daft and puzzling!!! I think training bras are to get young girls used to wearing and doing bras up. I mean you have brought up a daughter, did you not have a father/daughter time about needing a training bra??? lol xx

I have always wodered about that. You have asked a very good quesion, my fried.

LOL Your 'bits' are supposed to just dangle unless required to do otherwise whilst boobs are supposed to have a little support to train them not to sag - at least not til we get a lot older at least! lol xxx

You just keep me in stitches, P1ke! Your discussions today are very interesting and humorous. I think they're called training bras, not for the area that they cover, but for the girl herself. To "train" her to wear one by the time she truly NEEDS one. You never wore training pants? But they help ensure that you know to go to the bathroom and not all over yourself! LOL! Seriously, though, your "stuff" isn't visible upon clothed sight, and a girl's is. If she doesn't learn to wear one before she has more than mosquito-bites, then it's harder to get her to wear one when she has apples or melons and NEEDS one! Otherwise she's more liable to attract unwanted attention, whether she likes it or not. Or whether the people around her like it or not! At any rate, the mental image of teaching the "pups" to jump through hoops is very amusing!

I haven't a clue on this one a bit like why is rush hour called rush hour when most cars are crawling rather than rushing eh! Ellie :D

I think hopefully training them to defy gravity! I think I should go back to a training bra.

that is a great question. i am not sure why they say training bra, are they teaching you to take it off or put it on

p1key, That's a tough one....I didn't wear a training bra, I waited until the last possible moment to wear one and by then it was too late! I went right into a B-cup....and boy, was it uncomfortable! I only wear them today, since they're heavy enough that a bra is required! I think the main difference is that boys wear those 'tighty-whiteys' that hold their junk pretty much in place when they're younger, plus if they sag, who's to know? I think it's rather obvious when women are saggy (and it's not considered that attractive either!).

My thinking is that it is to get the girl used to wearing the bra itself. I could be very wrong on this. When I was 11, I had to wear one. I hated it. It was so uncomfortable that I most of the time did not wear it and guess what...no one noticed. I was 16 and the bra was still like new and I could sadly, still fit into it. Maybe the fact that I refused to wear it had something to do with why I still could? I have 4 girls and I never put them thru that torture. When the reached a point that they noticibly needed a bra, I took them out and bought them one. Lack of the training bra did not seem to hold them back any so I'm thinking my first theory is probably the correct one. Bras are expensive and with todays economy, I'd say that is just another thing to waste your money on.

My guess is it is so named for training girls.To get them used to the routine of putting it on properly. Not to mention daily. Not for training the "twins". It is also shorter than saying "girls 1st bra".

LOL, I'm sorry this one just made me laugh. Where do you come up with this stuff?? It is, however, a great question. I guess training bras are made in smaller sizes and the cups are softer?? I have no clue it has been eons since I wore one! LOL

My dad once told me that when I was little, he said that he needed to get some training bras for me and I said "Why? I wouldn't fall over". LOL Sorry your question reminded me of that. I think it's to get one used to having a bra but honestly I have no idea.

I think training bra should be called: beginners bra,knowing that this will be the first bra for a young female. training bra,training bra I'm repeating it i don't get it either.

Oh, dear P1key, you are looking at it the wrong way. Training bras have nothing what so ever to do with what they are supposed to be holding...since usually a girl in a training bra has very little there needing to be held. It's all about training us girls to open those stupid hooks so once we graduate to full fledged underwires we can get out of them safely without poking out eyes out.

hi pikey thats a good question has me scratching my head. training, maybe its training the girl to watch out for all the guys who are now going to ogle her boobs.lol heavens I do hope the young girls dont get big boobs that they can jiggle around and really have the boys eyes popping out of their heads. I remember my husband moaning because my boobs'were becoming less huge while i was trying to lose ' weight after two babies in just over ten months.He loved 'my big boobs but he didnt have to contend with them pulling on my shoulders. but backto the training bra, I havent the'foggiest idea why it is called that , you are not training your boobs,you are containing them,why not containing bra,now that would make more sense.

If you think about it..which I have never done..its an odd turn of phrase isnt it??!as you say..what are we training?and how are we supposed to `train` them!..it sounds a bit like growing a plant..stick up a few bamboo canes and see what happens!!But the more I give it thought the more I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME THINK OF ANY REASON WHY THEY SHOULD BE CALLED THAT!!ooooo that caps key yet again..sry

P1ke..i never had to train for anything..I was an early developer..my hills turned into mountains very fast..

Hmm to stop them from jumping around whenever they run. I can imagine that theyd be quite annoying when running the 100 meter dash. They might even pop out, that happened once at my school.
