how can i ask my mom for a bra?

Question

the last time i got a bra was about 2 months ago and now they are getting small. i want to ask my mom for a new one but i am too embarrsed to do that. The last time i ask her for a bra i felt like i was going to crawl into a hole. i want to get a bra from victoria's secret but i am afraid she will say no because they are too revealing. But all of my friends shop there and their parents are fine with it and they are FLAT! how can i ask my mom for a bra at vicki's? how did u ask your mom for a bra?
by the way my mom and i aren't very close...

Answer 1

Be honest with her and tell her that you need a new bra and that you would like to go and look at victoria's secret. Not all bras at victoria's secret are revealing... like i know the Ipex isn't, and they have their "Body" line, but most of all they are more comfortable. Yes, they are rather expensive, but they provie good support. If she does let you get one, don't put them in the dryer when you wash them, because this will make them get too small quickly.

Im sorry you aren't very close with your mom... and I'm sorry if you are embarassed about asking... but it really is important for you to have proper support.

Also, Keep in mind that Target has some super cute ones too! Also, JC Penny ans Macy's... all three have really cute styles that go on sale frequently.

Answer 2

I'd just tell her that your bra is getting too small. I'm assuming that you're still developing, based on what you're saying. I wouldn't recommend you shop Victoria's Secret until you're done growing, unless you buy expensive regular clothing in general (and your friends' parents may have a budget that allows for things that costly, while your mom may not). Places like Target have cute bras at reasonable prices. I doubt your mom would be too cool with spending $40 or more on a bra that won't fit you in a couple months.
Try to treat asking for a new bra like you treat asking for other clothing. It may make it easier if you think about it like that.

I think th ebest thing to do is go up to her when she is alone and say "mom can I ask you something?" "The bra I have now is getting to small and I need another one. Do you think we could go to Victoria Secrets and see if they have any sales? My friends say they are made really well and last a lot longer than other ones." Victoria Secrets dont just have revealing bras, they have nice conservative ones as well. If she says no to Victoria Secrets just say ok. You can start shopping there when its your money your spending. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Well i agree with your mom there on the Victoria Secret. Those bra's are to expensive. Don't conform to the pattern of this world. There are a lot more comfortable bra's out there. Just secretly ask your mom for a new bra. She can even go with out you so it might save some embarrassment. Your mom has been there before so she knows what you are going through.

Answer 5

Why do you want an overpriced bra just because all of your friends are? It's not as if anyone is going to be looking at your bra and saying "Oh em gee you aren't wearing a VS bra! What a loser!" And you aren't going to be going around town showing people your bra (I hope) so just tell your mom you need some new bras because your own ones are too small.

Answer 6

you dont really have to ask if the bras are something you need. just bring it up casually and say that the ones you have are too small. from there work your way up to telling her where you would like to get a bra from.

just because all the girls you know wear victoria's secret bras doesnt mean you need to. it's a waste of money if you are still growing.

Answer 7

just calmly go up to her and say: "mom, can i get a new bra, my old ones are getting small and uncomfortable. wait for an answer and then suggest some bras casually. Victoria's secret has some bras that aren't to revealing go to the website and search. then show your mom. good luck!

Answer 8

you don't need to be embarrased to ask her, she went through the same process you are going through. She will understand that you need to get bigger bras, as you get bigger. As for V.S. they do make some very conservative bras as well, they just don't advertise them as much as the seductive ones. V.S. is a great choice, they are well made and will last a lot longer than a cheap department store bra. Get your mom to take you to the mall, then go in and look around. I'm sure you will find a bra that both of you can agree on.

Answer 9

ask your mom if she can take you shopping...very casual and then plan a date to go, but dont mention anything about the bra and then go to a few stores and when you see victorias secret, still act casual and ask if you can go into victorias secret becuz you saw something in there you like or something like that and then youll both walk in and then sorta walk over to wear the bras are and shell probably be with you and then just like really casually, like you just thought of it, ask her if you can get a new bra bcuz yours are so tiny that theyre like suffocating you! lol but you have to exaggerate a little for her to actually get one and if she says no, which she totally wont, say that victorias secret bras are like the best bcuz they give you lots of support, theyre comfy, reasonable and very cute! you might want to bring some money with you just in case she doesnt want to buy it for you..

hope i helped!

Answer 10

Why can't you go shopping with your friends for a bra? But if she says no just say i need new bras because my old ones are to small.

P.S. Victoria Sercet underwears break very easly after a few washes
