Seamless bras should be a staple in every girl’s dresser drawers. However, they have their downsides, too. Knowing about the pros and cons of this garment will help you decide if it’s a good option for your daughter.
Let’s discuss the difference between seamed and seamless bras–the good and the bad. We’ll also tell you about the best place to buy them online!
Pros of Seamless Bras
No Padding Needed
Padding on bras makes the breast look rounder and fuller, which can be uncomfortable for developing girls. There’s no need to enhance the appearance of their growing breasts, so why buy a bra that has this feature?
Do seamless bras have padding? While some have light padding, ours have none. Instead, our bras are made from thick fabric that provides full, supportive coverage.
Discrete Under Clothing
Young girls entering tweendom may feel self-conscious if they can see their bra through their clothing. Their classmates may point it out, too. Seamless bras don’t show through clothing, making them perfect for wearing t-shirts, camisoles, and even thin fabrics!
Yellowberry’s bras come in many colors, but the nude shade will work best under clothing that’s a bit more see-through.
They’re Comfortable
Seamed bras have wires that can poke your daughter, hooks that can scratch her, and fabric that can itch. This could make wearing them uncomfortable. On the other hand, seamless bras are comfortable because they are made from soft fabrics. This makes them great for girls with sensitive skin or sensory sensitivities.
Our bras are breathable for extra comfort and won’t pinch under the arms. Some are also sweat-wicking, which is always helpful in the summer or for physical activity!
Cons of Seamless Bras
Like most garments, seamless bras come with some challenges that you should know about. While we still believe that these bras are for everyone, here are some other factors to consider:
Fewer Options
Does your daughter want a bra with patterns, lace, or other details? She’s not likely to find them in a seamless bra. This garment tends to be plain, which is what helps them to stay invisible under clothing.
To mitigate this potential issue, Yellowberry’s seamless bras come in different colors to allow your daughter some options as you shop for her.
Difficult to Wash
Seamless bras tend to be harder to wash than seamed bras. They should be hand-washed and laid down to dry. While they can be put in a machine, you’ll need to use the most delicate settings to wash them.
Thankfully, Yellowberry’s Tulip seamless bra is machine washable and dryable, making them perfect for busy moms who just don’t have time for hand-washing. You can also toss our Sugar bras in the washer. Remember, use a lingerie bag when washing any bra!
Less Supportive
Because they don’t have wires, seamless bras are oftentimes less supportive than seamed bras. They don’t lift the breasts as much–but does your daughter really need that?
The Bottom Line
Seamless bras have their good characteristics and bad ones, too. At the end of the day, we believe they’re a great option for growing girls. Yellowberry carries three different types of seamless bras, all of which are designed for girls ages eight to fifteen.
Yellowberry’s seamless bras support girls from A to D cups, making them great training bras and ‘first bras’ for younger teens. They’re designed for coverage and support, not enhancement. Shop our collection today and find your daughter’s new favorites!
