Underwear for Locker Room?

Let her pick out her own underwear. Unless she asking for underwear that costs $20 a pair or something really expensive, let her get what she wants.

Have you asked her what she would like? She probably has some idea. Just gently let her know that she really is allowed to have an opinion and that you would really like to know what she would like. Then over the weekend, go to the store with her and buy her some new underwear.

This isn't a big deal unless you make it a big deal. Let her know that this is perfectly ok and that she can have new underwear that makes her feel comfortable.

Let her choose her own underwear.

welcome to mamapedia, A.

She's old enough. Let her choose her own underwear.

She doesn't need Victoria's Secret - but she can get something that she likes.

Take her shopping and let her pick out her underwear.

It does not have to be Victoria's Secret. Try Kohls and other
Department stores.

I'm glad she opened up to you. That says a lot!' .

I really hate to say that we should start wearing underwear to please other people.
While a certain amount of conforming is expected, how far does the drive to please others go and where is the line to stop?
She should wear what is functional and what is comfortable.
Changing styles/brands is all good and well - but at the same time she doesn't need designer high priced underwear either.

Take her shopping and let her pick out some herself. Look for sales, if she wants more expensive stuff. Or start at the discount stores, Target, etc. You don't have to get the racy styles ,they have some modest cute stuff outside the plastic packages.

unless she is wanting thongs or something just let her pick out some cute stuff, maybe take a girls trip to VS or something.

is this really a big deal?

i'm a panties-from-a-pack gal too, but i'm not 11 in a public school. i certainly wouldn't take her to victoria's secret or get her anything string or super sexy, but why not take her to target and let her pick out her own?

Walmart sells more trendy underwear like "XO" , but my kid is 14 and has no problem with the packaged underwear. They actually have some that look really nice and you can't tell them from the more expensive ones - especially in the teen sizes. The cotton is really more comfortable than the fancy stuff.

When I was a teen we had a Rue 21. They sold underwear for a dollar each. I think you can check online to see if any stores near you sell underwear for cheap, I think I have picked up one or two undies by themselvs at my local target. Take your daughter shopping and let her pick out underwear that she sees and whats "in".

What does your daughter want to do? Our girl was wearing undies she picked out at that age. She doesn't do a gym class where they change clothes. If your girl is bothered by changing she can always go into a bathroom stall to change.
