All about Breasts & Bra Sizes

Breasts can start growing as early as age 8 or as late as 13.

Breast Development Stages

Stage 1
Age 8-12: Nipple elevation only. This is a wide age range but we are all different. At first the only thing that will happen is that your nipple will stand out a bit.

Stage 2
Age 13: About a year or so later, your breast bud will form. This stage is called “budding”; your areola (that’s the darker area around the nipple) will get a little bit larger.

Stage 3
Age 14: Another year later, your breasts will start to get more elevated and your areola will widen further.

Stage 4
Age 15-16: Your breast size might stay unchanged, or get fuller. Also your breasts will begin to take shape. Your nipple will stick out and might form a secondary mound.

Stage 5
Age 15-16: Your breasts size might get fuller. Also your breast will begin to take shape. Your nipple will stick out and might form a secondary mound more often
