      It’s a bra for preteens without boobs to get used to wearing a bra. Although I’m sure they’re a thing partially due to peer pressure (not wanting to seem less developed than the other girls).

            Yup, aware of those which is why I assumed it to be about a sport bra. People use alternative words/terms instead of a strict language all the time so I fell victim to my own ignorance. xd

          It’s partly peer pressure, but also a modesty thing, since nipples suddenly become demonized at a certain age and it’s no longer seen as socially acceptable for developing girls to wear a plain white tshirt without a bra.

          Less of a thing in mainland Europe btw, I remember visiting my cousin for a beach trip as teens and was culture shocked that she and most other people our age would swim topless regardless of gender.
