I am 13 years old and I am a gymnast. I am realizing that my boobs are starting to get kinda big. I am guessing I am around an A or B cup, but I don't wear cup bras. Everyone at my gym (even without boobs) wears the Nike Pro Compression Sports bra which I own in multiple colors, but I am looking for a bra that REALLY presses down your boobs. Also in my Nike Pro Bra I am a size Large in kids if that helps...I want my boobs to look pretty flat...almost like I don't have any! (And please don't tell me to embrace them! They are taking away from my confidence and I need to be confident to do well!)

Any Advice For Bra Shopping?

I'm a guy with gynecomastia, which means I have breasts. I wear a sports bra for support. The compression vests are too constrictive around my stomach area. It's obvious that I have breasts but my nipples can get really pointy (even in hot weather) and still poke through my sports bra even while wearing sweat shirts. I always see people looking down at my chest and when I see that, I think my nips are sticking out and sure enough they are. Sorry to ramble, but I am serious. I want to get a bra but there are different style. What style kind of bra would be best for me? If I measured correctly I am A 40B.
Oh, I have already tried nipple stickers.
Thank you to everyone who can help me!

Well, bras with a little more padding in them are best for helping to conceal nipples, but since you're guy, I'm guessing you don't want your breasts looking any bigger. What kind of sports bras have you been wearing at this point? Some of them aren't very supportive, but there are kinds that are heavy duty and are more supportive for running and "high impact" activities like that. Something like that would probably be the best. Most bras besides sports bras are going to either lift and seperate, push up, or make your breasts look rounder and fuller in shape...sports bras are better at smashing things down and holding them in place. You'll want something with some sturdiness to it...it's VERY hard to hide your nips when you're wearing a bra made out of regular, thin fabric. I have one like the Champion one I've posted a link to below and I like it as far as sports bras go. It's supportive and doesn't show nipples lol. You might want to search for "high impact sports bras."
Also, just to save you some frustration, a 40 band size tends to be hard to find, I think. While plenty of people do wear those sizes, most stores only go up to 38...so, you might be able to find that size, but if you can't there's a thing called a "sister size" that you can also use if you can't find the one you need. I believe your sister size would be a 38C (don't worry about the size tag, just the fit though...you can always cut off the tags! Some people seem resistant to wearing certain sizes, but the fit is really what matters, not the size). Depending what brand of bra you go with, they may just come in sizes like M, L, XL, etc. rather than bra sizes...not all sports bras use standard sizing.
Are you confused and overwhelmed yet? Hope this helps :)
