Abercrombie Padded Bikini Top For 8-Year-Olds Angers Parents (VIDEO)

"File this under unsurprising: Abercrombie & Fitch, of all wholesome places, now purveys padded bikini tops for 8-year-old girls.

ABC News took a look at the latest in tween swimwear, which had Babble.com bloggers up in arms, writing, "The push up bra is, effectively, a sex tool, designed to push the breasts up and out, putting them front and center where they're more accessible to the eye (and everything else). How is this okay for a second-grader?" "

A&F have always been a bunch of kiddie pornos. Are we surprised they now want to create breasts for 8 year olds?

Why bother with padding anyway? Why not just get the kid a boob job?

The bathing suit sizes read S, M, L, XL, and are not age specific. My 14 year-old wears a small top & bottom, and this looks like her taste. The bathing suit in question doesn't look "padded," but instead has a lining, which seems appropriate. What am I missing? :confused:

The bathing suit they're talking about is sold at Abercrombie Kids so the sizing is quite a bit smaller than at regular A&F stores. That being said, if parents don't want their 8 year olds wearing padded bikini tops, then they shouldn't buy them. Problem solved. :lol:

A&F were the same ones who came out with the "thong" panty for children a few years back.
They soon took took them off the market is I remember correctly...

The problem with that is that there are any number of crazy mommies who want their elementary school girls to flaunt a "figure" and be "hot". We see it all the time.

So these little girls walk around with fake boobs, then all the other girls want them too. And we, as parents, get to put up with the incessant whining and nagging from our kids until we give in to peer pressure - because we're the only nerd prude mommies.

When my oldest daughter was in school, it was co-ed sleepovers. Fortunately I was never the kind of mommy who gave a chit what the idiot casserole queens thought.

Would you take away a 15 year old girl's curfew because none of her friends have one? Nope, you listen to her whine about it and count down the days until she moves out. :lmao: Unfortunately we nerd moms seem to be the minority, but hopefully it pays off in the end. :lol:

So do I.

I don't think it's just a A&F thing either, anybody been bra shopping with their little one lately? It's hard to find just a standard training bra. Nothing is just basic white or tan and everything is padded. Someone explain to me why exactly A cup bras need to be push up - there's nothing to push!!

I've given up on buying bras without padding. It's impossible.

A & F never used to be marketed towards kids. It used to be along the same line as LL Bean as far as the type of clothing used it be. It was not until I think the last 10 years it became the store it did. I remember going into A & F when I was about 16 (20/21 years ago when the only store I remember being in the "area" was in Pentagon City) and thinking that nothing but "old" (think men in their 50's, so for a 16 year old, I thought that was old at the time) men shopping in there.
