I don't now about your 7 year olds but even if my 8yo put on a 30A bra it would have a job staying on their frame. So it's pretty clear that Tesco have not in any way made a "padded bra for seven year olds" as is claimed. In fact if you put your fingers on them, they have less padding than many bra's not marketed as "padded" - it's about 2 millimetres thick, if that. I think people get a little carried away with these things these days. Probably Tesco will end up having to destroy all these "30A and up" size bra's at a loss of thousands of pounds, and yet many shops will still be selling 28AA's and nobody will bat an eyelid.

Come on, let's have some perspective here: It's NOT for seven year olds despite what the media hysterics would like you to believe, and it's hardly even padded. The only thing that could even be considered slightly suggestive about it is that the middle is a little low, but I've seen similar "bikini" shaped tops marketed even for babies, and everyone just goes "Aww, how cute."

Again, perspective is the key. That and actually looking at the thing to see what all the fuss is about, before joining the angry mobs.
