Hello lovely ladies, I hope you are all doing as well as can be expected and managing to get out and enjoy some fresh air and hopefully sunshine!

I'm doing a bit of advance planning. I'm meeting my reconstruction surgeon tomorrow, presumably for more tests and to talk through the ins and outs of diep reconstruction and what to expect from the surgery. 

I know i have to buy some high waist support knickers, like spanx, but I've had these before and never had much luck with them. It's always been a real struggle to get them on and off! I can't imagine having this struggle after surgery with fresh wounds on my boob and tummy and presumably in a bit of pain!

Has anyone found any support knickers that are a bit easier to get on and off? 

Sorry - I know it's a silly question - but it's something that's really worrying me! 

Also - I have to have a supportive, non underwired bra. Did anyone find a mastectomy bra worked well for this or is a sports bra better? 

Thank you so much for your help

Lorraine xx
