Mastectomy Bra

• Thank you. I think I will try going up a size as you did and hope for the best x

Hi. Thank you. I saw that Julia Bradbury recommended this brand but when I checked online it seemed they didnt offer refunds, although I might be wrong x

I’ve just been out in my ‘Francis’ with my new boob to a Christmas carol service. Felt weird but OK. Haven’t had a bra on for six weeks since mastectomy - relied on Gilets and scarves! 

i was offered a session with an expert - think she was from a different bra company. Tried on a tonne but only this one felt bearable against the wound (will probably be better in a month or two). 

so I’d recommend it x

Thank you. That's the 2nd recommendation for Amoena's Francis.bra.

That's interesting that you didn't wear a bra for 6 weeks. I think I've been told I will need to live in one for the first 6-8 weeks??

Glad you found one that worked for you x

Had single mastectomy and just wore marks and spencer sleep bra found the comfy and fit the temporary comfy the BCN will give u to come out of hospital with x

I started with Tu Sainsbury range, Seamless Stretch Zip Front Crop Top for £9 -  easy to use as front zipped and comfy...post op it was difficult with movement. Buy a size up to factor in swelling, I didn't but I am small and swelling went down quite quickly. Used initially with softie.

Then later Nicola Jane (free returns but more expensive) when I have more movement and this fits prosthesis better.

Thank you both for your replies. I go for my left side mastectomy tomorrow

Good luck, wish you all the best

You will be fine. Trust your medical team. Try to keep calm best you can as it will help with your healing post op. Wish I can give you a big hug. They will take care of you.

Will be thinking of u tomorrow
