Hi I had mastectomy 2 year ago and did buy bras with pocket for prosthesis which are not cheap and do use them
After my first bout of breast cancer 14 year ago when I had skin sparing masectomy I bought lots of pretty underwear, probably to help me still feel feminine. Anyway this underwear was sitting in a drawer but i can now wear it on occasion as I bought a prosthesis (insert) at M&S and a roll of bust tape and stick the insert to my bra and it works a treat, much cheaper than masectomy bras. I also use one of M&S inserts in my post masectomy swim costume, much lighter than silicone prosthesis.
