  • Hi Tomps 

    A lot of places sell front opening bras nowadays. They are very popular in the sports departments. I have bought several, but the best ones I found are from M and S. They have a section for post operative surgery bras. You will be asked at checkout if you are having surgery and if so they remove the 20% tax. 

    Good luck with everything 

  • Hi 

    I struggled to find a comfortable fastening bra to fit me. They all seem really small. I bought a pack of 2 from cotton traders but had to get a size bigger than I normally am.

    m&s had good options too but nothing in my size! 
    im a size 40d ! 
    good luck 

  • I wouldn’t recommend primarks new range as the front opening is hard plastic and uncomfortable especially if near stitches . M&S are ok

  • I got 2 from M&S, one a size larger than normal, and it’s much more comfortable than my normal size. Don’t want it tight!
