Recovery Post Surgery Bra

Soft and comfortably but the fastening at the front was visible through fitted clothes.

I struggle to fasten and unfast

No, I don't recommend this

I find the bra difficult to manage because I can’t put it on by myself. The fabric is soft and good, but fastening and unfastening it is very troublesome for me.

Comfortable post surgery bra

Yes, I recommend this

Very comfortable but I think the tabs for the bra fastenings shrink just a little bit when washed so it's harder to fasten and undo. Otherwise a very useful bra

Wonderful post surgery bra

Yes, I recommend this

Bought for post reduction surgery - have found this bra really comfortable and soft. Comes below incision wounds, adjustable straps handy. Lovely and soft. Realised needed another bra as need to wear for 6 weeks solid, only white was available in store, black arrived next day. Only criticism is the fastening hooks, which seem unnecessarily fiddly and very hard to do up and undo - this improves with wear. Would highly recommend this bra.

Uncomfortable!

No, I don't recommend this

Purchased 3 of these bras to wear post mastectomy surgery with reconstruction and lymph node removal. I got measured in-store prior to surgery and bought correct size (I wasn’t told to size up, but feel I should have asked my breast clinic nurse before buying). I’m very petite and bra feels too small and my skin gets heavily indented around under bust and swollen shoulder area. I have to wear 24/7 for 6 weeks, and during the healing process feel extremely uncomfortable the whole time, which this bra seems to exacerbate. The rose gold one is even tighter than the white one (mine was 1cm shorter around the under bust!) and will be returned. The black is also constantly unavailable in my size. The hook and eye closure is incredibly difficult to fasten with only one arm in use (I needed help for first week after surgery). Considering that 55,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK each year, we are really limited for affordable front-fastening, post-surgery options. I’m grateful a trusted High Street store are at least trying, however, more improvement in design is required. Perhaps more research might bring about a better design?

Decent, supportive, post-surgery bra

Yes, I recommend this

I bought this to wear post surgery. I've gone from a 32G to a 32E (lumpectomy) and needed a bra that would provide a lot of support for the first few weeks. Style-wise, it's ok. The hooks and eyes are fine and the velcro holds it all in place. The fit is good, my nurse has seen me in it and commented that it looks very supportive which is what I need. I've given it four stars rather than five because the band at the bottom could be a little bit wider for me, but it still does what I need it to do. Also, I don't sleep in it as I don't find it comfortable enough to wear 24/7.

Could not fasten up

No, I don't recommend this

Found this bra impossible to fasten. Even when I did manage, it is not long enough and rides up. So will dispose, nice soft material though, but overall very disappointing.

Super soft bra for post-op use

Yes, I recommend this

I bought two of these to wear after a single mastectomy with immediate reconstruction and they have been very comfortable. The material is soft with no seams anywhere on the cup. The front fastener has been fine for me but I read that others have struggled with it. What I will say is before my surgery I tried the bras on in the shop and the white one was very hard to do up, but I bought the rose / beige ones and they were much easier to fasten. The Velcro can also stick to other things so I bought lingerie laundry bags for them to stop them clinging to everything else. I recommend this bra for reconstruction surgery use.

Product was lovely quality and did what it was supposed to do. Due to post surgery recovery I had to wear this day and night, so became resentful after a while, but no reflection on the quality of the product which I would highly recommend.

Bought for front opening

No, I don't recommend this

I purchased this in readiness for surgery. As I haven’t had the surgery I can’t comment on wearing it yet. It is not a pretty garment but is one of very few I could find with front opening which is what I will need.

Good Quality

Yes, I recommend this

Recently had mastectomy with reconstructive surgery... was told once the dressing came off would need a front fastening supportive bra so looked online... ordered normal size but found it to be too small due to swelling so ordered size up which fits fine on reconstructed breast but not so well on other hut luckily they come with little pockets so could pad out other breast to almost match and adjustment to straps . So advice to others would be to order size above normal. Nice and comfortable fabric .

Good quality and fit for purpose -

Yes, I recommend this

Just had my surgery 10 days ago, brought 2 in different colours! Comfortable and reassuring to wear! Its tricky to do up with only one arm in action, but was able to get assistance from friends and relatives to start with! Washed by hand after soaking as surgery dye turned white one pink on removal- i did up velco to avoid sticking and it came up like new dried outside in sun
