For a lot of people, searching for the perfect bra post-mastectomy can be a challenge. We wanted to help streamline your research into the intricate world of post-mastectomy bra’s because let’s face it – one size does definitely not fit all.

Here are 6 of our favourite bra’s that are post-mastectomy friendly!

Amoena: Sarah Front Fastening Soft Bra

Our Thoughts:

• Bra’s will stretch as you wear them and swelling decreases. The velcro adjustable straps mean that you can adjust the straps as your body changes shape.
• It is front fastening with two hook and eye sizes which great for when swelling goes down as it can go to the tighter setting.
• They may be introducing this is black – a white doesn’t stay white for very long!

SheFit: Ultimate Sports Bra

Our Thoughts:

• America based, this bra is extremely supportive and you can adjust everything (we suggest watching the video online, this bra is a game changer!)
• It is wire-less and has removable padded cups.
• Plus, it has two hidden eye and hooks so when you unzip it doesn’t fling open – which can be a very painful thing to happen post-surgery.
