- 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!

- 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.
