Helpful review:Got these for post breast surgery and I am so surprised at how comfortable they are!
The lightly padded cups (removable) […] provide some protection post-surgery.
It also has the all-important front closure (this one has a zipper), plus wide adjustable straps.
Helpful review:Purchased this for after my breast reduction to wear daily, and I LOVE it!!
The only downside is that it isnt machine washable.
Then I found these gems!
This bra is so soft it does not dig under or irritate my incisions.
Choose from Velcro or hook-and-eye front closures, depending on your preference.
Helpful review:I had bilateral mastectomy in January 2018.
True to company claims, the bras are made of soft cotton fabric and are truly comfortable.
Helpful review:Purchased for post-breast augmentation.
I should have started with SheFit.
Plus, they come in a convenient three-pack so you might always have one on hand.
Theyre not adjustable, however, so be sure to measure your bust to ensure the most supportive fit.
Helpful review:I love these bras!
I recently had a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction with implants.
It also has interior pockets that can hold ice packs or extra padding.
Plus, its machine washable.
Helpful review: I purchased this bra after I had my breast reduction.
The bra that was given to me after surgery was way too tight and I needed something more comfortable.
I love that it has velcro in different areas to adjust the drains.
This bra definitely delivered!
I am a 36D and purchased a medium and it is a perfect fit.
I 1000% recommend!
