Best post surgery bra for reconstruction

Roots · April 2018

Looking for tips for the best bras for after DMX with immediate construction. I've looked EVERYWHERE in stores for a sports style bra, with front closure, as was recommended by my surgeons, but can't find them anywhere. There are lots of choices online, but I thought I would check here to see if anyone has specific recommendations, or tips on ones to stay away from.

Thanks!

Both JCPenney and Walmart have front closure sports bras - both in the store and online. Some buy both their true size for post-bandages and a size larger to immediately accommodate a bandaged chest - they are pretty inexpensive so most can do that. Lots of ladies on this site have used the Fruit of the Loom ones, but I am not familiar with the ones at JCP, but I have seem them in the store. Here's two links:

Awesome thanks! I'm in Canada, so no JC Penny, but we do have a walmart. I'll check it out!

I really liked the anaono bras. They’re specially made for breast cancer recovery and/or treatment. And they are super soft on healing skin.

I came out of surgery with a giant surgical bra in place. It fit terribly and seemed to have no purpose!

I had bought some Danskin sports bras in larger sizes that zipped up the front from Walmart. They fit, but the amount of compression was too much for my swollen chest.

I finally ordered some called "Vermillion" something from Amazon. They had pads I could remove, zipped up the front, and had minimal support - perfect! The three pack was great.
