Hi I'm new here but have recently undergone surgery. The hospital recommended an Asda sports bra to be worn day and night - they are black with a zip up the front - very reasonable £8 each. I have found them useful and confortable but did order a range of sizes larger than my usual size - easy to collect and return.
Hi, I had wle with LICAP recon on 11 May. The only (and comfortable) support I am wearing are the £14 m &s pack of 2 crop tops JuliaA. They really are comfortable and give just enough support xx
Hi, those tops sound like they may suit me too but I've just had a quick look on m&s but can't find them (unless they were £14?). Anything extra you can share to help me find them please? J x
Hi I have just got some cropped tops from M n S not expensive and good support. Pack of 2 one black one white less than £20. Very comfortable being quite large chested these are really useful.x
I’m in an Asda post op front fastening bra post WLE /SNB. I couldn’t wear m&s post op bra as have pressure dressings on for 48hours. Asda bras are comfortable but cant adjust straps (could use a hairband to shorten strap or sew it).
I have an m&s front fastening sports bra but will try that when I’m healed and comfy.
Hi LeanneC78 I was recommended to wear a sports bra with a bra extender and found a pair in M&S after an exhaustive search. You can find a set of one black, one white without stitching on the breast area. I recommend that you go for a Fitting if you feel up to it as the breast size I finally found comfortable was totally different from my normal size. I also got the Sainsbury’s crop tops which are very smooth but hard to get on with no openings, so I’m holding those over for when I have radiotherapy. Hope this helps. Best wishes for your recovery.
Hi, after a lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy resulting in two wound sites I tried Evans sleep bras as an alternative to my usual underwired bras. However the side seams made my SLNB wound sore so I'd suggest seam free ones if you can get them. But these bras are difficult to get on and off if your arm and shoulder movement is restricted. You might like to try M&S extra high impact sports bras from their Post Surgery range. They have a zip up front so should be easier to get on and off. Hope you soon find something suitable, Leeanne.
Looking for a bit of advice. It will be two weeks next Tuesday since my op to have lump removed and some lymph nodes. I haven't been able to wear bras because my lump was situated under the breast where bottom of bra would sit. I have tried non wired bras but found myself in agony after this as the elastic was still causing too much irritation on the wound (wound still covered with dressings until I see consultant on tuesday) Problem I am finding is at night. As I am not getting much support I have found myself really sore through night and in the mornings and having to take my stronger pain killers to ease pain. I don't want to be causing any problems with my healing due to not properly supporting the breast but not sure what else to try.
