Bras

[BeaBea]

Hi everyone, I wear underwired bras, are these going to be uncomfortable post surgery? Has anyone any suggestions?

mine was but only for a few days...and my normal one was way too big within a fornight!

I just went 'au naturel' for a few days!

Hi Beth, I have a couple of soft sports bra which I shall use since I would have thought that for the benefit of healing, I would keep these on for a few days to help support my back.. if you get my drift... it's getting nearer and I'm thinking of your every step Angel, I am stuck in bed, but you are tucked up with me in my laptop!
Love and hugs always xxx

YES, YES, YES!!

Mine were very uncomfortable. Luckily I had some old non-wired ones. They looked awful and let my boobs droop to my belly button but I couldn't wear the wired ones for about 2 weeks.

I would think Karen, it would be better to wear a bra... particularly me with heavy (.)(.)'s and it has to be a relief to have some support off the belly... if you get my drift... xxx

 

[slimmerkay]

I do get your drift Bev.

BeaBea I would invest in a couple of soft cotton sports bras. I wish I had before my op.

 

[Bev]

The soft sports bra's are a great invention... so comfortable and I would think about this Beth... it's difficult with bra's but comfort and support is a luxury after any surgery... hope this helps... xxx

I was fine and I was a 38K so NO WAY wa I going without!!! xx

Thank you for your replies, I'm a BIG girl and although au natural would be great, how can I put this I feel like they might hang over my scars! If that makes sense so I will definately go and have a look for some soft bras to tide me over bearing in mind they do them big enough. Thanks again x

hi beabea,

I took a sportsbra and a wired one into hospital,and I had to wear the sportbra,the underwire dug into my wounds.
I would go and get some cheap soft bras..just to get you through until you can wear wire again.. xx
good luck

 

[Grace]

ahem I did overhang some of my wounds...but they had dressings on...then after a fortnight I found a soft bra I could get into that was way too small before!

 

[slimmerkay]

Bon Marche do some inexpensive soft bras in bigger sizes. No point spending a fortune because they will soon get too big.

 

[BeaBea]

Hi Karen, you know I was just looking there on line, I'll try and pop in tomorrow, thanks for that.

I'm wearing closer, more fitted clothes now and wondered recently if I'd gone too far as I could feel a tightness around my middle. It took me a couple of days to realise that it's because I can now FEEL my bra sitting on my ribs ! :8855:No fat to cushion it any more... Gosh, what a journey of discovery this is !

 

[Bev]

Aww Rose... that's worth looking forward to in the future! Love and hugs xxx

hey beabea,

Ive bought twin pack soft bras from evans before and they was quite cheap too x

Hi, I went out today and looked around, forgot to try Evans when I was near by and by the time I thought about it my feet were rejecting me. Karen I went into Bon Marche, but their largest soft bra was tight but worth a try.

So, came home and had another look around on the internet. I came to Simply Yours and found a two for one £18 offer size 46 fits all cup sizes. I suppose it is what I would term a sleep bra, but looks really nice and comfortable.
