    Honestly m&s do the best post op bras . Far more in store than online but they are so comfy . Worth trying a few on if you can . They have attempted to make them look pritty there’s a few floral ones . I also brought some meteternity ones from there by accident in the sale . There the best it’s the same idear. Meternity and support wear . Xx

    I liked The Royce X-Static silver post op bra the best, the macom was rubbish in my opinion didnt wash well. I liked the m&s ones but they were better for further down the line rather than straight after the op

    I’m considering getting a Royce, they look so comfy! @Flicky1 and @lorelei Would you suggest getting a larger back size than normal? And do the cup sizes come up small? I’m a 32B and been told I will be 32D. I was thinking of getting a 34D because of swelling in the first couple of weeks? Will get some M & S ones too as they look lovely! Thanks x

    I found the primark ones very good, swap them in between wearing my Macom, found the Royce supportive but the elastic band very uncomfortable & kept rolling up :/ I’ve heard nothing but good reviews on m&s ones though..how you doing @ayshababy, have read you’re having a reop with 900cc? Exciting stuff! Xx

    @Ellie I would suggest going up a back size for the swelling definitely. My Royce was too small for the first few weeks so I used the Macom until it fitted but once the Royce fitted it was the best an I never wanted to wear a Macom after that! But i would say get a Macom just incase it doesnt fit because theres not much guess work with what will fit as its not cup sized. After about a month I got some m&s ones that looked a bit more like real bras. I didnt feel comfortable wearing normal bras at first so i got some nice non wired ones from m&s and matalan which were great. Cant recommend the Royce highly enough its definitely called Royce for a reason, in my opinion its the Rolls Royce of post surgery bras lol x

    @flicky1 ha that’s amazing advice thanks so much! I’ll definitely be investing in a few bras so will take on board what you have said, thanks so much! In terms of tops that button up the front would zip up hoodies be best and shirts? Do you have any recommendations? I imagine I’ll be living in comfy clothes for a week at least! 🙂 x

    @Ellie yeah zip up hoodies an shirts are fine! Just anything that you dont have to pull over your head! I wore vests as well but as they were very stretchy i didnt have to lift my arms up like you would if it were really tight! x

    @lisa royce x-static silver post surgery bra is the one i used as it does up in the front, sports bra might be good for later down the line but i never tried that one x

    plus the sports one looks like it goes up really high up the chest, might be annoying with clothes x
