any ideas on what I can do? my macom bra is rubbing on my sides and it is so sore and I cant take it anymore… someone help please x
Could you put some cotton wool between it until you can get to the shops tomorrow Sorry I’m not much help
I have tried when I move it just moves out of place
Danielle I got 2 macoms but people have been using the m and s zip up one xxx
Great do they go in different sizes I haven’t a clue what kind to get lol xx
I have 2 macoms and they are hurting my incisions so after the bath I’ve put on a Asda bra don’t worry to much loads of girls dnt ever wear a macom as long as you feel supported you should be fine xx
the macom you just get your chest size but the one from m and s is bra size xx
Some surgeons don’t like you wearing the macom ones. I’ve got sports bras from Primark which are like £2 and:
Coz they’re different shapes its nice to swap between and they’re really comfy. Plus only £8 xx
Thanks izzy its so painful and red its starting to bleed with it rubbing so much xx
Oh god. Maybe try another bra then? The asda one that looks more like a crop top might be good, even to just wear for a bit as it might not rub at all/press where you’re sore. Put some sudocream to help heal the sore skin (if its not on your incisions) xxx
I’ve just got one from m&s today and it looks like a sports bar and think it will be very supportive I’ll looking for a one that fastens up at the front and can’t seem to find one in the shops. My nurse recommended the macom but when I went back to see my PC she told me not to get it? My op is of wed and I’m worring in not gunna be able to find a front fasten one
@emilieexo one of those links above from Asda is a front fastening one. It’s supportive and really comfy too 🙂
That sounds painful :-/ …Maybe try a different bra Hun…I had m & s ones which didn’t give me any problems and a soft Asda one for night times. Hope it gets better.
