    Since day 12 ive been having a problem with my sports bras they are all digging into my skin across my boobs and at the sides. Is this just because of swelling or do I need to get bigger bras ? Ive spent quite abit since my op trying to get comfy bras but they all seem to dig in or don’t give enough support .. Can anyone recommend anywhere to get them from ? ive got some from m&s and and one from jd sports yesterday but still they are digging in 🙁 makes them sore and itchy. Thanks in advance ladies 🙂 xx

    I went to Debenhams and got fitted for a Shock Absorber Ultimate Run bra, I practically live in it since a week post op lol! Whatever you chose, you defo need to be fitted for it xx

    Yes trace is right! I bought lots of bras but my shock absorber is the best, I bought mine in a 36gg… The size I wanted to be and it was a bit too tight when my swelling was bad but it supported well and now it fits perfect, but definitely get measured for one of they will do it for you, m&s wouldn’t measure me because I didn’t have dressings on whilst healing so I’d advise to put some on for your measuring, they can sometimes worry about scabs xxx

    @Brunette800 Thanks hun il have a look there. My incisions are healed no scabs now but might take some cotton wool pads just to be sure while im trying them on. I bought a shock absorber from a catalogue 34dd but it feels too tight now will have to pop in debenhams. How are you now how many weeks po ? xx
