MACOM v ASDA Started by: Bee

I’m just researching which support bra to get.. I was worried I wouldn’t get the support from other brands. Which one did you buy from asda? I think I will have a look at one now I’ve read this! Thankyou xx

Hey hun, I bought a Macom, an ASDA post op bra (only online. £8 I think) and two ASDA sports bras. Honestly, as long as you’re supported well and there is no rubbing on your incisions then you’ll be fine! Macom is the best for the first few days, but after a week it was muuuuch more comfortable to wear my ASDA one. Macoms are expensive and if you don’t want to spend that much then don’t worry, they’re definitely not essential. Just make sure whatever you wear is very supportive for the first few weeks. xxx

The new asda zip up bra (£8) is really comfy. I have macoms too but the asda one is just as supportive if not more

No one seems to rate the Macom but my nurse has scared me so much I feel like I need to order them. Shes said if I wear sports bras and don’t go ahead with a Macom il regret the results and that’s what girls do and come back with wonky nipples and pointing in different directions then wonder why.. Arghh xx

Hi!

It feels like the nurses get commission for everyone they send to get Macom lol I know that’s not the case but they do strongly push you that direction. Luckily my friend told me Asda is better so I got two different types. The above Zip front and fasten up front (one without the floral pattern) I took before picks that I’ll be posting. Gosh I’m so flat in it at the month lol but they are comfortable xx

Thanks bee. Its best to go in store to get them as they are always out of stock online xx

I can’t wait to fill this lol.

Thanks for the links…the one Bee have its out of stock as mentioned above however the one Nestereen its in stock and reduced from 8 to 6 quid…absolute bargain!!….on that note im 34 B atm hoping to achieve D cup do i still go for 34 or 36 in these? What did you get? Xx

Don’t suppose any og you girls van help me,
I’ve tried asking the nurse and my pc what size bra I’ll need after surgery and they just say get a macom, but I can’t afford one so I need like that asda alternative.
I’ve heard you go up a back size to your usual and is it also a cup higher than you think? The only thing is I think I may be a DD after surgery but a lot of girls have achieved a E or wearing an E with smaller implants than mine so I’m so confused? lol
Any help would be great! xx

@nessa ah thank you very much 🙂 I might buy a 34 E and a 34 DD just in case then 🙂 xx

Hi ladies I’m thinking of booking my surgery soon :D.im currently a miserable 32a ATM and have been told to have 275cc.im just wondering what size po bra would I have to buy? After reading comments on here I think I’m defo going Asda :).Thanks ladies xx

I know this post was a long time ago but I had asda bras last time and they were awful! Which ones did you get? Cos this time I’ve got the Macom ibra which is the more expensive one the highest support one and it’s brilliant! So so much not comfortable than any m&s asda or Matalan ones I had last time xxx

I love my Asda bra! Apparently near my friend they are £3 on sale so I’m taking a trip down to see if there are any left!!! Still £8 online tho xx

Im one week today post op ? Xx

I wish I knew if it was a lot different than the 3 I had from asda! Cos the asda ones look a lot nicer than Macom and don’t wanna have to wear this for 6 weeks ? But for now it’s so comfy! How are you recovering? What have you had done?xxx

Hi girls, had my op on Monday and have been in my Macom bra, however just swapped to the asda one whilst I wash that and it feels a little tight for me and is squashing them together a bit. Is this ok and won’t cause damage? Xxx
