BRA'S!? Started by: Laura

Hey Laura, hope your recovery is going well! I never bothered with the macom as I thought they were expensive, I had a high impact sports bra from matalan for the first week but found it was cutting into my collar bones as I was wearing it 24/7 so ordered two different ones from amazon, just ordered the band size and they stretch to accommodate cup sizes, and have three different clasps so room for swelling, so same as the macom but cheaper! Nurse is happy with the amazon ones and they’re really comfy, I’ll link you if you’re interested?xx

Hi girls. I have 2 macoms but I do struggle with weari. Clothes because they are so high.
I also got a high impact zip front sports bra from m&s which is super comfortable.
And then I got a pack of 2 sports bras from Asda and matalan which everyone has mentioned about but i don’t feel they give enough support.
I did come across a medium impact reversible sports bra from Tesco by chance when I was buying lunch and it’s so comfortable and enough support. It’s one that goes over the head though, so I won’t recommend it straight away.
After my strapping came off I used my macoms and high impact bra because I had more weight to my boobs which I had to get used to. Now I prefer the medium supports during the day anda high impact at night. I just change it round daily.
Some people have mentioned about CK crop tops but I can’t imagine they give support as I’ve popped in to have a look. That being said some surgeons recommend them because they don’t like macoms. And I’ve read some surgeons say not to wear anything! All this different advice!

I’d probably speak to your nurse or go by what your surgeon recommended as every one will practice differently x
