help!

i need advice.. i had my BA last thursday i didnt have any scraping i just put my Macom bra on from the surgery. Can i take it off for a break? or do i have to keep it on at all times ?

Hey Hun, you pretty much have to wear it 24/7 for 6 weeks, except when you have a shower, I did used to take mine off for about 20 mins a night to ice them as I had really bad swelling, I know it’s annoying but will definetly be worth it x x x

Hi Gemma, I’m probably not much use as I don’t have my ba until next week but I have seen a few girls on here who have found the macoms really uncomfortable, maybe if it’s really not comfy you could try a different bra? Maybe m&s or the adds ones seem popular…… 6 weeks is a long time to be in a bra that hurts ? xx

Only had it on a few days and I feel like they need to come out I’ve undone it and put it on a slacker strap which helps but it is uncomfortable.
It doesn’t rub or anything I can’t explain the feeling I just want it to be off?

Thank you xxx

Change your bra to one of your others. I found after a couple of days in my macom it just didnt feel comfy anymore. It was just because I’d had it on so long. Try switching your bra every day xx

do you think you got the right back size ? or is the macom bra just generally making you feel uncomfortable?xx

I got some lovely bras from
M&S inknow the nurse recommended Macom bras but I always wear m&s underwear and its lovely so I thought I would stick with what I know obviously I have my op tomorrow so I don’t no what they are going to feel like post op but they were so comfortable when I tried them on xx

I’ve not personally tried a Macom but I have tried asda and found it very uncomfy. It seemed to dig right in on my incisions when I first had my op so I got a post surgery one from matalan which was loads better but I’ve also got a M&S one supports amazing and really comfy. I take mine off a few times through the day just for a brether I’m 16 days PO and it’s done me no harm 🙂 xxx

i am going to asda and buying another. i will try and swap them. i was told to get one bigger than i am so i got 34 it is baggy around the incision area now but when i lye down it goes into a funny position. Thank you ladies i will buy a few more now and see how they feel on can’t be uncomfortable for another 5 week haha!! xxxx
