60 days till boobies and im trying to get organised, Im struggling to find some post op sports bras, got two of them ones from primark to wear further down the line, and another from tk max, but I cant seem to find any front fastening bras! Iknow about macom but im gonna need two and I think they are abit pricey, just wondered if anyone knows of any front fastening bras? Or any websites? x
I had the asda post op bras and found then brill , aswell as the Primark ones , my surgeon advises against the macom and said the asda were just as good if not better xx
Did u get them online? I went in asda today but they didnt have much 🙁 I just dont think macom are worth the money when theres others out there for so much cheaper, I just cant seem to find them 🙁 haha! Xx
I had my front fastening one from asda online only £8! I wore it for a few days but didn’t find it very supportive? So went to primark and got a few just normal high impact sports bras from there and they’re fab 🙂 x
I think ive just found that one on the website but they are out of stock in small! Just my luck haha will keep looking though! Ive got them from primark too the 2.50 ones? They look supportive, the one from tk max I got doesnt look very supportive now tho haha just want them done now sk I can see haha! When did u have yours done? They look really good 🙂 xx
Just looked online asda and xs and s are out of stock! Xx
Yeah! I got a medium as they say to go one size bigger than you usually would and I’m a size 8. It was definitely worth having the extra space while I had all the swelling! Mine was 4 pound from primark but I did see the 2.50 ones yeah! So much cheaper than m and s etc and still do a fab job! I’m 17 days post op now 🙂 thank you! Xx
I might get a medium and a smal just to be safe 🙂 I need to find a v shape pillow aswell yet, haha! Oh god bet your so excited to buy new nice bras! I cant wait for that 🙂 xx
I got mine from Dunelm Mill cheaper than Argos! Yeah I can’t wait now fed up of my sports bras! Hard trying to wear clothes that cover them all the time! Will all be worth it tho 🙂 xx
Oh yeah I never thought of goin there 🙂 might try good old ebay aswell see whats cheapest haha! Yeah I can imagine! Not looking forward to trying find clothes that hide a sports bra haha! Xx
My nurse and PC have told me that asda do a 2 pack one black one white and there only £7.
She advised to go up a back size. I am going to buy 2 different sizes and return one set.
Macom bras are a bad idea they can sometimes push your boobs together instead of keeping them in place.
Try marks and spencer too! And ‘shock absorber’ ones which u can buy in debenhams! Xx
Hey girls if you go line on line with sport direct they are doing the Shock Absorber sports bra range cheeper than anywhere else straying from £10 to £24 they have different ones from clip front to zip up xx
I brought my Macom off ebay for less than 20 pounds. Also ive brought a zip one from amazon which should be here just before my op. Ive got a Tesco sports bra for later on in my recovery x
I brought two macom bras for rotation and I have to say Im completely disappointed in them now. I really don’t feel like im getting near enough support from them! Going to try and use a different one now x
Have a look on eBay, I’ve bought a few brand new from outlet stores online and they are posted so quickly! They’re cheap too, all sorts of different styles, front fastening and high support too xxx
I know. The feeling. Chick I took my Macon and shock ab sports bra my surgeon pick them both up and took one look at Macon and said take it back these are no good too week and tossed it back in my bag he said he could tell the shock ab sports bra wasn’t cheep as it was good strong quality and that’s wot u need x
Thanks for all your help girls 🙂 xx
Just. Go in try as many as you can and pick the strongest xx
How long will I need front/back fastening ones for? or does it not matter? Xx
