MaCom is SO uncomfortable, & nipples sensitive!!! :(

I’ve been wearing my MaCom now since saturday and I am literally ITCHING to get it off!! I had a reaction to the surgical tape, but a few hours after it was removed my skin was back to normal. Now, wearing this bra, it’s all inflamed and itchy again. I’ve tried wearing the asda sports bra i bought instead, but it only comes to just under the breasts and presses on my scars Also my nipples are SO sensitive, they hurt every time something touches them (i.e. every time i move). Is there anything I can do?

My Macom is itching like mad but i can’t find anything that supports my new boobs as well as it, so i’ve persisted and kept it done up on the tightest with the straps done up quite tight. It was itching me something stupid on my back and my husband has to keep scratching my back for me, i also had a weird reaction to the tape and the nurse was a bit shocked when my skin went dark red when she peeled it back to remove my drains!, but same as you it cleared up after a few hours.

I tried other sports bras, and they don’t support me enough and I just felt safer wearing a proper post op bra, i tried the asda post op but it doesn’t squeeze my boobs together like the macom and i think that’s important for helping them to move in whilst they’re healing rather than staying wide apart.

I put little squares of loo roll on my nipples inside the macom, how about trying to wash the macom first in something really gentle like a non bio powder suitable for babies or something?, it could be something in the fabric from the shop? xx

i used maternity breast pads under my vesttops when i was leaking milk and my nips were swollen n sore, these mite help or just use cotton wool balls x

Thank you ladies haha now I’ve got nipple pads on, but stuffed under the sides n back of the bra too. Looks ridiculous, but way more comfy ugh, hope this nipple sensitivity passes soon!!

ull laugh but yesterday i wore my new bra and noticed its abit uncofy duno if its abit of the material sticking in, well anyway i cudnt b bothered changin into a new 1 n i had to go work so i stuck a pad down the back hahaha the things we do. xx

I didn’t wear anything for two weeks – Mr Adamo advised felt really nice!

I wish i could do that but with all of the incisions from my uplift, probably not a good idea xx

Im same nipples really sensitive Macom bra rubs on them it’s like a mesh fabric I washed mine in non-bio didn’t make any difference it’s the fabric I put tissue down mine xx

Haha I wish i could go free, but every time I take my bra off I feel like they’re gonna fall off!!!!!!

i had really sensetive nipples the first week to 10 days after my op, i found rubbing vaseline on my nips helped

Thanks, I’ll try that. Just wiped them over with a baby wipe and they feel SO much better already
