Sports bra hell

Why can I not seem to get a sports bra that is comfy. Can any of you ladies help me please. So I am currently on my 4th sports bra the m&s zip up front one, had read on here how comfy they are but for me it just isn’t doing it, really digging into my incisions. I don’t want to spend a fortune on a bra now as I’ve already spent so much, anyone have any ideas, I am only 2 weeks po so still looking for something with lots of support

Hi Liz I’m the same. I do however love the primark seamless ones for £2.50 and at that price it’s worth a try. Xx

Hi Liz i am the same and at 2 weeks, ive tried loads even the macom is very tight and un comphy. im having trouble with my nipples every sports bra material is irritating them so i bought the post op bra from asda and that seems to be doing the trick. xx

I got the high impact sports bra from asda. I ordered it online and collected in store Its black and pink and only £8 the band sits low enough to not sit on my incisions. Ive been wearing since straight after the op and its so supportive and comfy. I havent even tried the macom I bought yet xx

Hi guys, thanks for responding, any day now Ill feel ok I keep telling myself lol. I’ll give them both ago, it’s hard cos I try them on and think yeah that’s better, later that day I’m back to oh no lol

Mel if you’re only 2 weeks you should not be wearing those £2.50 bras from Primark. They’re basically like a crop top and aren’t supportive enough for your implants :/

Material of macom is horrible!

Chelsea really? I find them more supportive than my macom and asda post surgery bra?!? Maybe that’s why I still don’t feel 100%. What did you wear? X

I wore a Macom bra up until now (4 weeks PO). & got a high compression sports bra from debenhams yesterday x

I’ve got asda and marks and Spencer’s ones and they are so comfy! X

Thanks guys, think I’m going to order one from asda right now, fingers crossed it does the trick, still another 8 weeks until I have post op with surgeon…

Just been into matalan, got 2 really cheap too, tried them on felt pretty comfy but only time will tell. Has anybody read that anyone else has matalan ones? One is low impact is that still ok do ya think?

They’ve got good ones at asda xxx

The macom has that horrid material so your incision can breath and dry.
It clings to your nipples and really hurt me but then I had an uplift so had my nipples moved. When I swelled it got so tight I wished id bought a bigger size. But I persevered with it and at 5wks post op I’ve just started to wear other sports bra’s. But none of them (I HAVE 7 DIFFERENT ONES) are as supportive as my macom.. when I lie down they fall out of the sides and when i’m in the car I have to hold them. I have the M&S zip up bra and I cant wear it as it rubs my long incision underneath. So I keep swapping back to my macom. Aaaarrrrhhhh

This matalan one, not the low impact the firm control seems to have done the trick, is quite tight but isn’t causing no problems 🙂
