Undecided whether or not to get a macom bra

Hi girls, do you think I should get a macom bra? Do you think they’re very supportive? And worth the money? X

I only have a Macom and it works really well for me! X

I have a bog standard Tesco sports bra and it fits fine too 🙂 pack of 2 cheap enough 🙂 xx

Does it hun? Do you find it really supportive? Xx

I was in the same position as you last week, Tyler. After speaking to a few girls on here, they have fully recommended them. I’ve bought two of them. I know they are expensive but if they work I’m willing to pay it, especially after paying what we have for the op. The Macom ones adjust to cup size too, which is why I’ve bought them, so I don’t have to worry about it not fitting. Hope this helps. My nurse gave me a code to use on there too. It’s MYA2015. You get 15% off. xx

Ive found myself buying bras and I think they’ll be too big on the bust 🙁 ive already got 2 zip up ones, one is a E cup and the other is DD but I don’t think I’m going to achieve that now with 375cc UHP unders from a AA cup 🙁 xx

I think I’m going to go for a macom bra! I’ll still keep the others just incase they do fit but I need something I know will defo fit like a macom bra xx

Yeah they are supportive. I bought a back size bigger due to the swelling and a D cup fits fine xx

Yeah ive bought a back size bigger too but don’t think they’re going to fit on the chest 🙁 xx

They have to be quite tight across the bust to make sure your boobies stay in place. I spoke to my nurse and said don’t be fooled by the cheaper ones cos they may look and feel supportive, but they really do need to be tight to hold the implants in their pockets, especially when sleeping.

I’m not chancing the cheaper ones, I paid a lot of money for my boobies so saving a few quid on a cheap bra and not doing the job isn’t an option for me xx

Did you get a macom trace? Xx

I’ve got two Macom bras, I’m 3 days post op and just changed from one to the other. Hey give great support I would definitely recommend them! They’ve now got them in Ferarri red so it looks less granny-ish lol x

Ahhh have you? Do you just stick to your normal back size with the macom? Xx

I’ve gone with my normal back size xx

Which style of the macom bra do people buy, there’s a selection ? Xx

I’m about to buy one just so I don’t have to worry about the cup size, I asked my nurse about the back size whether to get a bigger one but was told to get the same as you are now x

I’ve got the i-Bra one in one colour and signature bra in another xx p.s. Hope you don’t mind the add Sammy-Joe x

Get your back size that you are now. The material stretches to whatever you become in terms of cup size

X

i got a shock absorber instead, as there much better and cheaper on eBay too.

I’m so confused girls, ive just measured around my back and turns out I’m almost 29inches, ive never been to get measure before but im currently wearing 34″ bras, what shall I do? Stick to 34 or go down to 32?? Xx

Danielle, would you advise buying the breast band from Macom too or is it just a waste of money? xx

Do your 34″ bras feel tight/ comfortable around the back? xx

It feels comfortable when it’s on the first out of the three clasps if you know what I mean? I don’t even know what back size to get now lol xx

@Tyler Id you wear a 34 back now and that fits you then get that. I tried measuring myself once and it just came out wrong lol.

@Hayley I haven’t got one myself so I can’t really. I’ve only seen one girl on here with one. I’d probably just go with the bra as they’re super supportive on their own.

X

Yeah, I’d stick to 34 if that’s what you are used to wearing. I measured myself at 32 but wear a 34″ back. I’ve gone with what I normally have xx

@Danielle Thank you. I think I’ll just stick with the bras then xx

the bras Im currently wearing are primark ones though, or do you think the 34″ will still be fine? Lol xx

Hmm, I’ve never had one from there so not sure what the fitting is like, sorry. I’d suggest you get measured hun if you’re not sure. I think you know your body better than anyone so go with how you feel. I measure at a 32 but know I’m comfortable at 34 so always 34″. Xx

Thanks Hun I’ll just got with a 34 I think 🙂 xx

You can always try it and swap it if it doesn’t fit 🙂 Hope all goes well. When is your op again, hun? x

That’s true 🙂 don’t know what colour I should get now haha! Aww thank you hope yours goes well too 🙂 mines the 27th March 🙂 what about yours? Xx

I got a macom and 2 Asda ones, the Asda ones are pretty good, but I prefer my macom feel more comfortable and supportive!

Mines the 28th! So close to each other! Recovering together then really 🙂 I bought white and black xx

Ive got a asda one to chel but not sure if it will fit as it’s an E cup :/

Are really Harley?!
I’m so excited! We’ll have to keep eachother updated on how our recover is going 🙂 xx

We will hun 🙂 It’ll be good to share my day-to-day experiences with you 🙂 xx

Definitely 🙂 we haven’t got long left now 🙂 so exciting! Xx

It is really exciting! So nervous as my family don’t know but I’m sure it’ll be worth it xx

@tyler hi hun I recommend the shock absorber ultimate run. My surgeon Mr kazzazi doesn’t advise ba girls using macoms as they are designed for ladies who have had breast reconstruction.
The only plus of macoms is you order your back size and the cup stretches to your boob size x

I’ve been thinking the same thing. At my pre-op the nurse told me to get a sports bra the size i want to be and also the next size up just incase. It would be expensive to buy for both sizes so i think the macom bra is a good option and will probably buy it myself 🙂

Well girlies ive bought one now 🙂 ive read mixed reviews of it but mostly good ones! Ive also got an asda, m&s sports bras aswell as stretchy ones that go over your head, hopefully I’ll be happy with my macom bra xx

All i used was macom bras they were perfect for me defo recommend them x

That’s fab to hear missy, yours look amazing! I can’t wait now

So what do you ladies suggest, the same back size as we are now.? X

Yeah Hun, I currently wear a 34 so that’s what ive ordered today 🙂 xx
