will i be ok not wearing my sports bra?

3 weeks till i felt comfortable sleeping on my side properly! Now im on my front again – yay!!

haha emijane its funny you shold say that thats how im wearing mine at the moment becasue i have just took small tapes off the wounds and the bras were digging into them, my inlaws have just been and i wondered why they were lookin at me funny lol x

i used to wear a vest top under my sports bra so it didnt rub….also i was given a tight elastic bandage that was like a boob tube, they are really good under a sports bra or on there own…xxx

I was like that on the first night i tried but last night i managed a full night was lush x

Yeh I wear non underwired too!and find a nice tight fitting one to bed as it kind of holds ur new boobs in place wthout rubbing!!had first night last night not wearing anything felt so good!xxx

I tryed not wearin my bra last nite with a loose top on and i felt too free i managed to go 2hours then i had to put it back on, im goin to try it again 2nite with a tighter top. I was told to wear sports bras all the time too but im wearin non wired bras i think they do the same thing and dont look as bad xxx

Hello girls,

I am now 4 weeks post op and have been wearing my sports bras 24/7 and they have made me so sore under my boobs and around the sides. I have just read all your comments and so have decided to take it off for the night and it feels like heaven so thank you all

Xxx

I slept on my side after about 3 weeks, now 4 weeks and can sleep in any position just very strange having big boobies to fit somewhere lol xx

Hi,
On my consultation Mr Adamo told me not 2 wear a sports bra at all! he said a normal bra will be fine but one without wire for the first few weeks!

hey i am 12 days post op and am supposed to be wearing sports bra night and day for six weeks. Under my right boob is really sore and eases when i take bra off, do you think i will be ok to have a break from it for the night ? X

how soon could you sleep on your side?

Never had baby but mine were real sensitive and found tops are way better than bra for bed!xxxxxxx

yeh thats what i thought too, yeh dreamergirl my nipples r rlly sensitive at the moment, tell u what it feels like (dont know if any of yous can relate to this) when you have had a baby and breastfeed yr boobs fill up with milk and you get a tight tingly feeling, feels just like that at the moment WEIRD! lol x

My bras hurt my scars too on a night, it makes them really sore in a morning and i always wake up thruout the night in pain too, im goin to try not wearin a bra 2nite see if it works i feel so much better not wearin one but im sure some1 told me that your only alowed to take it off for half an hour a day!! i dont no where that came from xxx

Try wearing a vest top I find it helps if nipples are sensitive xx

cheers, i left it off until 2am as i felt a bit weird being bare lol was definately more comfortable, x x

i didn’t wear mine at all after the first week! Was so much more comfortable! My surgeon doesn’t agree that wearing the bra does anything at all o he just said whatever you feel most comfortable doing.
Im 8 weeks post op now and have had no problems
