Post-Mastectomy Lumpectomy Bras

Padded mastectomy bras have been designed to hold your breast prosthesis securely in place, while providing the maximum amount of support and comfort.
With our wide range of post-mastectomy bras, our goal is to get you fitted with the best bra for YOU. There is something for everyone, from soft cups to padded cups, from lacy to plain, and a variety of colours to choose from.
You may be wandering what the differences between normal bras and post-mastectomy bras are? A good mastectomy bra has the following features enabling the bra to keep the breast prosthesis securely and comfortably in place.

  • POCKETED BRAS: Most mastectomy bras have pockets to house a breast prosthesis or form. Theses pockets are sewn into the bra cups and are made from a soft silk like material. The pockets are comfortable against your skin and further allows a small amount air to ventilate the area between your chest wall and the mastectomy bra.
  • GOOD PROCTORAL COVERAGE: The higher sternal section gives rise to good pectoral cover to ensure the bra sits snug against the chest wall. This will also prevent the bra from gaping when you bend forward. 
  • NO UNDERWARE: This is key that no restrictions are placed on lymph drainage with removed nodes. An underwire creates a narrow point of pressure that decreases lymph drainage. It is imperitive that no restrictions are placed on lymph drainage. 
  • BROAD SIDE WALL: This ensures that the scar sites and potential skin and soft tissue left post mastectomy is comfortably contained and supported. It also provides additional support and surface area to enable the bra structure to carry the weight of the breast prosthesis. The waist band side wall will alleviate weight from the shoulder straps - like a backpack does with a waist band.
  • HIGH STERNAL SEGMENT: This ensures that the breast and/or breast prosthesis is encapsulated. This will keep the breast prosthesis securely in place and prevent migration in the bra, as well as keep the bra snug against the torso.
  • MATERIAL TECHNOLOGY: Mastectomy bras are made from a high cotton count or microfibre material to ensure that they are comfortable to wear, soft to touch, and do not build up heat or moisture.
  • SOFT EDGES: Soft edges will ensure comfort while wearing as you might have areas that are sensitive post mastectomy and treatment.
