Quick q about sports bra

Just wondering how tight it should actually feel? I'm finding mines really uncomfy now under my bust, not that it's sitting on my incisions just digging in a bit. I'm usually a 32/34 band so I'm wearing a 34 C just now I'm just worried that a 36 would be too loose round me?I can pop a finger through the middle of my 34 bra and it doesn't seem too tight it's only when I'm sitting, is it maby just the soreness of the swelling do u think?

Hi I measured a 32 before the ba and was wearing a 34 on the las hook after the ba. I am now 3 days post op and had to tighten the hook as the swelling has gone down slightly.
Do your breasts feel supported in a 34? I think as long as they do it's better to go up a size rather than have them rubbing on your incisions.
Sorry if I'm not much help it may be worth giving them a ring in the morrning to see what they say.

Hi Misty, I'm 8 days post op and left in a 34D bra but today I invested in a 36C sports bra because the 34's are leaving me really red and sore around my sides...I'm not sure if its because I'm swollen or maybe because sports bra are made a bit tighter to provide better support? I don't know, but the 36 feels much more comfortable around me and the straps have been tightened to ensure my new boobs are all cosied in :) congrats on your new boobies!!

ive just gone and bought a few 34's cause that is what i wear and im finding them all uncomfortable apart from my macom bra, so i think i might try a 36 instead

Just get a bra expander rather than buy a whole new bra!! I found that once my swelling went down I was able to gradually tighten up my bras, so for the short period of time you have all that extra swelling going on (compared to how long you'll be strapped up in the bra!) you're just as well to just get an expander to give yourself a bit of extra band length and then when the swelling goes does, just do the bra up as normal!

I mean... just seems a bit of a waste of a bra for the sake of a couple of extra inches...

I had the same problem. Im usually a 34 and invested in a 34C...after a few hours the bra was so tight and hurt my incisions, so I bought a 36....Its been 7 days and I still find that now and again it hurts....even with the 36...I do fimd the swelling started going down today, so the cup is getting a bit looser...I might revert back to the 34 in a few days time...

Thanks again! My hubby went out to asda this morning at about 6.30 before he went to work to get me a size 36 bless him lol the bra extenders were a good idea but there was no hope in him knowing what or where to find them haha! It feels alot better on and I can sit comfy now atleast until the swelling goes down xx
