Post op bra help please

Ok, so I'm home from hospital today.

I'm wearing a 34d/dd royce but the band feels too tight. I bought a large macom (36 chest) but the boobs part doesn't seem right on that at all. I have a 34d m&s sports bra that seems to fit perfect but when I tried it on I caught one of my incisions and made it bleed a little so I'm scared of putting that on again because of the seams. Dunno what else to do.

I could order another royce with a larger band but it wouldn't be here till Monday, would the swelling have gone down a bit by then?

Any suggestions anyone please? x

If the royce is Bach fastening you could use an extender to make it bigger and more comfortable. Marks and Sparks sell them for a about a fiver for three x

It's not hun, the royce is a a front fastener with poppers, otherwise that would have been a perfect solution x

There was no way I could have managed with a back fastning bra. Xx

In what way is the macom not fitting properly Hun? X

It's as if my boobs are completely the wrong shape for it hun, not filling it out, I dunno it's weird :-/

by anneritchley 25th April 2015, 3:54 pm

That's because your boobs are sitting high and you don't fill out the bottom of the bra. All normal xx

I only had the back fastening m&s one on for 30 seconds when I saw a spot of blood from my incision.... It came straight off, maybe next week I will be able to wear that. Think I might just stick with the royce and just leave the bottom popper unfastened. It's so hard to guess the fit when your boobs have no feeling, no idea if it's too tight or not, all I know is it's crushing my ribs when I sit down lol x

That would make sense, thanks :-) x

I would try wearing it for a while, it will mould to your shape and give you the support you need whilst being more comfortable round the band area. Or maybe wear the m&s one but put a panty liner or pad on the area where it rubbed before, just make sure to put the sticky side on the bra not your skin :ok:

I've been and put the Macom on for a bit, see how I get on with it, it's not as soft as the Royce but at least I can breathe lol.

Thanks for the help everyone!

I would get an extender and wear it with the m&s one.

I've got extenders [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] but the seam is right where my incision is, think it will be fine in a couple of days to wear one of those though x

I'm using a Macom 34 back on loosest clips and feel I'm spilling out of it but it's comfy on my incisions I also gave a Royce super comfy but a size 36 f but bought off eBay and lady said she was a 32dd after her op and fits really well I also use a shock absorber in a 34e which fits great but is back fastened and needs extenders on all good fun hope you find the right fit soon as it's a worry with incisions x

by muddypaws 25th April 2015, 9:31 pm

Yeh I think I'm gonna invest in a bigger sized royce, I know it's expensive but I'd give anything right now for just 1 that feels comfy on my stange shaped boobs and keeps my incisions safe x

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] this is what im worrying! Im currently a 34 abnd but worry the swelling will make me sore and 34 may feel tight! So not sure whether to opt for a 36 band? Xx

by Loubeeloujack 26th April 2015, 8:12 am

I measure a 32 back so I jumped two bands if that helps x

by muddypaws 26th April 2015, 8:15 am

Vicky, def go for a bigger band hun, ive just ordered one but it won't be here till Tuesday so I'm gonna have to grin and bear this one till then, have to keep undoing it. I was even toying with getting a 38 back, but I'm hoping the 36 will be ok xxx
