Post surgery bra
Hi everyone
I was told by my surgeon that I need to buy a bra for after surgery. She said KMart but they don’t have them. Big W have some but only from size 18 up.
any suggestions as to where I could buy one?
I’m in NSW in the Blue Mts
thanks 🌸

Hi Ann58 , it looks like you haven't yet connected in with BCNA's My Care Kits - a free specially designed Berlei bra and soft forms if needed. If you're interested you can order yours through our Helpline on 1800 500 258 💕
More info here: https://www.bcna.org.au/my-care-kit
Thankyou! I’ll call tomorrow
this is a great help 🌸
Ann58 Are you comfortable with shopping online? I just tried the Kmart website and put in the search term "surgery" and a few appeared.
I ordered the two pack with the zip front from Kmart after I had some difficulty doing up the Berlei post surgery bra that my breast care nurse ordered for me. The Berlei bra was otherwise nice so if you have a breast care nurse they could organise a free one for you.
Depending on which end of the mountains you're in, Target in Lithgow will have similar post surgery bras.
And if you have smaller breasts (and maybe for larger breasts but I don't have personal experience :), a crop top bra might be just as good although it can be harder to put on in the first days after surgery if your arm movement is restricted like mine was.
Thanks 😊I’m in the upper Mts so Lithgow isn’t too far.
I’m ok to shop online but I’m not sure about sizing. I’ll do a search using surgery only. It kept saying out of stock for the ones I found
