Practical Considerations
Hi, Immediately post-surgery, I've got a couple of questions that I'm hoping that you lovely ladies can share your experience on. (Not being exclusive, but I don't think the blokes are likely to h...

Target did have some front zip bathers that had pockets so you never know. I bought this one from speedo though in expectation I'd need a breast form (I didn't ). It was apparently designed by someone who had a mastectomy and radiotherapy and didn't want too much on show.

Also...a shelf bra type might be suitable also but you might need to try on. My pool sells them so you can look. But this might be suitsble as it has shaped cups inserted so you could utilize the pocket to secure the prostheses.
Although I believe some aqua ones adhere to you...so as long as a suitable tight shelf bra one might cut it.

I've never worn a prosthesis so I'm sure other ladies will provide more detailed advise as will your fitter.
