Swim Wear
Hi I am 34 and had a bi lateral mastectomy and I am pretty self concious of all my scars as I have had to have a number of ops. What swim wear do ladies use that have had this procedure ? Where i...
I'm kinda in your position -only have the one boob and hate leaning over. Speedo and Amoena make mastectomy swimmers and you might be able to order online but they are abit pricey.You can also get special prosthesis for swimwear where you were fitted for your normal prosthesis-again,pricey. Here is what I've done- I bought a nice swimmimg costume with inbuilt cups from Millers,on special for $13 last year.I got some black stretchy fabric from spotlight($4) and I cut out and sewed a pocket(by hand) on the inside cup,making sure I left a gap at the side to slide in a soft form - the one I got with my free Berlei bra.Then I cut out a triangle,double the fabric so the fold is at the top and I sewed that across the neckline(on the inside)-if you can imagine a fake cami. So with the higher neckline,I can bend over with confidence. It wasn't hard to do and soooo much cheaper than the "proper"ones.I actually found most of them too low anyway. If I can take a photo and post it up,you might get a better idea.How's your little boy going by the way?
