I came across really soft bras for radiation from an American site, Makemerry. They are not cheap, and at present took about 3 weeks to get to me (a couple of days from ordering to arrival at the airport in Sydney then 2 weeks to reach me!) If you have some time before treatment it’s worth looking at their website.
I was lucky to find Amoena post surgery, front fastening bras at David Jones at a reasonable price as others at chain stores not supportive enough where my lumpectomy located.
Ordering more tomorrow. Thanks for everyone’s help 🌸🌸🌸
Hi - good news, I ventured out for the first time today and checked out Best and Less and Big W (on the Southside) and both have the same zipper front bras. Big W had a limited range ($15) and I don’t know what size they went up to. However, Best and Less had a great range in lots of colours. (White, black, beige, pink, red, stripes etc) and they went up to size 28-30 and they cost $12 each. The good news is they had loads of stock. I also bought a curved pillow as I have heard these are great for post surgery. I got one at Big W for $15. 🙂
I got a 20DD one in Target for the days I need to go out. Softer than the Berlei one that dug into me. Still uncomfortable to wear at the moment everyday.
That’s great you were able to find one. I am not sure about how firm they need to be either. Apparently Target and Big W may also stock similar bras to the Kmart bras. 😁
I ended up at David Jones with a soft stretch Amoena post op bra. Only size 20D I could find north Brisbane. I don’t know how firm they need to be - found Berlei uncomfortable. Bought 2!
