Girdles
Hi everyone. I am going in for a reconstruction soon and have been advised to purchase a girdle. The one that has been recommended to me is $208 each. Does anyone have any cheaper suggestions? Than...
Hi @SMcK, I purchased the surgiplus one as well as Kmart shapewear and Kmart post maternity shorts. I also bought a second pair of surgiplus in the size up as I thought they’d be too tight straight after surgery.
I honestly went commando for the first 3 days the thought of wearing underwear was just too much. After that I started wearing the Kmart shapewear (2 pack SF shape brief $40). After a week I tried the surgiplus but the shapewear was much better to sleep in and I wear that more. The maternity shorts look impossible to get on but they are ok once the tummy isn’t so tender. When I’m on my feet more I intend to wear the surgiplus regularly. I wore the shapewear to my plastics nurse appointment and she said they were perfect. I’m just down the road from you in Craigieburn. I hope all goes well for you and wish you the very best.
