Post Surgery Bra
The post surgery bra ordered by my breast care nurse for my up coming surgery seems to have been lost in the mail.
Can anyone suggest where else I could buy one?
I've looked everywhere locally (Big W, Best & Less etc) for a wireless front closing bra but no one stocks them.
My surgery is this Fri & I'm starting to panic a little - the Berlie post surgery bra was the only one I could wear for for weeks after surgery last time.

- got the Amoena from Myer but it still puts pressure on my skin, especially towards the armpit and the back, areas which are both quite painful. so most of the time at home I am not wearing a bra.
another question, the armpit on the mastectomy side seems to be very dry and there is a strong odour. did anyone of you experience this? - I lived in the post op bra I came out of surgery in for the first 6 weeks as it was the most comfortable. I had short periods in the Berlei bra or bra free while it was being washed.
I hope the Berlei arrives soon - good luck in finding something comfortable in the meantime.
Jane x - I couldn't wear the berlei but resorted to maternity bras...as they are padded and wire free. If unsuccessful it is worth a try.
- Sorry...just saw you tried it. Probably too supportive at this stage.
- If no luck Target sell a zip front sports bra that might be okay.
https://www.target.com.au/p/medium-support-wirefree-sports-bra-style-cn1853gw/59254171 - awesome, thank you so much for the information. might go to Myer tomorrow, had mastectomy a week ago and the Breast Care bra won't be arriving for a while due to Xmas. tried one of the front opening sport bras from Target but it hurts :(
Good to know - thankyou very much for the link :)
Thankyou so much for calling today & arranging another to be sent Ann-Marie - greatly appreciated :) x
Thanks Cath - at $20 each, the Targets ones definitely sound like they are worth a try :) xx
Hi Paula - thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out :)
