For anyone who has been through breast cancer surgery, finding the right mastectomy bra can largely help your journey to recovery. It becomes a matter of support, but also comfort and confidence during this transformative phase. This is why Mastectomy Bras are an ideal choice for anyone looking for intimate styles that care for you. A good post-surgery bra is not only practical but also one that you can hold close to you through it all.

While speaking about Mastectomy Bras, Lakshmi Murugesh, Head of Design, Zivame, says, “The idea to have Mastectomy bras for survivors came from knowing and identifying a community of women who lacked the right tools that would empower them. They coped with full recovery without the adequate support they needed post-surgery. We decided to help in ways that would positively impact their lives.”

Here are some of the things to look for when you want to choose the right post-op bra for you:

Finding a bra that offers the utmost comfort

Post-surgery, our body needs an extra touch of care and a mastectomy bra that provides the right kind of support is meaningful and helpful. It lends a sense of assurance while also letting one breathe.

Mastectomy styled bras come with accessible internal pockets, which allow one to use breast forms or prostheses. They also have easily adjustable straps to help cater to each body’s unique figure.

Navigating your choices better

When on the search for the right mastectomy bra, a few factors should not be compromised upon, such as –

• Breast shape and profile
• Bra size
• Level of support needed
• Scars and sensitivities

Why give up on style!

As opposed to contrary belief, there are a range of options to choose from. Mastectomy bras come in colourful patterns and designs, a perfect combination of stylish and supportive.

The bra, and more…

Remember, a mastectomy bra does essentially assist during a postoperative period, but there are other factors that help with recovery too.

• Consulting with a mastectomy care specialist is important to understand one’s specific needs
• There may be a frequent change in breast size during this phase, so measuring oneself often is key

Murugesh further adds, “Every product has been designed after collaboration with medical professionals and survivors. We’ve curated styles based on the challenges women face and the pain points that they want to avoid. The Mastectomy Bras from Zivame have a pocket that comfortably holds and allows the possibility of inserting and removing breast prostheses.”

Healing can be a comprehensive process but with the right support, it is possible to feel comforted and confident. Zivame provides options that are sourced thoughtfully and carefully and designed for a healing body and peace of mind.
