Description
Breast cancer treatments are vicious on tender breast tissue. Finding comfortable undergarments that provide a modicum of support without chaffing, rubbing, or pinching is a challenge. Address the challenge with these super soft and stretchy bandeau tops with removable breast pads.
*NOTES:
1. These tops are excellent for breast surgery patients, but do not have pockets for breast forms like traditional Mastectomy bras. Ergo, they are ideal for lumpectomy patients, but are a bit more limited for Mastectomy patients, depending on their shape and size needs. They could work well for patients with surgical expanders, but are a poor choice for patients who go flat post-op.
2. The sizing is a matter of preference - do you like the top to fit snug or loose? We like to tell folks that anyone with an A/B cup size most likely will prefer the XS/SM size, and D/DD the M/L/XL. C's could go either way, depending on fit preference. The actual top dimenstions are:
XS/SM: 5″ x 9″ x 0.2″ (12.7 x 22.9 x 0.5 cm)
M/L/XL: 6″ x 9″ x 0.3″ (15.2 x 22.9 x 0.8 cm)
Why It Matters
A soft, wire-free bandeau offers gentle support without digging in or restricting movement. It’s designed to feel barely there, making it easier to get through the day with less discomfort. Small adjustments like this can bring a sense of ease back to something as simple as getting dressed.
