Mastectomy Bras

Mastectomy bras are designed to be worn by women who have had surgery to remove part or all of their breast. They are designed to give a woman a more natural profile. However, they are also designed to provide support for the remaining breast tissue.

Buying Mastectomy Bras

For this reason, there is a wide variety of mastectomy bras available.

Most hospitals provide advice to women who have undergone a lumpectomy or mastectomy about buying their first mastectomy bra. They explain the different types that are available and help you to determine which is suitable for you.

Where to Buy Mastectomy Bras

Despite the fact that around 60,000 women undergo mastectomies or lumpectomies every year, not many firms supply mastectomy bras. This is especially odd when you consider that many of those women will use these bras for life. The potential market for these bras is over 1 million women, so it is a significant market that is relatively under supplied.

Years ago you had an extremely limited choice and had to buy your bras via medical equipment suppliers. Now you have far more choice and most of that extra choice has come because firms are selling these bras on the internet. Provided you buy from firms that have been selling these bras for a few years and offer good customer support, you will get a good quality bra for a reasonable price.

Need Undies sell a wide range of mastectomy bras. They also sell mastectomy swimwear and prosthesis.
