Mastectomy Bras, Post-Surgery Bras & Pocketed Bras

Mastectomy bras are designed for comfort and balance after breast surgery. They include soft, built-in pockets to hold breast forms or partial shapers securely in place, with wider straps, higher underarm coverage, and gentle fabrics to protect sensitive areas. The result is a natural-feeling fit that looks smooth under clothing and doesn't feel like a medical device.

Post-surgical bras, also called post mastectomy brassieres, are worn immediately after surgery: light compression, front closures, ultra-soft fabrics. Healing first, everything else second.

Compression bras after mastectomy provide gentle, even pressure to minimize swelling and promote circulation during early recovery.

Pocketed everyday bras are your long-term mastectomy bras. They hold breast forms securely once healing is complete and come in a wide range of styles, from seamless T-shirt bras to mastectomy camisoles and cami styles to lace. This is where most women spend most of their time.

Yes. Bilateral mastectomy bras are designed to provide a balanced, symmetric fit without natural breast tissue on either side. The pocketed styles in our collection work equally well for unilateral and bilateral mastectomy. Both sides hold breast forms securely. If you're not sure which style is right for your situation, our mastectomy bra buying guide covers bilateral fit in detail.

Absolutely. Many women wear mastectomy bras purely for their comfort, coverage, and fit. The interior pockets lie flat when not in use, so you can wear them with or without a prosthesis. Whatever feels right for you is the right answer.

Start with your band measurement and choose cup size based on your breast form or remaining breast. Our mastectomy bra buying guide walks through measuring step by step with brand-specific fit details. If you're unsure, call us. Getting sized right the first time makes a real difference.

Many insurance providers cover mastectomy bras and breast forms — including bras for cancer patients — with a prescription from your physician. The Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 (WHCRA) requires most insurers to provide this coverage. While we don't file claims directly, we'll give you detailed receipts and all the documentation you need to submit for reimbursement. Call us if you need help navigating your coverage. We've helped a lot of women through this process.
