Best Post op sports bras

bayareamom · 10-29-2009, 02:43 AM

Hi Ladies,

I would like to know what type of sports bra to wear post op.

Are there any recommended post op sports bras?
I was thinking maybe a medical type sports bra?
I heard a front zipper is helpful but I'm more concerned about support and care than easy to use.

Thanks!

Under Armour makes a zipper up front closure a bit pricey but IMO it is the best most supportive bra out there and it is great for exercise when you are ready..

I second catnip, I bought 2 of the Under Armour Maximum Support zip front bras. They are a bit pricey, but I figure I will be able to wear them after my recovery for a workout. I feel VERY compressed in my bra and think it's doing a good job. I like that there is full coverage and I don't have any spillage out of the bra or anything like that. I found mine at Sports Authority.

Under Armour is rated very high, and is perfect! Nike also offers one. You may want to check out barenecessities.com they offer great bras - sports bras and everything in between.

I would try to get one Under Armour for daily wear, and even a Target one for sleeping. The ones at Target are made of the most amazing material and SUPER comfortable. I buy them one size too small so its a little snug and offers a little more support. Its perfect for sleeping comfortably!

Good luck!

honestly, i love the ones that come in a 3 pack at walmart i think they are hanes or jockey? they look good on and are enough support for me to make it through a serious cardio class. and they are cheap! like $10 for 3!

i was recommended the "shock absorber 5in1 multiway bra" and i swear by it! definetly the best bra ive worn. nice and low cut too so you can wear strappy tops! very comfy and supportive!

Thank you catnip and all the rest of the ladies for the amazing advice.
You guys definitely set me in the right direction, I had no idea what type of sports bra is best.

Thank you mai52takn for the link!!

How soon after surgery do you start wearing it?
Should I take it with me to surgery or do I leave there with just bandages?

Thanks guys! I love this site!!

How soon after will depend on your surgeon. Some specific a post-surgical bra and how long to wear it. Others tell you any good sports bra. And even some say nothing for a week, then use a sports bra. Definitely check with your PS. I wore a Veronique Surgical Bra for 3-4 weeks post op. Then went to sports bras at night, and underwire during the day. Your PS will advise you.

Glad you love it here! Its such a great site full of great women!

I just looked on the underarmour website and they have a nice looking zip up front bra in black for $45! It's not as cute as they come, but I looks like it'd do the trick! I'm in the same boat as you.. Trying to find a practical yet cute Post OP bra! Lol

HispanicMom · 11-02-2009, 12:21 AM

I got some JUST like the one my dr gave me at Wal-mart...two pack with black & white that clipped in the front. They seem pretty supportive to me! Plus I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on sports bras when I'm sure to be spending lots of money on new bras once I'm healed up

aderr02 · 11-02-2009, 09:34 PM

I am having Saline Moderate Profile Implants "installed" on the 9th- my surgeon recommended the "Hanes Classic Sports Bra" with a zip front. It has a wider band at the bottom (around an inch thick) that won't curl up into my incisions. (Crease.)

Hope that helps- I found it at Sears, model HC32 (Black or White) and it was $19.95.

"Installed"

gotta love you all!!

I am scheuled to have surgery next month. Should I get a sports bra before surgery? Did any of you feel like shopping after surgery? I'm having a lift and tummy tuck at the same time and have no idea how i'm going to feel.

Thanks ladies

bayareamom · 12-09-2009, 03:36 PM

Hello again,

My Dr says I need to be in an under wire sports bra.

Does anyone have any good under wire sports bra recommendations? Was anyone else told to do the under wire sports bra?

I checked out the underarmour but couldn't find any under wire ones.

Hmm, Im going to keep searching...

YummyAsian · 12-09-2009, 03:58 PM

one of my albums is public and the first pic where i am wearing a teal top is a sportsbra that i pratically lived in post op. the details are underneath the pic...it was $11.

that's what I am using now. They seem to be alittle snug but are really comfy to sleep in. For the first two weeks though, I wore a zipper front surgical bra.

neednewones · 12-09-2009, 08:11 PM

Arie has a great zip front sports bra that I have started to wear and it holds the girls in there really good. It is onsale for $19 right now.

geneevad · 01-11-2010, 02:50 AM

Champion has a good zip up as well. It's at MAcy's for about 45.

2bigdogs · 01-11-2010, 02:22 PM

I also bought the under armor zip up and it is definitely snug. I don't worry about the girls going ANYWHERE although I'm not into high-impact cardio yet. At this point I've only been cleared to do the stationary bike and leg machines. I was also told to wear a looser sports bra than I would wear at the gym for everyday wear for the next 2 weeks. I got some Hanes front closing sports bras at Wal-mart for $10 for 2 of them. (The material is a little rougher than I prefer but then again, the girls are super duper sensitive right now and everything is a little rougher than normal.) The support is not as much as the under armor so I will probably wear them around the house and to bed, but wouldn't wear them to exercise in.
