Post-mastectomy lingerie has been covered quite extensively on The Breast Life. But of course, after your surgery, you’ll need to wear more than just your underwear. And your regular clothes may not be up to the task. That’s why we’re featuring post-mastectomy clothing today. After a mastectomy or reconstruction, you’ll most likely be going home […]

Mastectomy bras are a topic that has been covered a few times on The Breast Life. It’s a niche but (finally) growing area of the lingerie market. Even luxury brands are beginning to realize that not all women have two full breasts. Mastectomy swimwear, however, still lags behind. It’s not that it’s hard to find; […]

Today I’m introducing readers to a new post-surgery and recovery lingerie and loungewear brand. Everviolet is a new intimate apparel line that caters to a demographic that is continually underserved. Estimates show that over 350,000 women received a diagnosis of breast cancer in 2017. But it’s not only medical patients who need more post-surgical options. […]

Launched in 2011, AnaOno makes lingerie and loungewear those who’ve undergone surgery for breast cancer. It’s a marketplace that’s dominated by bland and utilitarian-looking options. But as AnaOno puts it, “Our doctors are the experts in cancer, not necessarily in fashion options.” So they’re here to bring style and fun back into your wardrobe! Cassis […]

I love discovering new lingerie brands, but it’s a rare treat to see one launch that’s genuinely offering something different. Edge o’ Beyond was one such label when it debuted in 2014. Named after the founder’s first home, this is luxury lingerie with a unique twist. Almost every piece features small rings on which to […]

The Amoena Performance Mastectomy Sports Bra is suitable for medium impact sports. Made of moisture-wicking fabric, this mastectomy sports bra features lightly padded, wireless cups with soft microfiber pockets for breast forms. Mesh inserts in the center front, sides, and back band help keep you cool and comfortable. Wide padded straps distribute weight evenly and […]

As I’ve written before, post-mastectomy bra styles continue to change to meet evolving breast cancer therapies and surgeries. Because breast cancer patients may or may not have any reconstructive surgery, or often undergo several procedures over many years. Today we’re sharing a post-mastectomy bra review of a UK lingerie brand. Royce Lingerie has been in […]

This four-part wireless Amoena Isadora Soft Cup Mastectomy Bra comfortably shapes the breast. Pretty sheer insets have embroidered lace overlays for a feminine, romantic look. Cups are lined in mesh at the top and cotton jersey at the bottom for breathability. The top edge of cups has an elastic edge for a secure fit. The center […]

I’ve got news today about one of my favorite lingerie brands, AnaOno Intimates. I was lucky enough to attend their last photoshoot in Los Angeles. And I also got a chance to take behind-the-scenes pics and meet a few of their models. I’m a big fan of this post-mastectomy lingerie line because of their innovative styles. Their […]

What are post-surgical bras? They are specialty bra garments worn after mastectomies or reconstructive and elective cosmetic breast surgeries. Don’t expect to find many cute post-surgical bras around. They’re meant to be functional not fashionable. They keep the patient in mind, one who might have limited arm and chest mobility and often must accommodate drains attached […]

For far too long mastectomy lingerie has been focused on the utilitarian at the expense of fashion. It isn’t surprising, as designing for the particular needs of post-mastectomy women is no small task. It’s not as simple as adding a pocketed lining to hold a breast form (prosthesis) and calling it a day. Post-surgical bodies […]

But designs must also go beyond the usually pocketed bra made to hold a breast prosthesis. Post-mastectomy intimate apparel has to factor in the different […]
