Breast cancer treatments are changing and evolving to meet the needs of women with this disease. Patients now have more options after bilateral or unilateral mastectomy procedures. They may not need or want to wear a prosthesis or a post-mastectomy “pocketed” bra. Many women opt out of breast reconstruction surgery altogether. They choose to remain…
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…
Ever had a bra that irritated your skin? Or one that pinched you underneath your arms? Maybe you are more sensitive to seams, hardware, and fabrics. Now imagine how difficult it is for those who have been through breast cancer treatments. They not only have painful surgical sites (with or without reconstruction) but must face additional…
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…
New intimate apparel brands like Red Fern Lingerie are changing the world of mastectomy lingerie. And it’s about time. Yes, women need more choices and access to feminine and sexy styles. 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…
Today’s boob job is about more than buying breast implants. The term is also used to refer to breast lifts, reductions, or a combination lift and augmentation with implants. It depends on the breast results you have in mind. Women who lose breast volume after multiple pregnancies or rapid weight loss will replace it with implants….
If you don’t know what a mastectomy bra is, it’s a bra with pockets to hold a breast prosthetic in place. They’re sometimes called “pocketed” bras by the lingerie brands specializing in their design and fit. There are alternatives to buying bras made to hold breast forms. Consumers can purchase “pockets” separately and sew…
I found plenty of beautiful mastectomy bras on display at the latest annual lingerie trade show. Well-known brands like Amoena, Anita Care, and Royce, showed off their latest fashions for women whose bodies have been changed by breast cancer surgeries. These bigger lingerie names design pocketed bras used to hold breast forms, or a breast prosthesis. The materials take into consideration…
Today’s guest blog post is from author, beauty expert, and journalist, Grace Gold. Since I’m open about the breast augmentation I’ve had, I field a lot of questions from the curious. And after “What is the recovery like?” and “How much does it cost?” the most common concern is how other people will react if…
