Bra For Comfort After Radiation

A MyBCTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
West Orange, NJ

Good morning! I cannot go without a bra, but my breast is tender & swollen from radiation. Is there anyone who uses a comfortable type of bra that feels good? The skin under my breast is sore & that is right where all of my bras sit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!! 😊

Bell sells their own bra New Directions that is extremely soft and comfy. Reminds me of the Teen Angel my mom bought me as a 12 year old. Buy one size up. Just noticed spelling of store. Belk not Bell

Yes I agree sports bars are great .. also I wore tank tops that has extra padding in the chest area under my clothes . I also wore a ton or aloe vera and aquaphor during radition as well !!!

Sports bras from Wal-mart worked for me. Turn them inside out if they become uncomfortable. Less pressure on your skin.
NI UNDERWIRE.

Check athletic bras also. I bought one that is quite comfortable. I will be honest never did wear one during radiation. Always wore a sweatshirt over t-shirt during. Afterwards athletic bras.
