Do I need a bra fitting service, or can I just buy a post mastectomy bra online?

The best advice I can give to anyone looking for the most suitable mastectomy bra is to get fitted.

Your body inevitably changes during and after treatment, so it’s a really good idea to get fitted before you buy any new bras. Finding the right bra depends on getting the correct size and the only way to get the correct size is to work with a good fitter, and availing of our mastectomy bra fitting service. Wearing the wrong size won’t offer you the support you need, and it definitely won’t be comfortable. Your upper body needs good support, and this is really only possible with an exact fit. So, before you go bra shopping, take the time to visit a specialised bra fitter and see what options are available for your body. It will save you a lot of discomfort, time, money, mistakes, and of course all those inconvenient trips to the post office with returns!

Remember too, that specialist bra fitters are trained and qualified to provide compassionate care, and help you feel comfortable, safe and confident.
