For me, wearing the right fitting bra and being comfortable for the whole day is everything! It is the foundation for my clothes and there is literally every type of bra in my lingerie drawer imaginable.
To be described, as a bra nerd is something, in my opinion, to be proud of!
Over the years, since starting my mastectomy breast care service there have been many talks, given by me, on being breast aware, practicing good breast health, and the importance of wearing the right fitting mastectomy bra. These interactive chats between us women have been a great learning experience. Hearing all the different bra stories over the years has helped to pass on this knowledge to others. Not only do we all want to look good, we want to feel good and we want to be comfortable without having to compromise on style.
There are many reasons we need to wear a bra, the obvious is to look good and have correct posture. Not wearing a good fitting bra can incur spine or back pain and we don’t want that!!!
Fashion Bra – Anita Fashion Bra
Glamour is something every woman needs in her life so let’s start there. One of my very first clients is a fabulous woman, who is in her 90’s and wore plain, everyday bras most of her life. On our first meeting in her home, we had a bit of fun as she was literally, talked into trying on a lace mastectomy bra. She was hooked! She tells me now that she has never looked back and loves her lingerie drawer, which holds bras that would be the envy of many younger women.
This woman is a great example of a positive breast surgery story. Over 50 years ago, when she was in her early 40’s, she travelled from the Mid-West to Dublin, for surgery. There were no breast cancer surgeries in Limerick or Galway at the time and options were limited. Meeting this woman, every year, who is a breath of fresh air, reminds me of how fortunate we are to have come so far in all aspects of experiencing breast cancer. Her positivity is contagious and it is my pleasure to have introduced glamourous mastectomy bras into her life.
Nowadays there is literally every colour mastectomy bra, to choose from the various mastectomy brands. We are lucky to have beautiful mastectomy bras with lace, pearls, and design to make us feel as special as we are.
Don’t forget you are dressing for you! A glamourous matching brief can add to that feel-good factor when wearing a glamourous mastectomy bra.

A Sports Bra – Anita Sports Bra
Wearing the right fitting mastectomy sports bra will get you in the right frame of mind for exercise.
Exercise is encouraged after surgery so having a good mastectomy sports bra is important!
Even if you are only doing some gentle exercise, wearing the right mastectomy bra will keep your breasts in place by reducing movement when exercising.
Depending on your own individual shape and size, you will need a low, mid, or extreme control sports bra. The bigger the cup the more control you will need.
At Valerie’s Breast Care there are beautiful mastectomy sports bra from the Anita Care, Amoena and Royce Mastectomy collections to name a few. These mastectomy brands specialise in high-quality mastectomy sports bras along with non-mastectomy sports bras in a variety of different colours.
If you would like bras from their non-mastectomy range, my service can arrange a sew-in pocket to hold a prosthesis. Ask me about matching briefs or leggings. These beautiful pieces will get you in the mood for that, all-important exercise!

Strapless/ Multi-strap. Nicola Jane’s underwire mastectomy bra
Do you remember when it was not okay to show a bra strap? Thankfully, that changed and the bra strap with colour or lace has become a pretty addition to an outfit. However, there are times when we need the strapless bra, as literally no other bra will do. At Valerie’s Breast Care, there are strapless bras from both the Nicola Jane and Amoena mastectomy collections. They come with multi-way and clear straps for versatile styling and are perfect for not just strapless tops but halter necks, also. The clever design even gives you the option of wearing one strap under a one-sleeve tops or dresses. They are seamless for a smooth silhouette and lightly padded cups with underwire support to keep the bra securely in place. All strapless mastectomy bras have inbuilt cups to hold your prosthesis.
A good mastectomy strapless bra will be part of your lingerie for years as it is probably only worn on occasion. Mind it by handwashing only and you will have it for a long time.

Everyday Bra – Amoena Mona Bra
This bra screams comfort to me. It is one of the most popular and versatile mastectomy bras. Like many bras from the Amoena brand, it literally suits everyone!! Seam free cups are seamless and smooth under your clothes, perfect under a tee-shirt in the Summer months. Straps are adjustable and even increase in width for the larger sizes. There is padding on the straps to give us extra comfort and ease the tension around the neck and shoulder area.
All year round colours for the Mona bra are white, cream and black with different colours popping up in the Amoena Summer and Autumn collections.
Bra shown is the Mona from the Amoena mastectomy range, which is one of my favourite brands as it carries a beautiful selection of mastectomy bras for every occasion.

Brilliant website and very informative. You provide a wonderful service to women when they need it most. Wishing you continued success Valerie. Best of luck.
Thank you so much for your lovely message, Maeve. Really nice of you. Valerie x
I had my breast surgery in 2008 and shortly afterwards Valerie came into my life. I’m lucky that I live near Valerie so i was able to pop into her. I think I share the honour of been the first client to her shop and doing a documentary for RTE radio together.
From our very first meeting she put me at ease immediately. Valerie understood exactly how difficult it was for me to be there and going through this process.
After many visits and many cups of coffee we still remain friends and Valerie is still as caring, considerate and enthusiastic as she was on that very first visit. She will go out of her way to ensure that you are comfortable and happy with your bras and prosthesis. She has a fabulous range and selection.
Valerie is a tireless worker and is always a step ahead with her ideas and suggestions. Always researching to bring the latest to us ladies.
Valerie well done on the new website and every success in the times ahead.
