bathing suit tops! just tie them loosely

I also have diffuculty wearing a "normal" bra since my SCS implant (lamanectomy type) I do need support as I am not small in that department so I found sport bras online from Dream Products- or something like that-. I have 8 of them now in all colors -They are supportative and VERY comfortable.They are all that I wear-love them. I originally found them in the Sunday paper ads . I was hesitant so ordered 2 the first time -then all of the rest after I got the first 2. Hope this helps. Fondly-Carol

Some days I can't get one on.....so I don't get to wear one which means I can't leave the house

Unless someone clasps mine for me, I can't wear one so I have decided to use the sticky gauze pads (silly I know but it works out ok for me and I am not small busted) that way I can leave the house if needed. I know they sell them in different sizes at walgreens.

I should add......some days I can wear a 'normal' bra and tank top with minimal problems. I can NEVER wear a halter style bra or top.....that just cuts way to close to my burning area.

To get graffic here......I am fat. When I combine the high belly roll with a balconette style bra.....it really does just 'sit' there more than it pulls on the straps. Boobs on a shelf I love Lane Bryant's Cacique line of balconette bras

Hi Lisa,
I hear ya! I wear cammies with built in bra-all colors. Also in active wear for working out-there are comfortable tops. I do much better wearing cotton skirts or even summer dresses with built in bra. I live in Arizona!! So much more comfortable than pants.
For dress up occassion and good support, I wear Oprah's bra Wacoal

Glad you are one of our friends now. It's wonderful to have such support'
no pun intended LOL one of your new friends, loretta

Haha!

You are all too creative. I can't stand wearing a bra. I know that I am droopy (44 years old, two kids), its easier to not be obvious when its colder. I really like the idea of the bikini top. What about those stick-on things? Could get kinda expensive. Or, if desperate, one could always resort to duct tape!!! haha...

sleeping bras.... wireless... Victoria secret has one that I can tolerate most days. On some days I cant. try looking for a sleeping bra. They tend to be really soft and not tight or with metal clasps. I hate bras.

Hi! Since I had my SCS implanted it to hurts to wear a bra. I found what is called a sleep bra in one of those magizines like mabye Carol Right or something of the sort. I am not little busted by no means but these are made very soft and they clasp in the front which makes them easy to put on for me. I bought them to wear at night because I have always had a very big bust and it just feels more comfortable to have them enclosed and controlled. LOL Any way since the surgery these have been my life saver. My only complaint is that if its cold and your shirt is thin, the headlights might be on bright. LOL This is the only thing about wearing them out. If I could find a solution to this they would be perfect. Hope you can find a solution to it cause it can be quit embarrasing without a bra if you have to leave the house. Best of luck to ya!!!!

I use front hook bras because I cannot hook them in the back, and then put a Lidoderm patch under the strap on my worst side.

One of the best things about not working now is that I don't have to wear a bra.

I used to be able to use sports bra that pulled on over my head, but now my arm movement is more limited and can't get into one. I am ok with shirts that slip on, because they are not tight, but a bra that goes over the head becomes tight when it gets to the trunk area and I can't get my arms to the position needed to pull it down.

The downside of not working is that when my Cobra insurance runs out, I won't be able to get Lidoderm patchs - then I don't know what I will do.
