If your hospital has a af nurse I am sure she would be able to help you. A good place to start at least. Best wishes.

Hello Chris147

The Very catalogue has a good selection of bras.

Perhaps a sports bra/crop top would be comfortable for you. I wear them as I have a pacemaker fitted. If you go on line at Very.co.uk you will find a good selection. Hope you find something suitable and comfy. Very Best Wishes. Susan

Have you thought of one of the pull over, sports style bras? Some of those are very soft.

Hope you find one.

Have you been fitted by a bra specialist? They can often be very helpful.

Have you tried Bravissimo? They cater for all sorts of bra issues.

Yes a soft 'sleeping bra' or post surgery bra would be good, depending how much support you need. I've just been searching for similar post breast surgery.

Not a lot on the high street so google and see where they have them in stick : possibles are Top Shop, H&M, Evans - Sloggi and Figleaves also online (or some department stores). Good Luck

I think all the above replies are great. I can't really add any more advice. I have a 2 lead pacemaker and find that bras with wide straps are comfortable. Good luck with your search.

Best wishes

Triumph makes lovely soft bras, very very expensive but they last.

Me again, I found Sainsbury's TU range do a nice soft Sports Bra, but opted for M&Co 'crop top' bra with removable padding - SO comfortable, I will return for the other 2 colours at £8!!!
