Post-Mastectomy Lingerie Love
We’ve said it in the past, but we have mixed feelings about Valentine’s Day, and maybe you do too – especially if you’re post-mastectomy.
Valentine’s week is here, which means the stores and your social media feeds are filled with advertisements for beautiful lingerie pieces. For many women, searching for the perfect lingerie set is effortless, but for some women, especially post-mastectomy, searching for pieces that are functional and fashionable can be discouraging.
We’re here to help. We’ve rounded up some of our fave lingerie brands that are post-mastectomy-friendly.
AnaOno
AnaOno is a “brand made for women with breast cancer, by women with breast cancer”. AnaOno offers up modern styles from pocketed bras, flat, bras for reconstruction and even mastectomy surgery must-haves. AnaOno’s bras have been featured in magazines such as Today, The Huffington Post, and People, garnering attention for their fit and function. AnaOno has also partnered with many breast cancer organizations.
Amonea
Two words: matching sets. Need we say more? Amoena offers robust options for your bust. From lingerie to sports bras to swim, Amoena has it. In addition to their great lingerie, they also provide education and advice for women on wearing a breast prosthesis, bra inserts, fitting and more. You can buy directly from their website, Nordstrom, Hudson’s Bay, or other verified retailers found through this link.
Red Fern Lingerie
If you’re looking for something sweet or sultry, chances are Red Fern Lingerie has it. Dubbed as the luxurious lingerie company “for sexy survivors”, they feature collections created by breast cancer survivors such as Hannah’s Hope and the spring collection, Joy of Marie. Upon check out, you can nominate a charity you want to support, and at the end of the year the most nominated receive a financial donation; and we’ve got our very own affiliate link! You can buy lingerie AND support Rethink. A win-win!
Mastectomy Lingerie and More
After her experience with breast cancer, Sue Teschke found it challenging to buy post-mastectomy bras for fun and not just necessity. Filling the gap, she saw in her mastectomy-friendly lingerie selections Sue opened Mastectomy Lingerie and More. Mastectomy Lingerie and More offers a large variety of mastectomy products while making women feel fun and confident in their appearance. The lingerie can be purchased online or, you can check out the store’s atmosphere and personal touch in Hamilton, Ontario.
La Vie en Rose
Did you know La Vie en Rose offers mastectomy bras? We love their inclusion of the Muse Mastectomy Bra. Not only are they promoting “beauty, functionality and confidence” with over 180 stores throughout Canada, La Vie en Rose is promoting accessibility online and in-store. The line is beautifully curated and is modelled by their muses, breast cancer survivors, boasting innovative gel pads, reduced arm chafing and more.
