In the recovery process after breast surgery, comfort, confidence, and support are essential. And this is something that Bendon innately understands. With the unique needs of women during this sensitive time front of mind, they have created their Restore Mastectomy Bra range — a thoughtfully designed collection that empowers women to feel comfortable and regain their confidence post surgery. With three offerings — the Bendon Restore Mastectomy Wire Free Bra, the Bendon Restore Mastectomy Contour Wire Free Bra, and the Bendon Restore Front Opening Wire Free Bra — the range provides comfort, is stylish, and is perfect under a T-shirt for those dealing with the effects post surgery. The Bendon Restore Mastectomy range is more than lingerie, it’s a symbol of resilience. Each piece has been crafted with attention to detail, ensuring that every woman, regardless of where she is in her recovery process, can find a bra that feels like a second skin. In essence its thoughtful design is mixed with unparalleled comfort. So how does this range differ from traditional lingerie? Let us tell you.
What to consider when choosing a bra after a mastectomy
Wire-free
For starters, it’s a wire-free design. The elimination of the wire has been carefully created specifically to ensure comfort while still being gentle on healing tissue and providing ample support.
Soft and Seamless
The Restore range uses oh-so-soft double-layer fabric that’s mindful of sensitive post-surgery skin and works to reduce irritation for a comfortable all-day wear. It also features seam-free fabric backs, providing a smooth finish under clothing — something that’s often key for comfort. The seam-free fabric backs in the Restore range ensure that women can wear their bras under any outfit without worry.
Internal Prosthetic Pocket
The standout feature of the Restore range is the discreet internal prosthetic pockets, which allow for easy insertion of prosthetics ensuring not only a natural fit but a natural silhouette. For women recovering from breast surgery, finding a bra that not only provides comfort but also accommodates prosthetics with ease and discretion is crucial. This mindful feature addresses this with precision and care.
Contour Foam Cups
Shaping and support are important for confidence and the lightweight contour foam cups in Bendon’s Restore bras provide just that — enhancing the natural shape without adding unnecessary bulk.
Four-Row Hook-and-Eye Closure
Bendon realises recovery is a process, and the Restore bras are designed to adapt to the body’s changes with a four-row hook-and-eye closure. This feature offers additional fitting options, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit all day.
Choosing the Bendon Restore Mastectomy Bra range is about more than just finding the right fit. It’s about embracing a bra that understands and supports the unique needs of post-surgery recovery. With a compassionate and thoughtful approach, this collection is designed to meet the specific needs of women post surgery, helping them to regain not just their physical comfort but their confidence. Each piece is crafted with the understanding that recovery is both a physical and emotional process, and that every woman deserves to feel supported, in more ways than one.
