| Can your bra do this? BEHOLD: the wonders of surgical bras...hook & eye clasps AND velcro!! |
Surgical bras are many things. Several adjectives not used with this type of bra: glamorous, sexy, and dainty. They are also not fashion forward. Got the general idea? I think so.

| After double mastectomy surgery (so not filling out bra at the time). |
In case you didn't know, one must wear this bra 'round the clock for several weeks post-surgery. All the time (shower not included, but sleeping is). :( Kinda uncomfy and weird after not wearing one so long, but do you what you gotta do to get [hopefully] well-shaped boobs."I'm going to learn how to unhook this bra
with just one hand!"

GOOD LUCK!

GOOD LUCK!
Even though the incision lines were taped up post-surgery, they still leaked a bit of stuff (looked to me like iodine or something similar - don't think it was blood, FYI). It wasn't bad the first day or two, but then started bothering me aesthetic-wise. After all, when you look good, you feel good - right? So I decided to put forth a good effort in cleaning the darned thing up.

| Surgical bra before the big cleanup. |

| Letting the bleach pen do its thing. |
Guess what? - It's nearly as good as new. Nearly all of the coloring left after a quick treatment with a bleach pen. Back into rotation the surgical bra goes.

| All clean. |

Martha Stewart and her handy domestic ways have nothin' on you! Good job, girl!
I was curious what kind of get-up you might have. This actually reminds me of my nursing bras (complicated in different ways)! ;) Isn't it amazing what technology there is now to support our bodies when they change? XOXO
Anon: It tickles me to think of Martha "having" to clean up a surgical bra...there's a craft you won't see her do!
Amber: Yes - funny you should mention; I was wondering about the functionality of nursing bras as I wrote this! So glad there are these alternatives while going through life experiences. :)
Hmmm...my husband & I have been thinking that we just need one great idea to make it big. Thanks to your blog post - I think there's a market for sexy surgical bras! Are there at least some options for different colors?
Love your humor!
