Trulife Naturalwear post mastectomy bras are designed to suit different body and breast surgery types. The bras offer varying levels of coverage and support from leisure bras, sports style bras and bras designed for everyday wear.
Trulife Naturalwear bras are pocketed so that you can choose to wear your breast form next to your skin with or without its cover or wear it within the pocket for extra peace of mind.
Many Trulife Naturalwear bras have wide shoulder straps, high underarms, extra hook fasteners and may be cut higher at the front for coverage and security. You may order bras directly online however we recommend that you have your bra fitting checked by your fitter. If you would like us to recommend a professionally trained Trulife fitter close to you please email or phone us.
Fitting Tips for your Bra
It is quite rare for a woman to remain the same bra size throughout her adult life. For most of us having children, changes in weight and changes in hormone activity will alter the size of your bra. Even changes in level of physical activity may change your bra size. Have your fitting checked ever year.
When you are wearing a bra that fits you well you will look good and your clothes will fit better.
The underband ( the part that goes around your body) needs to sit under your breasts and feel comfortable when you take a deep breath. The underband will follow a straight line around your body- if it rides up it is too big (or worn out).
The cup needs to contain your breast(s) and breast forms. It is too big if you have wrinkles in the fabric of the cup. It is too small if you have breast tissue over the of the cup or at the sides or in the centre.
If you are wearing an underwire bra and the wires are not sitting flat across your breast bone (sternum) then the cup is not deep enough to contain your breasts. It is very important to check the fit of an underwire bra after breast surgery - is it usual to wait until all of the post operative swelling has resolved before wearing underwires again.
Your fitter can advise you on your fitting, it is not essential to wear a mastectomy bra and there are usually a number of off the rack bras that are suitable for most women after surgery.
The aim of a fitting is to feel comfortable and gorgeous.
