Now Post-Op Support Bras Are (Finally) Available On The HighstreetAdd us as a preferred source on Google »
When Facebook user Hazel Dowdall posted a photo of post-op support bras on sale in Dunnes Stores today we thought, 'That can't be a new thing, can it?' But a quick search of 'Post-op bras' or 'mastectomy bras' doesn't return any helpful information, other than to direct us to specialist underwear shops. If you or someone you know has recently been unfortunate enough to need a mastectomy, then Dunnes Stores have a new small range of bras that you might find helpful. Reasonably priced from €20 (as opposed to from €60 plus in specialist stores), it seems like the beginning of something good for post-op women everywhere. Screen Shot 2016-02-22 at 6.39.39 p.m. Hazel said that she posted the photo as her own mum had a double mastectomy and she has seen how difficult her mum has found it to find any affordable, and pretty, bras. Hopefully, other highstreet stores will follow suit. Join the conversation on Twitter @HerFamilyDotie
