Dive Back Into Confidence: The Right Mastectomy Swimwear for Your Needs
Post-surgery, the thought of swimming might feel like a whole new challenge. Whether you’re diving into the ocean or splashing around at the pool, the right swimwear is all about giving you comfort, support, and a little extra peace of mind. That’s where mastectomy swimwear comes in. It's crafted to support your recovery—both physically and mentally—by providing a secure, confident fit.
Our mastectomy swimsuits feature handy pockets to hold your breast prostheses firmly in place. This means you can focus on enjoying the water, knowing your prosthetics are secure. With adjustable straps, you can easily balance and adjust the fit to achieve symmetry, giving you that extra layer of confidence when you're on the move.
What is Mastectomy Swimwear?
Mastectomy swimwear is designed specifically for women who’ve had breast surgery, whether it’s a lumpectomy or a mastectomy. If you’ve experienced breast removal or changes in breast shape, this swimwear gives you a secure, comfortable option to help restore your confidence. It’s built with special pockets to accommodate breast prostheses, so you can enjoy a balanced, natural look while swimming.
Everyone is different when it comes to post-surgery needs, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. You may feel more confident with breast forms in place, or you might prefer to swim without them. The beauty of mastectomy swimwear is that it’s designed to give you the freedom to choose. Our range offers chic, flattering designs that feel as fabulous as they look, with styles to suit every body type.
Thoughtfully Designed Features for Ultimate Comfort
When mastectomy swimwear is designed with intention, it includes thoughtful features that provide extra comfort and address your post-surgery concerns. Here’s a closer look at the details that make all the difference:
-
Pockets: Our mastectomy styles include specially designed pockets on both sides to securely hold your breast form(s) in place. This design ensures discreet support with no slipping, so you can move freely with complete confidence.
-
Slightly Higher Necklines: A higher neckline can be a game-changer if you have surgery or treatment scars that are sensitive to sun exposure (or if you prefer not to show them off). The slightly higher neckline provides more coverage while still maintaining a flattering, stylish look.
-
Wide Underbust Band: A soft, wide underbust band helps keep the pockets and breast prosthesis close to your body, securing everything in place. This feature is particularly helpful for one-piece swimsuits, providing added comfort and a more secure fit.
-
Slightly Higher Underarms: If you have scarring in the underarm area, a mastectomy swimsuit with slightly higher underarms can help protect and cover it. It offers coverage without feeling tight or uncomfortable, striking the perfect balance between function and comfort.
-
No Underwire – or Soft, Flexible Underwire: Underwires can damage your breast form and limit comfort. That’s why most of our mastectomy swimsuits are wire-free. However, some two-piece bikini tops offer a flexible, soft underwire to provide support without compromising comfort.
