Is your bra helping or hurting recovery?

Did you know that something as simple as your bra choice can significantly impact your recovery comfort?

After abdominal or pelvic surgery, everything shifts a bit—including how weight and pressure distribute across your torso. 

Many women find that their pre-surgery bras suddenly dig into incision sites, create uncomfortable pressure points, or just don't feel right anymore.

Too-tight bras can restrict breathing, impacting pressure management and causing symptoms like back pain and phantom tampon.

This isn't just about comfort. The right support can improve your posture, reduce strain on healing tissues, and even help you breathe more fully. 

And better breathing means better oxygenation, which supports healing.

Have you changed your underwear preferences since surgery? What's working for you now? 

Sometimes the most helpful tips come from others who've been there, not from medical textbooks!
