The Best Post-Mastectomy Bra for Sleeping
If you’re the kind of person who used to look forward to falling asleep blissfully braless, it can be hard to transition into a new chapter of life after your mastectomy, where you have to wear a bra in order to recover properly. Sleeping in the post-surgical compression bra prescribed by your doctor after surgery was the worst. It was stiff, itchy, pokey, and pretty uncomfortable, not to mention, UGLY.
Thankfully, you don’t have to wear your compression bra too long after surgery, and with AnaOno, you can transition into wearing something way comfier after the compression phase and your breast surgery. Something soft, pretty, cozy, and feels like it’s made to sleep in (even if it wasn’t, like our sexy bras!).
We know you’re longing for the day of comfortable options that don’t make you want to rip off your bra and to find something that helps you REST, and supports you in your sleep, regardless of your breast surgery or how long ago it was. Here’s our list of pretty, cozy and comfortable bras to sleep in after your breast surgery. These lounge and sleep bras are so soft, you will forget you are wearing it altogether.
Softest Bra To Sleep In After Breast Surgery
Picture this: You come home from a long day at work wearing the post-surgery bra you put on that morning and…don’t feel like you need to take it off. You throw on your comfiest t-shirt, make dinner, put some Bravo on, and before you know it, it’s time for bed and…still don’t feel like you need to take your bra off. It doesn’t bother your scars or sensitive skin, it’s super breathable, supportive and is crazy soft (maybe even softer than your silk PJs). You fall asleep wearing the pretty post-surgical bra that got you through the day, and not one time did you wake up in the middle of the night feeling like you are being poked, uncomfortable or suffocating. Sounds like a dream, right?

What to Look for In a Post-Surgical Sleep Bra: Comfortable Straps

Whether it’s day or night, you’ll want a bra after breast cancer surgery that has flexible and adjustable straps that don’t give you discomfort. The Monica has wide, convertible, shoulder-friendly straps that will lay smooth against your skin while you sleep, and won’t dig into any sensitive areas. This lumpectomy bra also has a wide back bridge to provide even more comfort to your post-surgical body as you sleep, and is comforting against sensitive skin after radiation.
This wire-free bra for breast surgery comes with pockets that work for those with one breast after unilateral mastectomy or for those after double mastectomy who have either opted for reconstruction or not.
After you are cleared to transition out of your doctor prescribed compression bra, you can wear The Monica in all stages of your recovery journey during surgery. This includes post-mastectomy, lumpectomy, reconstruction, DIEP flap, explant, and revision surgery. The design also provides relief during treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy and can soothe those suffering from sensitive skin, and chronic pain. Made special for breast cancer previvors, thrivers, and survivors, Monica will help you feel your most comfy for bed, or wherever you want to wear it.
