Almost a win. In the comfort department, B+ Sadly, it (gently) smushed my boobs into a flattened out, horizontal shape. Still looking for that elusive perfect bra. Janet from DC

I am tall so I always need adjustable straps in my bras. That reduced the number of options in a post-op bra. I had a breast reduction and this one was the only one that fit. The good thing about paying more is that you get more! Well-made & COMFY!!! Robin from Baltimore

Desperate search for a bra with cotton and no poking underwire that could support 34ddd/g. I tried a medium but still not enough room in the cup but the underbust seemed to fit. I will try this in large now and pray that it fits. Good support without that awful stabbing wire. Susan from RI

The bra is nice but stretches in the back so not as tight as I need it to be for compression. I like the fact it doesn’t have any seams. Renee from B

I am having trouble finding my size. I was pleased to find many options on this site. After trying this on I washed it. When I actually wore it I found the armholes to be very small and they rub and cut making it very uncomfortable. Also it says it is a post surgical compression garment but the actual cups are very thin and sheer and give minimal support and compression. Rhiamna from Indiana

Bought this for post surgery wear during the first six weeks. It's staying in my closet! Comfortable, supportive, gives a nice shape. Perfect bra to put on after an active day in a sports bra! Anon from US

I really love this bra, especially purchasing 7 others, looking for the right fit. I normally where a 38B and the large fit perfectly. My only complaint is sometimes the adjustable strap (love it!) comes undone but not enough to lower the rating. It comes up high under my arm, which I needed, and was so comfortable!

This is a very comfortable bra. I am currently wearing this post reduction. I like that it doesn't rub on any of my incision lines. My only two issues are sometimes the bottom fabric under the hook rub that area of my chest and I have had one of the straps pop loose from the hooks while wearing it. I plan to purchase another Annette bra. Maria from Ohio

The bra was great the first few hours- secure and comfortable. But once I started moving around in it, the thick material cut into my skin on the sides and became so uncomfortable it was unwearable. One potential solution is going a size up, but if you're in the first week or two post surgery I wouldn't recommend compromising on support. The other issue, though less of a problem than the fit, is that you have to hand wash this bra to preserve the shape and quality of the material. In the immediate post surgery phase the last thing you want to do is hand wash anything. So this might be a good bra if you order on the larger side and plan to wear it later in your recovery, but I don't recommend for the initial recovery phase.

Annette Response: The bra does not have to be hand washed. It can be machine washed on gentle cycle or in a lingerie bag on the regular cycle. Either method will not change the shape and quality of the bra as long as it is not placed in the dryer. Leigh from Washington, DC

Wonderfully comfortable bra for post breast reduction surgery. Stretchy, breathable and the bottom of the band is long enough to to avoid rubbing and irritating beneath the breasts. Highly recommend - I bought two! PostReductionLady from Baltimore, MD

I love it, but it did shrink a lot when I accidentally put it in the dryer. I just cut the back open and sewed some wide elastic in the gap to make it comfortable again. Jane from

The bra might have been comfortable, but it was cut way to high under the armpits, causing pain. I purchased because I was having shoulder surgery and wanted something with front opening and being able to unhook the straps. I tried this on before my surgery. It was very difficult to close the front with 2 hands and I would not have been able to do with one hand at all. Someone would have to do it for me. I could live with that, but the underarm pain from the high cut was impossible and I had the straps on their lowest setting - they are not very adjustable like normal bras. Barb from Phoenix
