Honest Reviews from Patients
DG
I have been wearing this bra 24/7 for the last 2 months since my double mastectomy. It’s totally worth the price. I bought 2. There are very few plus size options. The biggest one my surgeon’s office had was way too tight. I got the 4XL Plus and it fits perfectly. I was a 52DD or E. I didn’t have reconstruction. There are a couple of spots that are still healing. This bra keeps the gauze pad in place and smooths out my lumps and bumps, such that I’m not so self conscious while I’m healing. I’d give this quality product a higher score if it were possible.

Thank you for creating this product. It improves my comfort level tremendously as I am recovering from open heart surgery.
Elizabeth K.
Total game changer after my mastectomy. Being able to attach the drain so I didn't have a belt on or wasn't sloshing in pockets made me more comfortable and confident. The drain plastic on my skin was annoying so I put it in a sock. The bra itself is comfortable and the pockets fit good size ice packs. Absolutely recommend post surgery!

I had shoulder replacement surgery and needed a bra. I am able to close the front fairly easily and the adjustable straps give me the comfort level needed all through the day.
Andrea B.
Comfortable, easy to close. Great bra band -wide enough not to curl.

Excellent quality! Could definitely recommend this product. Very well made & will last plus attractive.

Purchased two Shirl bras post-breast reduction and am very happy with them! I sized up according to the site chart, as I had DD+ cups before my reduction, and got a perfect fit. I was worried when I received the bras that the front would be too shallow and I’d have accidental nip slippage, but there’s no chance of that happening.
