After a breast cancer survivor has had a mastectomy or a lumpectomy, she usually has new needs in a bra — that’s where mastectomy bras come in.

For the uninitiated, mastectomy bras have special built-in pockets where you can opt to insert a breast prosthesis (a form shaped like a breast) on one or both sides. This can allow you to have a more symmetrical appearance or to look and feel like “yourself” again, without having to have breast reconstruction surgery, if that’s what you want. Thankfully, lingerie brands are catching on and creating mastectomy bras that offer all the comfort and convenience breast cancer survivors need, but also aren’t absolutely hideous.

In fact, we’ve got a mix here — comfy bras for relaxing at home, stylish bras for when you want to get dressed up and even sports bras for when you feel like moving. There are bras with padding and bras without. Many even have front closures, so they’re easy to put on and take off, if you have any challenges with your range of motion. There are post-surgery bras to wear while you’re still recovering — and more stylish mastectomy bras you can switch to afterwards. While there’s plenty of variety, there’s one thing these mastectomy bras have in common: no wire.

So, check out our picks for the best mastectomy bras to see if there’s one (or a couple) that might be a good fit for you.
