PI Ideal Post-Operative Compression Bra - Seamless Cotton Bra for Breast Surgery, Black/Beige, Adjustable Straps

Ottimo reggiseno post operatorio, abbraccia bene e giusto livello di compressione, per la misura consiglio di basarsi sul torace perché la coppa grazie al tessuto elastico si adatta bene effettuando la giusta compressione.

This was bought to be used post lumpectomy/mammosplasty/lymphadenectomy, surgery. I was advised to buy a good quality, high coverage, compression bra and this one ticked more of the boxes than any other I’d seen online, so I thought I’d give it a try. Its overall quality is much the same as other post surgery bras advertised online (which I also bought) of a considerably lower price point. However, the design of this bra means it’s so much more comfortable and supportive, especially if you have to wear it day and night, for weeks. The higher front means less pressing or digging in of areas across the chest, the wide band means it stays in place with no moving or riding up and the adjustable straps and back, mean you have the ability to fit it just right for your specific sizing needs, whilst the front fasteners mean less stretching and bending of your upper body when sore or stiff, as you’d have with a more standard design. I was a bit concerned that that area might be uncomfortable for me, given my surgery site, but it’s soft and comfortable and causing me no issue whatsoever. Additionally, the seams and labels being on the outside means less irritation or discomfort in places you don’t want. If I had to find fault in the design of this bra, my only slight gripe would be that the strap (where the fasteners are) could be a little more padded - occasionally I’m noticing a slight soreness from the pressure there. But it wouldn’t be a dealbreaker for me and it can be remedied with little cushion type things, designed for this kind of problem. I did measure myself for this bra, but bought the size up, to allow for some give for significant swelling I knew I’d have. Depending on what kind of surgery you’re having, you may not need to do that. Lastly, it is worth noting the price. It is considerably more expensive than many other bras designed for the same purpose and if, like me, you’re going to have to wear one 24 hours a day for some weeks, realistically you’ll need at least 2 bras designed for this. Whilst I would consider it a reasonably expensive option, I can say, 6 days post surgery, that it has been the most comfortable and supportive bra I bought, and I’m genuinely so glad I did. The comfort alone, has been worth every penny, for me personally. So much so, I did buy additional ones and now will only be wearing this specific brand & design, throughout the rest of my recovery. Obviously, what works for me won’t necessarily be best for everyone, but I would say, if you’re considering it and it’s option for you from a cost point of view - it’s definitely worth a try.

Bought after BA as I have a lipoelastic PI Special but swelling made it too tight so didn’t want to spend another £68 so bought a bigger PI ideal. The compression is good as expected. The style is good. Before my surgery, I researched these bras and decided on getting the special as my staple. Having bought the ideal on day 8 post op, if you’re looking for the best one, go special and size up. The ideal doesn’t have full coverage and is shorter so sits higher into incisions. The material is odd compared to the special (special is cotton). The ideal is ok for a back up or a bedtime one. But is it worth the money? Hmm.. I would rather have bought another special and spent the extra £18.

Sehr eng (Unterbrustband und auch der restliche Stoff) für die reguläre Größe und dennoch kein richtiger Halt nach Brust OP. Praktisch sind die Haken mit denen man noch anpassen kann während des Heilungsverlaufes. Für mich war es nichts. Preis Leistung fand ich eher schlecht

Buon reggiseno, ma la taglia non corrisponde, è troppo stretto. Le mie misure sono 77 sotto seno e 94 seno, ho preso una M. Preso per dare il cambio alla 2 visita di controllo/medicazione (15 giorni dall'intervento) e sono riuscita ad allacciarlo a fatica nell'ultimo gancetto esterno.. (quello più largo) Da subito ho avuto la senzazioni che comprimesse troppo, ha iniziato poco dopo a darmi fastidio nei punti di sutura verso l'interno del seno e la fascia sottoseno ha iniziato a sdoppiarsi piegandosi a metà verso l'alto , due giorni dopo ho rifatto il cambio con il reggiseno precedente perché non riuscivo più a sopportare il dolore e avevo paura compromettesse la ripresa. Purtroppo non riuscirò a renderlo in quanto avevo già tolto l'etichetta.. Spero di poterlo utilizzare una volta guarita per l'attività sportiva, magari con qualche modifica P. S lo riproverò nuovamente tra 15 giorni se ci sono cambiamenti, modificherò la recensione.
