Mastectomy Breast Cancer Recovery Shirt & Drain Pouch Bundle,Black,Large

It has been two weeks since my bilateral mastectomy and I have never been without one of these three products during the entire time. I took the top to the hospital with me and put it on the morning after the operation. My nurse freaked out, she loved it so much. She sent in three other nurses to see it. Everyone of them asked for the brand name and where I got it. The first words out of my plastic surgeons mouth during his rounds were, "what are you wearing?" He loved that the fabric was very light and soft, also the Velcro and of course the pockets for my drains. Your chest will be super tender after you operation, you want the lightest, softest fabric possible against you skin. He also got the brand name. I loved that I wasn't wearing a hospital gown my first time walking the halls of the hospital (make sure you take the top, a pair of PJ pants and some slippers to the hospital). I wore it home and for the first few days of recovery. Now I wear the top at night (still haven't gotten my drains out, ugh). I wear the apron/pouches during the day and it makes drain management super easy. I have no problem wearing the drain pouch around my waist with my tshirt and jeans. I figured out to turn the pouch backwards so the label doesn't show and then if my top isn't long enough to cover it, it kind of looks like a fanny pack (I feel so 80s). I use the shower pouch around my neck when i shower. These drains are a pain, but this kit makes them manageable.I'll be honest I wasn't to impressed when the stuff first arrived, I even rolled my eyes a bit when I saw the shower pouch. Boy was I wrong. You need every one of these items after your mastectomy. The transition is tough enough, these make it a little easier. Hoping to get my drains out by Friday (15 days after surgery) and maybe I won't need these anymore. I won't be sad to see them go, but I'm sure glad I had them when I needed them.

I'm a second time around breast cancer patient and remembered how awkward surgical drains were - not to mention uncomfortable and even painful. I bought this top specifically to come home from the hospital in. WOW - I love it! Not only did it slip on very easily, but the drain pockets are a god-send. My daughter said I looked very stylish and I feel that way. It's light and breezy. I had my mastectomy a week ago and have lived in this shirt. Washed twice - and it is just amazing. I feel good, I am comfortable, and I can manage putting it on, taking it off, and emptying my drains all by myself. If I had any changes I think I wish there was an external pocket so I could carry my cell phone around too. Nevertheless I have gone to the store or doctor appointments wearing the top and feel confident and that I'm dressed "normally" and not wearing something where the drains will show. Thank you!!

Purchased this product for my daughter that went through a double mastectomy. She said the shirt was a Godsend. Best product ever. It gave her freedom to move around while carrying four drain tubes. Should be part of every hospital recovery package for every patient that has to have drain tubes. Female and males. Customer service is above and beyond. 110% great....

Great idea but poorly made. I didn't realize until after my mastectomy that it arrived with the stitching on the Velcro coming undone, so now I'm doing recovery without all the closures closing fully- worrying about a return is not what in want to do right after a mastectomy! I almost love it, but hate that it started falling apart the first time I opened it. Definitely not worth the inflated price.

This shirt saves me from unbelievable inconvenience after full torso lipo and tummy tuck, with two drains. The shower apron helped tremendously with bathing, but the cloth apron didnt fit well and slid. Luckily the shirt pockets more than did their job! I highly recommend to others for tummy tucks, mastectomies, or hysterectomies.

Very disappointed and way over priced for the product offered. Ugly looking. Cheap

The extra mesh bag was great for showering, and the small fabric pouch we used for ice packs while the drains were in the shirt.

I have to say that I don’t know what I would have done without these tops. I ended up getting 3 of them and I wore them, almost every day, for close to eight weeks. I kid you not! I had a bilateral mastectomy in September and then 4 weeks later, I had to have an axillary dissection and more breast surgery. Believe it or not, I had one drain that was in for 8 weeks! Seriously, don’t hesitate to buy one of these tops and don’t buy one, buy at least 2, so you can always have one in the wash. I was not allowed to shower for eight weeks, but I did use the shower pouch, when I was down to one or two drains and was able to get in and out of the tub. I didn’t use the black pouch, but I have read that others loved it. Give yourself options! I was in the hospital for 3 days each time and wore the blue and black tops with printed pj shorts on days 2 & 3 when I walked in the hallways. My fave was the black, because it made me feel like I was wearing a regular top when I had to leave the house to go to one of my many doctors appointments. My Boston hospital gave me a few cute Velcro tank tops, but the pockets were too high up, so the drains bulged out of my sides, awkwardly. The pockets are low, on these shirts and there are 2 on each side. The fabric is nice and lite, as well. Just remember to line up the Velcro tabs before you throw them in the wash! Oh, also I wore a med top before my 1st surgery and wore these medium tops and they provided plenty of extra room, without looking silly.
