I’ve had a double mastectomy and want to start wearing lingerie again, but I’m nervous about finding something that feels comfortable and beautiful. Where should I begin?
From Expert: Stela
Every woman deserves to feel confident and beautiful in lingerie, no matter her journey. When Zara came into the fitting room, she shared that she’d recently undergone a double mastectomy and wanted something that simply fit and made her feel like herself again.
The fitting started tenderly- bra shopping after surgery can be emotional. But the moment she slipped into the right fit, everything shifted. Her shoulders relaxed, her posture lifted, and the tears turned from sad to joyful. The first piece that made her light up was the Romy Bralette - soft, delicate lace that moved with her body and celebrated her shape rather than hiding it. From there, she found even more styles she loved, each one helping her rediscover that lingerie can be both comfortable and beautiful.
Finding lingerie after a mastectomy is deeply personal. Look for pieces that offer gentle support, smooth linings, and flexible lace rather than padding or underwires that may feel restrictive. And most importantly, choose styles that make you feel confident when you look in the mirror.
