CAREFIXBella Front Closure Comfort/Sleep Bra #3212

Fits well, very soft and lightweight, with a perfect amount of compression.

My surgeon recommended this bra for post-reduction surgery but I found it very uncomfortable. It’s good and stretchy but that was about the only positive. I read a lot of reviews before I purchased it and wish I would have believed them. The straps do not adjust and the bottom band won’t stay put - it rolls up which causes it to ride/ball up against the incisions under the breast which is exactly what you are NOT supposed to let happen immediately after breast surgery. Perhaps this design just doesn’t fit my frame - I’m very small framed (32 band) and even after my reduction I was still a D/DD. I tried all three sizes - which was a pretty expensive experiment because I couldn’t return them once I opened them and none of them worked. There was just no size in this bra that the shoulder straps didn’t hang off my small frame (I needed to be able to shorten them) nor would the bottom stay in place (it rolled up and onto the incisions on all three sizes). I have moved to a post surgical bra that is more “bra sized” - I’ve never found M/L/XL sizing that actually fits small framed women with cup sizes bigger than C and unfortunately this bra was no different.

It says padded adjustable straps but there is no way to adjust the straps. Disappointed. .

When I had breast reduction surgery a few months ago one one side, the hospital used this type of surgical bra to send me home. I really like it for the softness, the stretch, and the comfort. Plus it is stain resistant, which is nice, because my incisions drained quite a bit, but it all washed out of the fabric of this bra easily.A few weeks ago, before I had reduction surgery on the other side, I got the product ID and info from my surgical bra and found it on Amazon. I was thrilled! The price may seem steep, but for the comfort and durability, it's money well-spent. I wound up buying two more from Amazon so I can wear a clean one every night and wash them in between wearing. These bras honestly feel like I'm not wearing a bra, which is nice. I am so grateful that Amazon carries this particular brand and style number! I can't recommend this surgical bra enough!

After a long search for a post op bra that i could wear 24/7, and after trying on at least 15 different ones, this wonderful bra is the best out there.I am supposedly down to a 34C/D post op, but with the bruising and swelling I ordered this in an XL (2 days post op). Am wearing it on its first set of hooks for now, but as the swelling reduces I can go to the second set.PROS: -Front closure (so essential for post op).- Double set of hooks (to adjust as swelling reduces)- Soft soft soft material and no discomfort- No Uniboob, as its cut to hold each breast separately and not as one lumpy unit- No seams along the side, removing any chafing or discomfort- Low enough front to be able to wear like a normal bra under clothes without it looking like a surgical number- Easy to wash and air dry- Feels expensive and well made-Good support-Great value for price-Comes in a couple of colorsCONS: None really, the only quibble is that the straps are not adjustable, but maybe having an adjustable loop may have added to some discomfort anyways that is easily remedied by buying the other model the same company sells WITH adjustable straps (Carefix "Alice" Front Close Comfort Bra w/ Adjustable Straps #329150), which I just received and is wonderful as well.All in all: an excellent buy, I would highly recommend this, as it looks sleek, is comfortable and has everything I needed for post op care, without looking like a post op bra. The last thing one needs (after a reduction) is to be wearing a bra that is the size of a tank! Even in these early days I wanted to wear something that did the job and looked good.

A few days following breast reduction, I began looking for a couple of additional surgical/post-op bras to supplement the one I received in the hospital. After reading all the great reviews, I ordered both the Marena Sugical Bra w/ 2" band and this one from Carefix. Upon removing it from the package, I was immediately struck by how small it looked. However, I quickly found that this thing is VERY stretchy and that the size I ordered was just right. It's very soft and was tremendously comfortable for 24 hour wear. Like others, I noticed that the shoulder straps are not adjustable and I worried a little about the placement of the small plastic o-ring that joins the strap to the rest of the bra in the front. I was initially afriad it was going to put pressure on a sore area, but that turned out not to be the case. I wore the bra for nearly 48 hours before the first wash and was sure it would give the Marena a run for its money. However, after washing, I completely changed my mind. Upon second wear the elastic band began rolling/bunching up. Unfortunately, this caused a great deal of discomfort as it would roll up and apply extra pressure right along my incision. No matter how many times I un-rolled it, it would roll right back up again... almost instantly. Also, while I didn't notice on first wear, on the second wear I noticed after removing the garmet that it was leaving indentations on my breasts. The fabric is "gathered" where it come into the center on the front. The texture created was leaving marks. Initially I thought perhaps the rolling of the band and the impressions from the material might be due to the sizing, but I'm certain the bra fits. For what it's worth, the Marena also has the "gathered" fabic and I haven't noticed it leaving marks. If the Carefix didn't roll at the band, it would have been my go-to even without the ability to adjust the straps. It's super comfortable and SO light weight. Please re-inforce the band!
