Padded Bras for Breast Cancer Patients

At AnaOno, we've created padded bras that are perfect for wearing during mastectomy recovery and beyond. Here you'll find the best padded bra for breast cancer patients to wear in the days, weeks, and even years post-surgery. What makes these bras so great for recovery and beyond? They were designed specifically for breast cancer thrivers and survivors!

Each one has healing-friendly features, such as built-in pockets for mastectomy bra inserts like expanders, prostheses, and lightweight breast forms. Front closures and soft, stretchy fabrics also make dressing and post-surgery care a whole lot easier. We believe you deserve the very best, and AnaOno mastectomy bras help provide it.

The Benefits of a Padded Bra in Healing

Why choose a padded bra? There are many benefits to padded bras, including providing a little extra support and keeping the nipples from showing through. For those of us who have been through breast cancer surgery, padded bras can help provide shape, even out the silhouette, and give the bust a fuller look. Bras with pockets for padding are ideal for single mastectomy, double mastectomy, reconstruction, and more. Here are our picks for the best ones for each and every breast cancer thriver.

Monica Full-Coverage Bra

The Monica is your new full-coverage best friend. It's a favorite among breast cancer thrivers and survivors who have had single or double mastectomies. With wire free cups, incredibly soft fabric, and a modest neckline, this bra will have you feeling comfortable and covered every time you wear it.

This padded bra also has adjustable and reversible straps for a customizable fit and style. You can have a traditional strap fit or a flirty cross-back depending on your mood and outfit of the day.

Support is an essential function of any good bra, and the Monica's got you covered on that end. A wide back bridge makes it extra supportive across your back and underarms. It's sure to become your new favorite bra.
