I also wore Cobbie bras during the entire expansion process, and radiation, they worked great. I left the hospital with a cami type bra that zipped up the front and had inside pockets for those stupid drains. Once you get the drains out you could also try a zip up sports bra, just get one bigger than you would normally wear.

I actually bought a bra specifically for tissue expanders , paid $65.00 for it and ummm yeah didn't work out to good. So I then went online and bought a Coobie Bra and very glad I did. It actually allows for padding to be placed in it as well. It's very comfy. My tissue expanders are uneven at this time because of healing issues from my bmx . When I put this bra on with the pads it really does balance everything out. My left t/e has 250 cc and my right has 80cc approx. when I put onregular clothes you don't even notice the difference .sometimes I forget I even have it on. Mind you it is a pull over bra only .

My ps gave me a snap front cotton work out bra from Walmart. I bought more and wore them for over a year until he told me I could wear regular bras again.

I am wearing sports bras that snap in the front. I bought them a couple of sizes too big so they are not too tight.

Walmart has generic brand of the Cobbie bras for $5. Super comfortable. More like wearing a tank top. It's a pull over bra but I was able to get it on feet first.
