While waiting to get professionally fitted, there are several comfortable options to consider. Many people find success with adjustable sports bras that have removable pads and stretchy material to accommodate swelling. Look for bras with adjustable straps and bands that won't put pressure on numb areas.

For prosthetics, you can explore mastectomy shops that offer specialized inserts designed specifically for breast forms. Some regular bathing suits and bras can be modified with a small slit on the side to hold prosthetics securely in place. Consider wearing soft, cotton bras in a slightly larger size than normal to account for swelling. Using a bra extender can help make the band more comfortable. Some people find success with soft camisoles or bralettes without seams as an alternative while healing.

Remember that comfort is key during this time. If you're experiencing ongoing swelling (lymphedema), your breast size may fluctuate throughout the day, so choosing flexible, adaptable options is important.
