Features to Look For

Mastectomy swimsuits are designed specifically for women who have endured breast cancer surgery. Whether you choose one from our list of favorites or still have some shopping to do on your own, there are a  few key features to look for when shopping for post-mastectomy swimwear.

First and foremost, your suit should be comfortable and supportive. Adjustable straps ensure that you can accommodate your body’s necessary level of support throughout recovery. Tummy control panels are great for women who want a slimming effect and a high neck can help disguise surgical scars and well as provide additional security.

Mastectomy swimwear should offer pocketed cups to securely hold swim breast forms in place, should you choose to wear them. Considering your level of comfort can help you to determine whether you want to wear a one-piece, a bikini, a tankini, a swim dress, or a sarong.

Swim Forms

If you have chosen not to undergo breast reconstruction surgery, you are not alone. Many women prefer a less invasive method to restore shape and symmetry to their post-surgery body.

Breast forms are designed to emulate the shape and feel of the natural breast without the need for another invasive surgery. Swim forms are designed the same way but with a lightweight silicone material that can withstand chlorine and saltwater.
