Shopping for lingerie can be extremely trying emotionally, and it’s even more so if you’re a breast cancer patient or survivor. If slipping into your favourite lingerie is no longer an option during your breast cancer journey – whether it’s due to surgery, lack of support, weight fluctuations, or other factors – there are still intimate apparels on the market that are right for you.

Whether you’ve undergone a lumpectomy to remove a lump, a mastectomy (the removal of one or both breasts, partially or completely), reconstructive surgery, or your skin is feeling particularly sensitive due to radiation or chemotherapy, there are still plenty of bra options dedicated to the needs of those with breast cancer.

It’s imperative that you get a new bra that suits your needs and requirements – it’ll not only provide you with comfort and support, but you might also feel more confident and yourself again. With the right brand behind you, picking out the ideal bra can be an empowering experience.

Here, we’ve rounded up three local brands that offer stylish and comfortable bras that will see you through your breast cancer journey.

Perk by Kate

1/3

Launched in 2021, Perk By Kate’s Recovery collection was created to support women through their recovery process following a mastectomy or breast reconstruction surgery. The collection was done in consultation with a breast reconstruction surgeon, as well as feedback from customers who are breast cancer survivors.

There are five bras in the collection with different elements, such as a front-hook mechanism for ease of wear, moisture-wicking materials like cotton and microfibre for cooling effect, and thicker straps and wider side panels for support – all without compromising on being beautifully-designed intimates.

Also in the collection is a lightweight pyjama set designed with maximum comfort in mind. The super-soft jersey fabric keeps one from feeling too warm and feels like second skin without irritating any areas that are still healing.

EnvyHer

2/3

Local lingerie brand EnvyHer is known for their shapewear and lingerie for nursing and postpartum mothers, but their pieces are also extremely comfortable and suitable for those recovering post-surgery or post-chemotherapy.

The bralettes, made in Singapore by hand, are without wire and feature super soft nylon and spandex lining fabric. You can even tailor-make a custom bra (and underwear) set, if you’re unable to find one that suits your preferences.

Led by a team of dedicated professionals with nursing and medical backgrounds, Can-Care is known for their range of services and products to aid post-cancer patients in their recovery journey.

The brand offers a range of mastectomy bras, each designed with soft fabric and hidden pockets in the bra cups. There are various styles for almost every need, whether you’re looking for a comfortable front-hook piece made of breathable material for all-day comfort, or a supportive bra with a high neckline for added coverage.
