What is a Recovery Bra?

A recovery bra is specifically designed to provide optimal support and comfort during the healing process after surgery or injury. These post-surgery bras help reduce strain, minimize movement, and promote a smoother recovery. They often feature soft, breathable fabrics, front closures for easy wear, and gentle compression to aid in reducing swelling. Whether you’re healing from a procedure or managing ongoing discomfort, a well-fitted recovery bra can make a world of difference.

The right bra can genuinely positively impact your health and well-being. With over 21 years in business, one of our primary goals is to help women around Australia find the right bra after experiencing pain and discomfort from either short or long-term injury and post-surgery. We have a dedicated wide range of bras (sizes 6-36, A-K cup) designed to reduce pain and discomfort frequently caused by a heavier bust and a range of other restraints. We partner with physiotherapists across Australia to help their patients achieve a faster and more pleasant recovery. Read more to find out how!

Front Opening Bras - Fab AND Functional

Front-opening bras are an alternative to a traditional bra design in which the clasp is located at the front, so you don’t have to do that crazy dance fight necessary to fasten your usual back-closure bras. These pain-free alternatives are game changers for ladies with arthritis, post-operative constraints or injury. Many front-opening bras also come with a posture back to give full back support.

Our front-opening bras still carry the full range of designs, styles, brands and support of regular bras. They come in all the traditional functions, with everyday bras, sports bras, designer bras and more. The difference is comfort, dignity and alternatives for ladies that don’t have the full mobility they require to suitable fasten and fit a regular bra. 

Posture Corrector Bras - A Weight Off Your Shoulders

Our posture corrector bras are designed to reduce pain and discomfort, frequently caused by a heavier bust, in several ways. Firstly, the fuller coverage back smooths unwanted lumps and bumps and increases back support. It evenly distributes the weight of the bust over a broader surface area, reducing the strain placed on the shoulders. Some of our wider coverage back panel bras also prevent the straps from slipping off the shoulders, which can be a significant pain point for some women.

The straps on our posture corrector bras extend evenly from the sides and centre of the bra, providing separation and maximum support. This prevents any gaping and allows the bra to encase the breasts fully. The shoulder straps are also broader, preventing straps from digging in, another common issue for our fuller-busted ladies!

The best part? Many of our options fall into the front-opening AND posture relief category! So, whether you suffer from shoulder or wrist injuries, need a post-surgery bra, or struggle with back clasps, this collection may be suitable for you.

Wire Free Bras – No Wire? No Problem!

Wire-free is the perfect option for complete comfort, flexibility, and that ‘barely there look’. On top of this, though, they are a fantastic choice for developing breasts or post-operative needs. We have something for everyone, no matter size, shape or requirement!

A wire-free bra generally has a similar design to a traditional full coverage bra with an elastic band, hook and eye closure and adjustable straps; however - as the name suggests - without the underwire. This is the perfect selection for women with any size breast requiring less support without sacrificing comfort and flexibility.
