What's it about?

Asda's selling post-surgery bra's of various sizes for just £6, a lot less than specialist post-operation lingerie companies charge.

What do I get for my money?

The bra's available in white in sizes 34 to 38, B to E cup, and sizes 40 to 42, B to DD cup.

There are five styles available, numbers:

• 830
• 1156
• 1447
• 700
• 0042

The SKU no is 922162

Which stores?

This is a permanent price available in stores nationwide.

Plus Asda donates to cancer care.

40p of the cost goes to Breast Cancer Care and the Breast Cancer Campaign.

I'm posting this for my Mum who is so excited she wants to let as many people as possible know. She had a double breast op and has since spent a fortune on bras in order to get ones that fit.

She is delighted with a bra that she has found at Asda. The post surgery bra is just £6, has prosthesis pockets, and better still 40p from the sale of each goes raise money for Breast Cancer Care and the Breast Cancer Campaign. The SKU no is 922162, style no 830/1156/1447/700/0042. Sizes 34-42, b-e cup (b-dd for 40-42).

If you know anyone having trouble finding a good, cheap, post surgery bra, please let them know. I know most people wouldn't even think to look in a supermarket for what is often treated as specialist underwear.

I'm also posting this on the Silver Savers board..

Good luck with the op, PIXIEBUM. I hope everything turns out well.

Best wishes,
Frank.

I do not think you will need one of those bra as you are only having a lump removed. Your breast should look ok afterwards. This bra is for women who had a mastectomy. My sister used one of those because she had a mastectomy.

Thanks for letting us know Vivatifosi,
I work as a mammographer (The radiographer who performs the mammogram) this is great to know as ladies often ask us about bras, great to be able to tell them about somewhere affordable for a change.
good luck pixiebum

Just a quick rant..... these kind of products should be subsidised by the government instead of susbsidising drug addicts and alchoholics. (I don't know anyone who's ever had breast cancer, and i'm sure this is the last thing on their mind, but i personally think it's just plain wrong for companies to be able to profit so hugely for supplying such products.)


That's my rant over. and to anyone who may need these products, I wish you all well.:mad:
