Front fastening bra

Blue nose · 7 Sep 20, 07:46 PM

I've been out with my gran today who is 94 and bad with arthritis and breast cancer. She mentioned she has to wear a junior type bra that pulls over her head as she can't have wired or any metal at all and can't fasten anything behind her or twist it round once on.

She's really struggling to pull over her head and I said a front fastening bra might be better.

I've tried googling but can't really find anything. Any ideas?

Preferably something with normal thin straps and not a sports back. She can only fasten at the front and it also has to have no metal due to a skin allergy.

They have quite a few on amazon, some seem to be non wired.

It maybe worth looking at the cancer research site for post surgery bras they are front fastening and don�t look like they have metal .
Or McMillan maybe able to advise on where to buy .

This has front fastening crop tops or comfort tops as they call them. They do look comfy

Thanks didn't think about there as she's refusing surgery so not post aurgery. But will take a look.

I've seen the JD Williams ones but they all appear to be hook and eyes which might be metal.

Will check out the other links now ,👍

Oh that's a pity about the metal hook and eye - I hadn't thought of that

Ive had surgery for breast cancer. I found this great and very comfortable and I wore it for day wear.

Very minimal metal, very comfortable.
