Hello Everyone!
I'm 6 days post BL/BA and bilat thighplasty--and doing well!  But..I'm trying to find a way to cami my drains.  I have one in each thigh..some shorts have pockets and that works well...but...when I don't have pockets they're a little harder to hide.   They kinda freak my fiance out..  :)  You'd think he'd be used to it...I had drains for 8 weeks then.  I had a fanny pack I used then, but of course can't find it now...  Any ideas on what to use??  Thanks in advance~  Lisa

Thanks Red..I love any excuse to shop!!  :)  I should have mentioned..for the thigh lift, I have incisions from my groin to below the knee..so for right now it feels best to wear those kinda cut off sweat shorts around...they're softer against the incision..  I tried a skirt yesterday--thought I'd look cute going to see the ps!!  But...traded in for shorts for comfort...maybe in another week--I think I've got a litte spring fashion fever and need to remember I'm still recovering..and that comes a little bit before fashion! lol...  :)

I use a small piece of tape and tape them to the top part of my leg just below hip. and that seems to work for me!
post some pic I love to look at them!

I did the fanny pack for the most part with all three of my plastic surgeries.  With my LBL I actually got away with running two of the bulbs up into my bra cups (one on each side).. gave me a little 'boost'.  Course with the BL/BA that might be a bit hard to do.. but for other surgeries it's worth a shot.

I got legged undies and cut wholes on top to place drain on outside and tacked the midway down outside of the thighs
