Ok, so I'm getting ready for BR/BL on 12-16-10.  I am supposed to find "supportive but not tight" (yeah... not sure how to do THAT!) front close sports bras such as at WalMart or Target.  I found these at Walmart -  http://www.walmart.com/ip/Fruit-of-the-Loom-Women-s-Sport-Bra-2-Pack/14546868 and wondered if any of you used them. 

I also found this one online http://www.walmart.com/ip/Danskin-Now-High-Impact-Racerback-Zip-Sport-Bra/11019719 and wondered if perhaps the "high impact" meant it was more supportive.

My local Target has no front-close sports bras, and I don't see any online either.

Anybody have any ideas??

Thanks!

I used Champion and Under Armour front close sports bras after my surgery. I couldn't find any locally in a store, so I found these on Amazon. Personally, I prefer the high impact bras.

I used Hanes front zip sports bras and liked them a lot.  You can probably buy them at multiple places online, but here's a link to the Sears site.   http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_018J0079000P?sid=ID x20070921x00003a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=018J0079000P

My surgeon's office gave me 2 very soft front-close bras.

I bought a few from Walmart --- cotton -- in a 40C (I wear a 36 C normally) --- the extra width helps them not be tight.

I also wear a long-sleeved undershirt next to my skin, and then the bra on top of that -- keeps the bra from being right on my stitches.

My surgeon took a good deal of 'side bulge' -- and that area (about 3 inches below my armpits) is the most tender part of my body --- 3 weeks post op.
