 I got a short sleeved tissue tshirt from target that replaced the tanks I wore at the beginning.  That was another layer, along with pieces of cotton sheeting.  I used mens hankies under my breasts. The underarm incisions became less sensitive long before my under breast incisions.

I had no idea everything would be quite so sensitive for so long.

 Lee, what's a tissue tshirt? I've tried hankies & they were fine until I changed & put on a looser nightgown when one fell out as I was walking. My dh suggested tshirts. Target is our home away from home. Lol what department would I tell my dh to look in? He's not big on shopping although he did hand me a Victoria's Secret catalog & asked if I wanted to shop for new panties! So under that squeamish exterior there is a happy husband.  ;)

how cute!  I bet Lee means a cotton tshirt.  I used that under my body garment to help with the itching!

 Target actually calls it a Tissue Tshirt.  It's very very thin hence tissue.  It wasn't bulky under my garment but protected my underarms more than a tank.  You could use a silk long underwear top if you wanted.  Last week I saw tissue t"s in long sleeves.  That could work too.

Lol on Victoria's secret and DH!

 Thanks Lee! I've been wearing a tshirt & it is definitely better but it is too thick & I'm thrilled to say WAY TOO BIG! What a difference without all the skin.

YAY Cindy!!  Isn't it amazing when the skin is gone!!  That's why I love the tissue tshirts because they are so thin and comfy!
