Great shape, comfortable, good support - love the padding & zipper!

I have saggy, mom boobs, so if anyone can relate, I hope this review might help you!Upon considering breast surgery, I was told I would need a few good front-closure sports bras. Before then, I didn't even know such bra existed (sheltered, I know).I bought 5 front-closure sports bras and want to compare / contrast them so you don't have to buy so many to find which one (or ones) you want. If it helps, here are my opinions (and I didn't get any of these for free of discounted, by the way - paid full price!):1.) Wanayou Zip-front Bra (This Bra) claiming to be for "post-surgery" I got the purple one but it is more of a "crayola" true purple than the mauve-purple shown in the seller's pics. I like the zipper covers on the top and bottom which are great for comfort, but a little lumpy-looking under a shirt. The pad inserts are nice to give a little shape and the zipper is amazing for reducing the dreaded uniboob! It is also one of the best for support, but I would still say only low to medium impact for smaller cupped women. As a D-cup, I wear this bra either doubled up with another bra or with a Boobuddy (
Great for post breast surgery!

Comfy, yet provide needed snugness post surgery!

Much of the same applies: It has nice zipper covers on the top and bottom for comfort, but a little lumpy-looking under a shirt. It has pad inserts for shape and the zipper reduces the dreaded uniboob! It is also one of the best for support, but I would still say only low to medium impact for smaller cupped women. As a D-cup, I wear this bra either doubled up with another bra or with a Boobuddy.3.) Fruit of the Loom Clasp-front Bra (
Itâs comfortable but order a size or two up

) Padded inserts for flattering shape, this bra WOULD have been my favorite of them all because of the no-pinch cloth flap under the zipper, coupled with the silver hook half way up the zipper, which is a HUGE help in trying to zip this by yourself, BUT I found the non-locking zipper to be a pretty major setback! As in, the zipper comes down by itself! I alleviated the problem by wearing another bra under this one and that seemed to reduce the strain enough so that the zipper stays put.5.) Carol Martin Full Freedom clasp-front bra (
The perfect after surgery bra

) With SIX clasps, this all-cotton bra seems sturdy, but provides little to no support. It's very comfortable and feels much more like a sleep bra than anything you can actively wear during the day if you want your breasts to not sag. It's not padded, just lined with a white cotton liner fabric. With my d-cup breasts, I wouldn't wear it for exercise of any kind, even if doubled up. Best left in the bedroom.4.) Jockey Zip-front bra (
Much better than big box sports bra for after surgery.

) which is more of a sleep bra than a sports bra but with a 4.3 stars out of 2,000 reviews, I bought it anyway. Wins the award for the most comfortable, forgot you're wearing a bra! But it has zero support and although the lace flap covering the claps is a pretty touch, it does make it a little difficult to hook all 5 hooks with the lace in the way. That being said, I have worn this bra to bed every single night since I received it!I am also including pics of the bra closed and partially opened, so you can see how much it actually pulls my breast together and it might give you an idea of the strength / support, I hope. Anyway, since shopping for bras when you have "mom boobs" is a tough decision, I hope this review helped!
DO NOT buy for post surgery.........

I recently had a breast reduction and am required to wear a compression or supportive bra with no underwire for 6 weeks. I went from a FFF to around a D (still healing and size is evolving), and the XL size works great for me. The front closure is perfect for me post surgery so I can easily take it on and off, and you can't beat the price. I do wish that the fun colors were available in the larger size, though. Nevertheless, very supportive, easy to get on and off due to front zipper, cute, and can use in the future as a sports bra for exercise. Love it!

These are amazing, I am in LOVE!!!! I recently had breast reduction surgery and the hospital issued bras; as lovely as they are; just werenât cutting it anymore. I wanted something soft, but it had to zip in the front. I ordered some from a different brand and I am pretty sure they forgot that boobs will go in them! But these, I found these after reading hundreds of reviews for different zip front bras. I am so happy with my decision to purchase these. They are soft and provide the amount of snugness I need without being uncomfortable or restrictive. I love the little fabric piece that goes over both the top and bottom of the zipper so that it doesnât irritate my still sensitive skin. The pads are easy to remove. I would give these 10 stars if I could. I probably wouldnât run in these, but they will be good for yoga and PiYo down the road when I am cleared to work out.

I had the hardest time finding front zipping, supportive but not too tight, soft and stretchy, comfortable sports bras after having breast augmentation surgery. These SAVED ME. I bought like 10 of them. They are absolutely PERFECT. They support me in all the right places without squeezing the life out of me. They aren't itchy and scratchy. I highly recommend them. Even my plastic surgeon had me send them the link so they could recommend them to other patients.I bought the XL and my cup size is 36D.

Iâm usually a size 36B so originally I ordered a L just to make sure it was a comfortable size. It was still very tight on me so I ordered an XL and it fits like a dream! So I would say order a couple sizes up for a good fit. Iâm 5â3â and 135lbs if that helps with sizing.
