Swimwear should be the easy part of your summer. Every one piece, tankini and bikini top in this collection is built on a wide, supportive shelf bra with no underwire to press on scars or a port site. Each one has a pocket that holds a breast form or your own soft padding so it stays where you put it, in and out of the water.
Whether you call them mastectomy swimwear or mastectomy bathers, this is the full range, designed in Australia and shipped Australia-wide.
Support that carries the weight, not your shoulders
The shelf bra is a separate internal bra with its own elastic band, so the band does the work instead of the straps. That means no digging, no sinking feeling by the end of the day, and comfortable bust support from a B cup to a G cup - including when you're wearing one form, two, or none at all. Wide, adjustable straps and a firm under-bust band sit flat against the chest wall, and there is no wire anywhere in the range. As Alison H. (a 12F) wrote: "This is the first non-wire bathers I have felt comfortable in ... I feel totally supported and confident."
A pocket for your breast form
Each shelf bra has room to hold a breast form, prosthesis or soft insert discreetly on either side, so the shape looks natural and stays put through swimming, bending and lifting. If you wear a form on one side only, the shelf bra keeps both sides looking even. If you'd rather wear no form at all, the lined fabric means the suit still sits smooth. Elaine K. on the Byron Adjustable Bikini Top: "I felt more comfortable with inserts and love that the top was able to accommodate them!"
Choose your own coverage
Post-surgery scars sit in different places for everyone, so coverage is a personal decision, not a rule. A one piece is the simplest option if you want the whole middle covered in a single garment, and our supportive one piece swimwear holds through the waist without squeezing. Tankini tops are the easiest choice if you want separates you can size differently on top and bottom, or a top you can lift without undressing completely. Adjustable bikini tops pair with high-waisted bottoms for coverage through the middle with more skin on show up top.
Sizes 8-26, B to G cup
Bodies change through treatment and surgery, often more than once. The range runs from a size 8 to a size 26 with bust support from B to G cup, so you can size for the body you have right now. Every size is photographed on real bodies, and the size guide gives you chest and under-bust measurements rather than guesswork.
Built to survive real swimming
All styles in this collection use chlorine-resistant fabric, so pool rehab, hydrotherapy and lap swimming won't turn the fabric thin or bagged out in a season. Every style has UPF sun protection too, and the fabric holds its shape and colour through repeat chlorine exposure.

Frequently asked questions
Will this work after a single or double mastectomy?
Yes. The shelf bra holds a form on one or both sides, and it's just as comfortable worn flat with no form at all. One customer's review of the Coolum Tankini simply reads: "Perfect swimwear for double mastectomy."
Do I need to buy a special swim form?
No. The pocket takes standard breast forms, swim forms or soft padding. Many customers use the same form they wear day to day, though a dedicated swim form drains faster.
Is there any underwire?
No. Nothing in the range has underwire, so there's no rigid seam over scar tissue, a reconstruction, or an expander.
Can I wear this for hydrotherapy or rehab swimming?
Yes - that's what the chlorine-resistant fabric is for. Miriam M. bought the Sorrento One Piece for her 89 year old mother's hydrotherapy sessions: "She absolutely loved the colour and fit ... It's a winner." If you're swimming several times a week, having two suits and alternating them will double the life of both.
Do you ship mastectomy bathers anywhere in Australia?
Yes. We're an Australian brand and ship Australia-wide, with free shipping on orders over $200.
What if I'm between sizes or unsure?
Order the size that fits your under-bust measurement first, since that band carries the support. Free shipping applies on orders over $200, and you can exchange for a different size.
