    Hi, only had one side done but until I got my prosthesis, I wore one of those sports bras. Bought a size bigger than normal so it wouldn't be so tight and it was pretty comfortable. And since there are no cups, it lays nicely under clothing.

    Sara, look at the camisoles in the American Cancer Society's TLC catalog at tlccatalog.com

    One is called a radiation camisole... 100% cotton, no seams. The other is lacy and comes in black or white. I find that when I wear either and tuck the camisole bottom into my pants, it anchors the "floaters" that would otherwise aim straight for my neckline to pop out inappropriately at people.
    Hugs,
    Denise
