Glacie - Silk & Organic Cotton Non-Wired Pocketed Mastectomy Bra

The Glacie Mastectomy Bra is a non-wired, pocketed post-surgery bra made by JulieMay from 78% organic Pima cotton and 22% silk, with cups fully lined in pure mulberry silk. It has soft inner pockets in both cups to hold a breast prosthesis or breast form, and is designed for the months during and after breast surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, when skin is healing, thin and more reactive than usual and needs extra care. Sold in individual cup sizes from 30B to 40G.

Who it is for:

• Women who have had a mastectomy, lumpectomy, breast reconstruction or risk-reducing surgery and want a bra with prosthesis pockets in natural fabric
• Skin that has become sensitive, dry or reactive during chemotherapy or radiotherapy, or over scars and healing tissue
• Eczema, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, contact allergies, nickel allergy or heat rash
• Anyone with sensitive skin who wants a soft, non-wired everyday bra with a smooth, symmetrical shape, pockets or no pockets

Materials and composition:

• Body fabric: 78% organic Pima cotton, 22% silk (silk-cotton blend)
• Cup lining and gusset: 100% pure mulberry silk
• No polyester, nylon, elastane or foam touching the skin
• All elastics covered in cotton self fabric, plastic strap sliders (no metal on the skin), tagless heat-transfer label

Features:

• Soft cotton pockets in both cups to hold a silicone, foam or fabric breast form, partial form or prosthesis securely in place
• Non-wired, with a seamed silk and organic cotton cup and cradle for support without pressure on scar tissue, ports or lymph nodes
• Lightly quilted cotton cup padding (sandwich construction, no foam) for a smooth, symmetrical shape whether one or both pockets are used
• Silk-lined cups feel cool and smooth on scars and radiotherapy-treated skin
• Delicate Luxe embroidery on the cups, so it looks like lingerie rather than a medical garment
• Adjustable straps with plastic sliders, so no metal on the skin, and a wide, soft underband
• Underband, wing and hook-and-eye elastics all backed with cotton self fabric, so no exposed elastic on the skin

Frequently asked questions:

Does it hold a prosthesis? Yes. Both cups have a soft inner pocket that holds a full or partial breast form. You can use one pocket, both, or none.

Is it wired? No. Glacie is a non-wired mastectomy bra. There is no underwire to press on scar tissue, ports or lymph nodes.

When can I wear it after surgery? Once your surgical team says you can move from a post-operative bra to an everyday bra. The soft fabric and covered elastics make it suitable as an early everyday bra.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin, eczema or skin damaged by radiotherapy? The fabric touching the skin is organic Pima cotton and mulberry silk only, with no synthetic fibres, foam, metal or exposed elastic. JulieMay is accredited by Allergy UK.

What size should I buy? Fit the bra with your prosthesis in the pocket. If you are unsure, JulieMay's fitters can size you by video call.
