I recently underwent a lumpectomy and lymph node biopsy, leaving me with two incisions: one on my breast and one under my arm. I was instructed to wear a supportive, front-closure bra throughout my recovery.

Now, as someone who barely wears bras to begin with and has been loyal to the same minimal bralette style for years, comfort was naturally my number one priority, followed by simplicity and function.

Knix kept coming up in conversations with other women/warriors who have also gone through breast cancer and people who have had breast reconstruction surgeries. So, I decided to visit the store and try a few on.

I remember standing in the fitting room, trying to get used to closures, compression and removable padding, thinking “How on earth am I going to be comfortable in this?!” Especially when I’m so used to wearing next to nothing!

Despite my hesitation, I purchased two (both size Medium) so I could alternate between them during recovery.

Well, let me tell you…

After surgery, my surgeon emphasized how important wearing a supportive bra would be for healing, so that’s exactly what I did. And I cannot express how grateful I am that I bought TWO.

Even with my initial doubts and backup options from other brands waiting at home, Knix has become my absolute comfort throughout healing.

I’m now two weeks post-op and I truly believe this bra has played a huge role in how comfortable and supported I’ve felt throughout my recovery. I wear it all day AND all night, something…

A front closure bra, wireless bra that gives me support and comfort. Customer service very helpful in my getting the correct fit.

I actually found these too late for post op use after my lumpectomies, but they were wonderful during radiation treatment as they are so soft and didn’t agitate my tender skin.

I only wish they came in pale colors (pale pink, nude) as they remain my favorite leisure bras, but I can’t wear them under light colored tops.

I rarely write reviews, but I had to for this bra! I recently had a median sternotomy (full split of the sternum). This is marketed for breast surgeries, but it has been instrumental in my recovery. It stabilizes my skin where the incision is without irritation, and it’s easy to put on with sternum restrictions. If you’re feeling nervous about the recovery from thoracic surgery (as I was), this will help you feel more secure immediately after surgery, and in the first weeks of recovery. I would give 6 stars if I could!

Thank you, Knix, for this bra. I just had a mastectomy, and I bought this bra specifically because I read a review where someone mentioned that it’s very comfortable. And indeed, the fabric is super soft, which helps with the bandages. It provides good support. In fact, I just bought a second one. Thank you (again), Knix.

I’m a weird in-between bra size, and currently recovering from a single mastectomy. These are the only wireless, front close bras I could find that fit! The double line of clasps in the front make all the difference. They were a little too tight for immediately post surgery, but now that my bandages are off and I’m beginning to be able to go out and about more, they are fantastic! They will also work great for the reconstruction surgery next year.
