Crazy Question For Women Bandsters....

[kcf101008 1]

I have a crazy question. Do any of the female banders that wear underwire bras have tenderness from your bra? I dont know how to explain it, but I feel like if i wear my bra too long, I have tenderness on my left side near my port site. When I don't wear it as long, I don't. Maybe I'm sitting wrong or something, but i hate the thought of giving up my underwire support!! Thanks yall, Have Very Merry Christmas!!

My port is near my belly button. Some waist bands annoy me, but not my bras.

My underwire bothers me if I am sitting too long. Sorta rubs against the port. I also think I may be getting smaller in the boobage and the bra may be riding up a bit. May be time for some new bras.

I was gonna ask how far down ARE your breast lol , but wasn't sure if you would get offended lol (I'm a jokester, never meaning any harm) .

I also wear underwire , but my port is no where near it.

My port is located left side, just below my rib cage.. About 1-2 inch from the end of my rib. I understand what your saying , maybe it's something else that's bothering it , I wouldnt think its the port ...

My port is actually a bit higher.

I dd not wear an underwire bra prior to surgery and I don't beleuve it has anything to do with my surgery since my port is much lower. But I've found if I sit a certain way I guess the wire pushes into my skin/fat whatever and can be quite painful if sitting that way for to long.

My boobs sit fine with the bra now without the bra...LOL. That's why I want new boobs when I lose all my weight!! My port is to the left and below my xepoid process, the point on the bottom of your sternum. I think when I sit more bent over, my underwire is hitting scar tissue.

I took a sports bra to the hospital and chose to wear one for a couple weeks afterward. Now, I wear an underwire bra, but don't have any discomfort from it. But, if I sit for a while in the car, I get uncomfortable, just from sitting. I think it is just a part of my banding process. If I get up, or move around, I am fine(and it is not all the time)!

If you've lost some weight, perhaps you have less fat between your underwire and ribs now? Sorry... On my phone I can't see any signature information so I don't know how long you've been banded or how much you've lost...
