Recovery Robe,Post Mastectomy Breast Cancer Gifts Women,Breast Surgery Robe with Internal Pockets,Mommy Makeover,Tummy Tuck

I ordered this for my recovery after a bilateral mastectomy and am very pleased with it. All of the nurses in the hospital raved about how stylish and adorable I looked! I can wear this long after recovery so that helps ease the pain of the price tag. But for recovery, having pockets (two on each side) for the drain bulbs is almost priceless because they are such a nuisance. You can pin the bulbs to your clothing but it is so nice to just be able to slip them inside a pocket and forget about it. It also gives you quick & easy access to work the tubing frequently as ordered by the surgeon. The fabric is soft and drapes nicely. I'm a size 2, 116 lbs., & ordered a small. It fit but there was plenty of room, even when I cinched the ties tightly. I wish that extra small was an option.I have not worn the bra (velcro closure in front) that comes with the robe because I must have *a lot* of compression right now in order to be comfortable and this bra provides none. The fabric feels very soft, though, and I plan to wear it later. It seems like it would be a comfortable sleeping bra. It has pockets for ice packs that are available on The Brobe website. That seems like a really nice feature if you're able to wear it and I was disappointed that I couldn't.Overall, I do feel it is overpriced but I understand that it's a small company. That being said, the material is of good quality and it is well made so I don't feel that I was ripped off or anything. I would absolutely recommend it to others if it is within their budget.

My Aunt sent me a link to this robe and I was hesitant because of the price but once I received it I was very impressed by the stretchable soft fabric. I got black so no blood spill would get on it. I had a mastectomy on my left breast and I couldn’t wait to get out of the hospital robe and put this on. I didn’t need the bra that it came with but I loved the pockets to hold the drains and I wore it for 5 days straight. It was the perfect temperature and easy to sleep in. I am 5’9 and 126 pounds and I ordered a medium I could have fit in a small as the medium had a lot of room. If I were to order again I would get a small. I highly suggest this robe to make you feel a little bit put together during a very hard time. Way to go designer! I would like to see mother of pearl buttons or non contrasting buttons as I am not a fan of the coconut/wood buttons. I am a designer in the fashion industry so I am pretty picky to say the least. It’s a great purchase and I would buy it again if needed. I will be wearing it again on mastectomy number 2. I wish more people would put more thought into garments like this as we all need to feel good when going through a hard time like this. Thank you and great job.

I bought this to wear after my double mastectomy. I get a lot of compliments on it, especially for the color which I chose because black want available for Prime delivery.Pros:Four internal pockets to hold your drain bags. These are great. End of story. I’ve worn other tips since and having to carry around the bags or pin them to you is annoying.Very comfortable and I don’t feel like I’m wearing a bathrobe because of the lovely details of the cut and the buttons.So soft and stretchy.Came with a bra in the same color. Fit me very well and has been good to help with compression.ConsIt’s expensive. I had points on my card, and I put them towards this to help.The material is great, but after only a few days, it got a hole in it. Not sure how. Possibly from the drains.The fabric is on the heavier side. Which is nice and all, but I found I couldn’t be comfortable in this unless it was mostly cool that day. This top plus hot flashes is rough.The bra is mostly great, however, the Velcro is awful. It’s super scratchy and the sharper side sticks to the lace and fabric of the bra. Mine got roughed up looking before I even got to try it on. Additionally, the bottom band sits right across my drain incisions and it’s been terribly painful. If the front buttoned it would be better so you can undo the last button. I’ve put a safety pin up it part way to leave it open and the relief was immediate. The open Velcro is quite scratchy, however.In all, I’m glad I got this. It could just use a few tweaks.

I had a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction 5 days ago and I don’t know hat I’d do without this robe. I have 4 drains and this robe is a Godsend. The drains are a pain to deal with but this robe makes them so much easier to manage. Beyond the nice deep pockets for the drain bulbs, it is a very soft, comfortable robe. I love the length. I will continue to wear it long after the drains are removed.It is slightly larger than I expected, but it’s nice to have lots of room for tubing and 4 bulbs.

Purchased this robe for my wife prior to being discharged for hospital. She had cancer in one breast but opted for bilateral mastectomy which resulted in 3 drains. She is 5'4 ~ 180lbs. We purcased XL which fits her very well and accomodates all the drains. She wore this home from the hospital and immediately remarked on its softness. She likes the fact that its not floor length which allows her better circulation since she often feels hot these days. In taking those first few steps on the road to recovering her mobility, this robe allowed her to grasp a pillow to her chest and not worry about carrying drain lines.Update 03/2019: Those opting for reconstructive surgery will find this robe is the gift that keeps on giving. After 3 rounds of reconstructive surgery (each time multiple drains were involved), the transition home was smoother because of this robe. It has held nicely up over almost two years and continues to do its job. We purchased one as a gift for an aunt who was recently diagnosed. My wife is now cancer free, and is moving on with life. God Bless all women that go this and thank heavens for this product.

I had a recent overnight stay in hospital for a mastectomy and reconstruction and I didn’t know what clothing or dressing gown to take with me - I wasn’t keen to take my white long dressing gown so I was panicking about not having anything suitable. I found this dressing gown on Amazon and the reviews were favourable (other than on price!) so I ordered it.It came really quickly, it’s lovely and soft and stretchy, it’s a good practical length and best of all my drain bottle fits in the inner pockets (which I wasn’t sure until I was in hospital with the dressing gown). I didn’t use the bra it came with as I’d bought a different ‘front opening’ post operative bra from another specialist.I had to go home with the drain so it’s been really useful for continued use at home.If you can ignore/swallow the price it’s a good buy.

Bought this for a friend.Although the fabric is really nice, the drain pockets were too small for the drains used in the uk, or at least in the hospital where she has surgery. That wasn't too much of an issue as she was given a bag to carry the drains but she still didn't use it much as the gown was too big. She didn't use the bra at all as too small.
