To say I'm disappointed that once again MN have omitted to include any post-surgery products in their 'Swears By' emails

I know it's all about making money by promoting products, but once again in the swimsuit email sent today, they've omitted any post-surgery products. They did the same with the last bra one too.

1 in 7 of us will be diagnosed with breast cancer and many of us will then need a single or double mastectomy.

Please don't forget about us!

Well if you want some recommendations .... I've had expensive and cheap bras and swimwear post surgery and I found Asda to have a good reasonably priced selection.

I've also used Vinted for the posh mastectomy bikinis which were brand new!

I'd also recommend a swim prosthesis, it's lightweight like a bean bag!

Thank you - I've also found Asda to be good and M&S, although they have removed their post-surgery bras from lots of shops.

I'm more of a tankini, rather than a bikinigirl - sadly they only took my boobs not half my stomach 😂😜

Go post it there yourself.

im old but if the majority on here are thirty something then something that affects 1/7 old people won’t be upper most in their minds when shopping for themselves.

That's true but just reading the cancer threads just shows, sadly, how many of us have been affected.

I wanted to 'reply' to their email but wasn't sure how.

Love it @Toffeesgirl I've given up with my tummy and what people think. The steroids and tamoxifen don't help!

I liked the M&S strapless mastectomy bra, however, the person at the till did feel the need to point out it was post surgery, no shit Sherlock would you like a look at my scars and foob!
