Supportive wireless 34e bra

I’m 2 weeks post breast cancer surgery and need a supportive wireless bra. I don’t need front fastening or pockets for prosthetics. I had a mammoplasty on one side and a reduction to match on the other. I’m probably a 34e now but will get measured.
Also don’t want racer back or very high front as I can’t wear my normal tops without them showing.
Any recommendations?

Cotton sports bras that do up at the back. Wide shoulder straps. Get fitted and buy numerous of the most comfortable.

Thanks @user1492757084
Any idea where to look? All the sports bras I’ve seen are very high at the front and are not cotton.

Marcs and Spencer’s balcony bras. The balcony shape is flattering to an E cup.

This is a bit of a 'hear me out' but you could try a Triumph Doreen. They are really supportive. I find that most wireless bras smoosh the breasts together and I get a horrible sweat rash between them. The other option would be an Elomi Cate. Neither one is cotton though, and very few supportive bras are - is that a deal-breaker? If so you could try Molke, but they are not for everyone and I don't get on with them.

I'm the same size and love Molke. They are really supportive and still give definition so you don't end up with monoboob. I step into mine but you can pull them over your head too.

No need for them to be cotton. It was just someone suggested that.

The problem I find with Molke is that the seams are quite pronounced and become uncomfortable during wear. This may be an issue.

Try a M&S Nursing Bra: They are lovely and soft and very supportive. I found them perfect for the time I was healing.

I tried some supermarket wireless bras on and realise I really need the compression of a sports bra or post surgery bra but I can’t find one without a racer back or very high front which restricts what I can wear.

Also don’t want to spend a lot on something I’ll only wear for a short time.
