It's not you, it's the sizing chart developed a hundred years ago. @drsportsbra explains why Prairie Wear never uses traditional, outdated cup sizing practices. One simple measurement is all you need to find your perfect fit. by @prairiewear

Because most people associate breast cancer-related lymphedema with swelling in the arm or hand, swelling in the breast or chest often goes overlooked.

But lymphedema can also develop in your breast, chest wall, underarm, trunk, and even your upper back after breast cancer treatment.

After breast cancer surgery or radiation, lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes can become damaged or disrupted, making it more difficult for lymph fluid to drain properly.

This can lead to a buildup of fluid and swelling in the surrounding tissues, on the same side of the upper body as your breast cancer treatment.

What makes breast/chest lymphedema particularly challenging is that the early signs aren’t always obvious or they are often dismissed as a “normal part of recovery.”

So here are some signs to look out for:
✨ Visible swelling in the breast, chest, or trunk
✨ A feeling of heaviness, tightness, or fullness
✨ Changes in how your bra fits or feels
✨ Changes in breast size or shape
✨ Skin changes, including an “orange-peel” appearance

Whether you’re currently recovering from treatment or it’s been years since your breast cancer diagnosis, please know that persistent swelling and discomfort are not something you have to simply accept.

Treatment options are available.

One of the most effective tools for managing breast, chest wall, and truncal lymphedema is a medical-grade compression bra.

A properly fitted compression bra provides gentle, consistent pressure to help manage swelling, support lymphatic health, and improve comfort throughout the day.

My go-to compression bras are from Prairie Wear.

Comment “BRA” and I’ll DM you a link with the bras!

And if you notice any of these changes, please don’t hesitate to reach out to a Certified Lymphedema Therapist for more support and guidance.

You deserve to feel heard, supported, and comfortable in your body throughout every stage of recovery.

Which @prairiewear Hugger is right for YOU? 🤍

Swipe through ➡️ to see which one I’d choose for different patient scenarios!

As an OT + Certified Lymphedema Therapist, I’m a big believer in supportive, comfortable well-made compression garments.

Having the right bra support through cancer/lymphedema, pregnancy/post partum, and everyday life is essential to your well-being and your lymphatic health.

Your needs can change depending on surgery, swelling, lymphedema, and overall activity level.

That’s why I love that @prairiewear has four different Hugger options:

🖤 PRIMA → high compression + coverage, post-surgical recovery & lymphedema support
🤍 VIDA → medium compression + coverage for everyday activity & maintenance
💙 LUMA → high compression + lower V-neck coverage for an active lifestyle
🩷 ARIA → light–medium compression, super comfy for everyday wear, maternity + nursing (my favorite!!!!)

The “best” bra is the one that fits YOUR body and YOUR needs.

Prairie Wear makes it super easy to determine your size, it’s just one measurement! 🩷

this is your reminder: don’t let someone else’s limits become your ceiling.

they said i wouldn’t get my life back, i say life has never been better.

fighting to get back to what moves you isn’t ungrateful, it’s the most grateful thing you can do. 🎀

The FIRST OF THE MONTH is a time that’s super important and still evokes anxiety in me. When you’ve had cancer once? It’s always scary that your fingers may graze over a lump…once again 😫

But…
We spend so much time showing up for everyone or everything else. This is one way I want to keep showing up for myself and doing so in these comfy @prairiewear bras 😆. It takes 5 minutes, and it’s a ritual of knowing my body well enough to notice when something shifts.

Know what’s normal.
Notice what’s not.
Then tell someone who can help. And if they don’t help. Tell someone else!

You don’t need a reason to celebrate your body. But you do need a reminder. So consider this your invitation to your personal party😆🎉🎉🎉🎉🍾. 💌 ☀️

📅 Set the reminder for the 1st.
👯‍♀️ Tag the friend who needs this nudge.
It’s necessary!! something shifts.
