Bra Fitting






​​
​First and foremost, it should feel and look great. There is a noticeable difference when you slip into a well-fitted bra. You feel secure and supported.
Will finding the right bra mean all discomfort disappears as soon as you put it on? Not exactly. Just like a new pair of shoes, your new bra and you will need a few days to adjust to each other. But nothing should hurt or poke.
You will be aware that you are wearing a well-fitted bra. The band should feel snug but not tight. If you can't feel the band, it's not doing its job.
​The bra should remain in place when you raise your arms or lean over. Your breasts should not pop out of the cups when you move.

Lymphedema
Care  







​Compression sleeves and garments are designed to do just what their name suggests: apply pressure to the arm, hand, or trunk to keep lymph moving in the right direction. (Remember that some lymphatic vessels are located just under the surface of your skin.) Research studies have not yet looked at the effectiveness of compression sleeves alone in treating lymphedema. However, experts have found them to be effective as part of the overall treatment plan. Examples include:

• a sleeve worn on the arm
• a fingerless glove or a gauntlet (which does not have individual finger openings), often worn with a sleeve
• a support bra for the chest area or a vest for the entire trunk area 

All of the garments are made of flexible fabric. Sleeves are tighter at the bottom than they are at the top. This helps create the graded (or “gradient”) pressure that keeps the lymph moving out of the arm. In addition, there is a variety of fabrics available: Some feel softer, others stiffer, and some may include materials such as wool or latex.
