Avia Women's Medium Support Zip Front Sports Bra, Sizes S-XXXL

I purchased a number of these, in both medium support and high support, following heart surgery. I had been wearing surgical bras in the hospital, and they were amazing, but $66 each. After purchasing a couple of the surgical bras for home use it hit me that a sports bra would probably do the same thing and I would get a lot more use out of them after recovery, so I purchased several of these Avia bras for the price one surgical bra. Once I found how comfortable they were, I purchased several more. I did have to make a couple of attempts at getting the right sizes. I would normally wear a medium to a large, but I had to buy extra large in these, and even these are pretty snug.. You might want to order a couple of different sizes and see which fits, but definitely lean towards your normal size or larger, not smaller.. I've washed each of them a few times now. I use really excellent bra bags and they are holding up like brand new.. They are a really good bargain. I have both the high support and the medium support and I find that the medium support is more comfortable..

These bras are comfortable and provide good support. I am going through reconstruction, and they are working well for me. The instructions say to remove the pads before washing. They will come out of the bra in the washer if you don't, so I secured them with pins.
