Best Bras After Shoulder Surgery Perth: Honest Reviews & Try In Store

If you're looking for a bra after shoulder surgery in Perth, you don't have to choose one from a photograph and hope it works for your changing body. You can come into EVOE at Hillarys Boat Harbour and try one for yourself.

After shoulder surgery, something as ordinary as putting on a bra can become difficult.

Reaching behind your back. Doing up clasps. Raising your arms. Twisting your shoulder. Wearing straps across sensitive areas or surgical scars.

At EVOE Hillarys, you can feel the fabric, see how our bras are constructed differently and try one on before deciding whether it's right for you.

But rather than us telling you how comfortable EVOE is, we'd rather let women who have actually experienced shoulder surgery, shoulder replacements and restricted shoulder movement tell you themselves.

MY HONEST REVIEW — Joan M.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Both shoulders replaced | Difficulty dressing

Joan had been trying to find a comfortable bra for years after having both shoulders replaced.

“I have been trying to get a comfy bra for years owing to have both my shoulders replaced.”

For Joan, finding a bra wasn't simply about comfort. Restricted shoulder movement had also affected her ability to dress.

“I am able to dress myself now your bras have made life so much more easier for me. Thank you.”

Joan's experience highlights something important for women looking for a bra after shoulder surgery:

How you get the bra on and off can matter just as much as how it feels once you're wearing it.

MY HONEST REVIEW — Karoline D.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ VERIFIED PURCHASE

Comfort after shoulder surgery

Karoline shared her experience after shoulder surgery:

“Perfect. So soft and comfortable especially after my shoulder surgery”

Sometimes a review doesn't need to be long.

For Karoline, softness and comfort after her shoulder surgery were what mattered.

MY HONEST REVIEW — Leanne

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Neck & shoulder surgeries | Surgical scars

For Leanne, conventional bra straps created a different problem after her shoulder surgeries.

“The scars from my shoulder surgeries are always irritated to a greater or lesser degree by bra straps. Not so with this bra!”

And then:

“I genuinely forget I have my Adele on.”

Her experience shows why choosing a bra after shoulder surgery isn't necessarily only about how you fasten it.

Where the garment sits on your recovering body can matter too.

What Is the Best Type of Bra After Shoulder Surgery?

There isn't one bra that's right for every woman after shoulder surgery. Your surgeon or healthcare professional's instructions should always come first.

Depending on your procedure and movement restrictions, however, there are some practical things worth considering.

1. How Do You Get the Bra On?

Traditional bras can require movements such as:

Reaching behind your back

Raising your arms

Twisting your shoulders

Manipulating small hooks and fasteners

After shoulder surgery, some of these movements may be difficult or may not be appropriate during particular stages of recovery.

2. Where Does the Bra Create Pressure?

Once it's on, consider where the bra sits on your body.

Traditional bra straps may cross areas that are sensitive following shoulder surgery.

Leanne, for example, specifically described conventional bra straps irritating her shoulder surgery scars.

3. Is a Front-Closure Bra Your Only Option?

A front-closure bra may be easier for some women because it avoids fastening hooks behind the back.

But it's worth asking a few more questions:

Do I still need to raise my arm to get into it?

Do I need to twist my shoulder?

Where will the straps sit?

Will anything press against my surgical area?

Could I step into my bra instead?

For some women, an easy-on or step-in bra may be another option if it is compatible with their post-surgery movement restrictions.

Why Is EVOE Different From a Traditional Bra?

EVOE isn't simply a traditional bra with wider straps or a front clasp.

Our bralettes use a soft, body-hugging construction designed to distribute support differently through the garment from conventional bra architecture.

For many women, an EVOE bra can also be stepped into and pulled up, avoiding the need for a conventional back clasp.

That's exactly what another EVOE customer, Mary, described while living with rotator cuff tears in both shoulders:

“I have rotator cuff tears on both shoulders which makes doing up a bra and putting arms up difficult and painful.”

Her solution?

“Evoe bra to my rescue as I can step in/out and no clasp.”

Those are Mary's words, not ours.

Bras for Changing Bodies

Women's bodies aren't static.

They change daily, monthly and throughout our lives.

Our bodies change through ageing, menopause, injury, surgery, treatment, weight changes and changes in mobility.

Shoulder surgery can change something particularly important:

Even if your bra size hasn't changed, the way you're comfortably able to dress may have changed.

The bra that worked for your body before surgery therefore may not be the bra that works for the body you have today.

EVOE was created around a different idea:

Rather than expecting a woman's changing body to continually fit into a fixed traditional bra structure, we believe the garment should work with the woman and her changing body.
