Mastectomy Bra

Abstract

This invention relates to brassieres for people who have undergone mastectomies. This brassiere features cups with breast prosthetics that can drop down into a novel u-shaped pouch from the top, thereby allowing for a proper and secure fit with no chance of the prosthetic from slipping out. The prosthetics that can be lifted into the novel top pocket on the brassiere can vary in size such that the user can switch sizes upon her desire. The crisscross straps on the back of the bra create a tension that ensures that the prosthetics are securely positioned on the front.
