Recovery Robe,Post Mastectomy Breast Cancer Gifts Women,Breast Surgery Robe with Internal Pockets,Mommy Makeover,Tummy Tuck

I’ve had breast cancer twice, 17 years apart. Determined this time to be better prepared for reconstruction surgery. The inner pockets are great for drain bulbs. After reconstruction I had 4 drains. Sure you can keep them in your pants pockets but forget they are there one time when going to the bathroom, and they will quickly remind you they are stitched in! Great for tummy tuck drains, too. Material is nice and not too thin to wear in hospital or in front of company. I actually used it as my gown with nothing under and found the time with drains, much more bearable. Looking back I should have ordered a larger size but the XL worked fine and maybe the little bit of snugness was helpful to hold drains and tubes secure. I had two Brobes and recommend two so one can be washed while wearing the other. Believe me, this was my 4th time with drains, first time with abdominal drains, I tried the button up pjs several times and always, always went back to these brobes within a couple of hours. Would like to see a few more lower buttons.

I ordered this for my recovery after a bilateral mastectomy and am very pleased with it. All of the nurses in the hospital raved about how stylish and adorable I looked! I can wear this long after recovery so that helps ease the pain of the price tag. But for recovery, having pockets (two on each side) for the drain bulbs is almost priceless because they are such a nuisance. You can pin the bulbs to your clothing but it is so nice to just be able to slip them inside a pocket and forget about it. It also gives you quick & easy access to work the tubing frequently as ordered by the surgeon. The fabric is soft and drapes nicely. I'm a size 2, 116 lbs., & ordered a small. It fit but there was plenty of room, even when I cinched the ties tightly. I wish that extra small was an option.I have not worn the bra (velcro closure in front) that comes with the robe because I must have *a lot* of compression right now in order to be comfortable and this bra provides none. The fabric feels very soft, though, and I plan to wear it later. It seems like it would be a comfortable sleeping bra. It has pockets for ice packs that are available on The Brobe website. That seems like a really nice feature if you're able to wear it and I was disappointed that I couldn't.Overall, I do feel it is overpriced but I understand that it's a small company. That being said, the material is of good quality and it is well made so I don't feel that I was ripped off or anything. I would absolutely recommend it to others if it is within their budget.

I like the product BUT it is too expensive

My Aunt sent me a link to this robe and I was hesitant because of the price but once I received it I was very impressed by the stretchable soft fabric. I got black so no blood spill would get on it. I had a mastectomy on my left breast and I couldn’t wait to get out of the hospital robe and put this on. I didn’t need the bra that it came with but I loved the pockets to hold the drains and I wore it for 5 days straight. It was the perfect temperature and easy to sleep in. I am 5’9 and 126 pounds and I ordered a medium I could have fit in a small as the medium had a lot of room. If I were to order again I would get a small. I highly suggest this robe to make you feel a little bit put together during a very hard time. Way to go designer! I would like to see mother of pearl buttons or non contrasting buttons as I am not a fan of the coconut/wood buttons. I am a designer in the fashion industry so I am pretty picky to say the least. It’s a great purchase and I would buy it again if needed. I will be wearing it again on mastectomy number 2. I wish more people would put more thought into garments like this as we all need to feel good when going through a hard time like this. Thank you and great job.

Purchased this robe for my wife prior to being discharged for hospital. She had cancer in one breast but opted for bilateral mastectomy which resulted in 3 drains. She is 5'4 ~ 180lbs. We purcased XL which fits her very well and accomodates all the drains. She wore this home from the hospital and immediately remarked on its softness. She likes the fact that its not floor length which allows her better circulation since she often feels hot these days. In taking those first few steps on the road to recovering her mobility, this robe allowed her to grasp a pillow to her chest and not worry about carrying drain lines.Update 03/2019: Those opting for reconstructive surgery will find this robe is the gift that keeps on giving. After 3 rounds of reconstructive surgery (each time multiple drains were involved), the transition home was smoother because of this robe. It has held nicely up over almost two years and continues to do its job. We purchased one as a gift for an aunt who was recently diagnosed. My wife is now cancer free, and is moving on with life. God Bless all women that go this and thank heavens for this product.

Today is Saturday and I had DMX on Thursday. I wore an MX shirt ($60) with drain pockets home from the hospital and thought that was good stuff. HOWEVER, when I got home I changed into this Brobe and am THRILLED! It is sooo comfy and soft (hang dry). If I had it to do over again, I would buy 2 Brobes and skip the shirts altogether. The material, oh my, so soft and comfy. The drain pockets are WAY beyond those in the other expensive shirt. Slept last night in the Brobe and drains stayed perfectly in place. The Brobe is worth more than I paid for it, although it’s expensive, given how wonderful it truly is. Be GOOD to YOURSELF! Buy 2 if you can! Thank you, Brobe, for such a great MX product. Words cannot express how happy I am with this product, and I’m sure it will be my go to even after drains and healing. It’s like the BEST PJs EVER!
