While there are many fully functional mastectomy bras that have been designed for women who have survived cancer, many of them leave something to be desired in terms of the feminine details that they offer. The Louise Listening Post-Double Mastectomy Bra from Stella McCartney sets itself apart as a comfortable and feminine design that offers plenty of support for women as they heal.
The bra is constructed with a blend of cotton and includes thoughtful features such as a front zipper, a wide underband and deep sides.
Earlier this year, Stella McCartney teamed up with Alicia Keys for a breast cancer awareness campaign centered on "celebrating femininity in the face of severity" and encouraging women to keep themselves healthy with regular checks.
All proceeds from the Louise Listening Post-Double Mastectomy Bra are donated to the Hello Beautiful Foundation founded by breast cancer survivor Jane Hutchison.
