Getting back in the water after breast surgery can feel like a big milestone. Whether you’ve recently had a mastectomy or lumpectomy, or you’re many years post-op, the idea of putting on swimwear again can bring a mix of emotions – excitement, uncertainty, and everything in between.
At Eloise, we speak to women every day who feel unsure about where to start when it comes to post-surgery swimwear. If this sounds like you, please know you’re not alone – and there is swimwear out there that will help you feel supported, confident and completely yourself again.
Common Concerns About Swimming After Breast Surgery
Many women worry about how their breast prosthesis will behave in the water. Will it stay in place? Will it look natural? Can I still feel stylish in a swimsuit?
Others simply want swimwear that helps them feel like themselves again – secure, feminine, and free to move without worry.
That’s where pocketed swimwear comes in – designed especially for use with a breast form, and offering the right blend of form, function and freedom.
Why Pocketed Swimwear Makes All the Difference
Mastectomy swimwear is specially crafted to support women who wear a prosthesis. The discreet built-in pockets hold your breast form securely in place – even while swimming or doing water aerobics – giving you peace of mind that nothing is going to shift or move.
At Eloise, our range of mastectomy swimwear includes a wide variety of flattering and functional designs. Many styles include:
- Higher necklines and underarm coverage for modesty and security
- Adjustable straps for a customisable fit
- Tummy control panels for added shaping
- Quick-drying fabrics that keep their shape
- Built-in bra pockets for a breast form
We stock trusted brands like Anita Care, known for their years of expertise in post-surgery lingerie and swimwear. These mastectomy-friendly swimsuits are not only practical – they’re beautiful too, with gorgeous prints, sleek cuts, and feminine touches that make all the difference.
Can I Swim with a Breast Form?
Yes – and we encourage you to! Some modern swim prostheses like the Aqua Pure Fresh swim form are made specifically for water use. They’re lighter than traditional breast forms and allow for comfortable, confident movement in the pool or sea.
If you’re unsure whether your current prosthesis is suitable, just get in touch – we’re happy to help with friendly, expert advice.
Pairing the right prosthesis with a supportive pocketed swimsuit means you can enjoy the water without worrying about fit, movement, or appearance.
