Comments about Empower Mastectomy Bra Insert

Empower is the perfect name for these!! I am 10 years post mastectomy and have struggled to find a comfortable, versatile prosthetic that looks good and is affordable. This product feels like a gift from above!! So comfortable, affordable, and it looks good too!

Comments about Empower Mastectomy Bra Insert

I'm really grateful that these are available and so affordable, especially since I can't get fitted for a permanent prosthetic until 8 weeks post-surgery. I would anticipate still using these inserts for exercise even after that. My only suggestion for the future, which I would have given this a 5-star rating otherwise, is that the A cup insert is still larger than my remaining natural breast, and I normally wore an A-cup bra before this. It would be nice if there were a slightly smaller option for the smallest size, like for petite women who normally wear an XS top. But thank you in general for this item - they're *so* much more affordable than most prosthetics! #sweepstakes

These are comfortable and lightweight. I've been wearing them with my pre-mastectomy bras that have pockets for inserts and they work well. I bought size C cups and they look like a big B or small C under clothes. You have to buy right and left separately.

These are amazing! I am a breast cancer survivor who had a double mastectomy. The inserts give me confidence. Good quality and hold their shape!!

Comments about Empower Mastectomy Bra Insert

Love. I got a size left c and size right b due to varying size. Intended to have fat grafting reconstruction but am focused on health and feeling good now after getting lymphedema. These are light and not as hot as some others. May not hold up as well as some but time will tell. Have to wear with compression bra due to lymphedema..

Super comfortable without the weight of traditional inserts.

I never thought to look for breast inserts at Athleta. It was recommended by a person working at another store who was not able to help me find something that worked for me. I checked them out and they are the best. They are soft enough to maneuver them into the bra pockets, which can be a tight fit, and yet they hold their shape. They are comfortable and look very natural. Thanks Athleta! I am finally able to move forward following my mastectomy until I can get my reconstruction surgery.

These work in most mastectomy (pocketed) bras and bras that have a removable pad. They are light, soft and machine washable (in the bra of you want) I am currently using them in my swim wear but they do shift a bit, could be the swimsuit though. One curiosity is that it doesn't say what edge is up/down. On many breast cancer groups this is a topic of debate, and no one seems to know the intended positioning. Most agree they run a little small and order a size up

As a young survivor, I've tried so many inserts in order to look/ feel "normal." These are the very best by far. Athleta has thought of it all. They're soft so they don't cause pressure/ pain. They provide a laundry bag for washing. I really hope they continue to sell these forever because in a silly sort of way, they have helped with my mental health. I feel like no one is looking at me when I wear these. I blend in.

A friend recommended these to me after my bilateral mastectomy and I'm so glad she did. Light weight, stay in the pocket and very comfortable.
