Breast Cancer Care

 We understand that searching for suitable bras and lingerie after breast surgery can be a frustrating and difficult experience. Our Lingerie evenings help take the stress out of shopping for such items, providing you with tips and guidance on what works well for you, all in a welcoming and friendly environment.

What can you expect?

• Practical information and advice
  Everyone has the chance to have bra fittings from trained store staff and to gather information on suitable products. There will also be a try and buy session during the evening, as well as information and advice on prosthesis.
• A relaxed, informal environment
  Led by Breast Cancer Care staff with trained fitters, they take place in a variety of stores from high street department stores to small boutiques with a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. 
• A chance to share experiences
  There’s time to ask questions, share experiences and talk to others who are in a similar situation to you.

Breast Cancer Care staff are also available to chat through concerns and feelings about body image following surgery, which can help increase self-esteem and build confidence.

Lingerie evenings last around two and a half hours and you will usually be in a group of around 20 women. 

How do I book?

Lingerie evenings are for women who have had breast surgery and are looking for support and advice to find bras and lingerie that are right for them, at any stage following surgery.

To see if this course is right for you, please contact your nearest Breast Cancer Care centre or request further information by using our online services request form.

Can’t make it on the day?

Lingerie evenings take place frequently across the UK, so keep an eye out for upcoming dates. You can also take a look at our Confident Choice booklet that’s packed with information, personal stories and photographs about breast prostheses, bras and clothes after surgery.
