Chemo Bras
You deserve comfort in your recovery. And for us, it's personal.
Our chemo bras were designed and created by us following a very long and frustrating experience shopping for bras following our mother's experience during her recovery from a lumpectomy and radiation. We believe finding a great post-surgery bra should be a given, not a struggle.

FAQs

Which heart&core bra should I wear during chemotherapy treatment?
We offer two options based on your treatment stage and whether you've had surgery:
- Larissa Bra: Best if your surgery required surgical drains. Features specialized drain management tabs to keep drains secure and comfortable.
- Serena Bra: Ideal for recovery after drains are removed or if your surgery didn't require drains.
Both bras work beautifully during chemotherapy treatment, offering gentle support and comfort when your body needs it most.

The pockets keep everything in place so you can move with confidence.
