FAQs
Which heart&core bra is best for weight loss?
Which heart&core bra is best for weight loss?
The Shirl Bra is specifically designed for weight loss journeys and changing bodies. Featuring a double zipper that allows for adjustability in the front closure, it's perfect for accommodating changes in size as you lose weight or recover from bariatric surgery or breast reduction. The adjustable compression adapts to your body throughout your transformation, providing consistent support without needing frequent replacements.
How does the double zipper help with weight loss?
How does the double zipper help with weight loss?
The patent-pending double zipper is a game-changer for bodies in transition. Unlike traditional bras that only fit well at one specific size, the double zipper provides multiple adjustment points that allow you to customize the fit as your body changes. You can adjust from both the top and bottom of the closure, accommodating fluctuations in bust size and band circumference throughout your weight loss journey. This means you can get months of comfortable wear from a single bra rather than needing to purchase new bras every few weeks as your size changes.
Can I wear this bra after bariatric surgery?
Can I wear this bra after bariatric surgery?
Absolutely! The Shirl bra is ideal for bariatric surgery recovery. After procedures like gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, or lap band surgery, your body will change significantly and rapidly. The adjustable features accommodate the dramatic size changes you'll experience during your weight loss, the front closure makes dressing easy if you have limited mobility or abdominal discomfort, the moisture-wicking fabric helps manage any increased perspiration, and the gentle compression provides support and comfort as your body transforms.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear or just for exercise?
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear or just for exercise?
Our weight loss bra is versatile enough for both everyday wear and active pursuits. The moisture-wicking fabric keeps you comfortable whether you're going about your daily routine or exercising, the supportive compression works well for low to moderate-impact activities, and the breathable design prevents overheating during movement. It's designed to support you through all aspects of your weight loss journey.
Can I use my FSA or HSA to purchase a weight loss bra?
Can I use my FSA or HSA to purchase a weight loss bra?
Yes! Our weight loss bras are FSA and HSA approved, which means you can use your pre-tax health savings funds to purchase them. This is especially helpful if you're recovering from bariatric surgery or breast reduction surgery, as post-surgical garments that support your recovery are considered eligible medical expenses. Even for non-surgical weight loss, many FSA/HSA plans cover supportive garments that contribute to your health and wellness goals.
