Anchoring Your Bra

Following is from the American Cancer Society's A Breast Cancer Journey, Your Personal Guidebook From The Experts At The American Cancer Society, Atlanta, American Cancer Society, 2001.

If you are using your temporary form or decide to purchase a lightweight form designed for early post-mastectomy wear, the weight may not be sufficient to hold a bra in place. This can be prevented by anchoring the bra.

Take a piece of elastic and sew to either side of the cup of the bra. It should stretch comfortably in a "V" to the waistband of your panties or pantyhose. Attach a garter to your underwear at the point of the "V".
