In their words

★★★★★

Very useful for breast cancer survivors. It solved my problem of converting normal bras into mastectomy bras.

I searched two years for a comfortable mastectomy bra for my mother. She is happy with it now.

Why we exist

“It began in a hospital waiting room. Women recovering from mastectomy and childbirth were wearing bras that added to their pain instead of easing it. That gap was the whole reason for Sugar Shell.”
