RENOVA MEDICAL WEAR Mastectomy Recovery Shirt with Drain Pockets

I almost bought everything that others and Amazon was selling to me for post op. Because one can’t be more than prepared. Good thing I listened to someone from an online support group who told me what was the most impt. This type of shirt is the only thing you will really need because you will only be in bed and hospital for the first 2-3 weeks after your surgery. I tried buying those waistband with pockets which I think looks cute but it’s one more thing that you have to wear when you’re trying to be as comfortable as possible while recovering. This brand has 4 pockets inside and straps to line up the tubes. That’s why I chose this. Prior to surgery, I didn’t know if I was going to have 2 or 4 tubes. I’m glad I bought the one with 4 pockets because I ended up having 4 drainages. I tried putting my drainages in my pajama pockets but it’s not as comfortable as having the drainages in the inside of a shirt pockets. Imagine going to the bathroom and pulling down your pants with your drainages in your pant pockets. It’s doable but again, you’re trying to be as comfortable as you can be during your recovery period. And at least based on mine and another person who went through a mastectomy, we went to the bathroom a lot! Probably every 20 to 30 min. 4 stars because the material could be better. This started pilling on day 2 (without washing yet). It pilled from just rubbing against the comforter. Nothing that a fabric shaver can’t fix but if I’m paying $30 for a shirt that I’m only going to use for 2-3 weeks, they can use a better fabric. Fabric is soft like a cotton t-shirt material. I do wish I have 2 of this shirt so I can have something to wear while I wash 1 especially after coming from the hospital wearing this shirt. But I’m glad I just saved my money and tuck the drainage in my pj pockets while washing this shirt. I’m a true size 6 and I got the size medium in this shirt. It’s loose on me but not oversized-looking. The medium can definitely fit someone who is a size 8. If one is a size 10, it really all depends if you want something loose for comfort. I normally wear a small but went with a medium on this and I’m glad small was not an option, otherwise, I would have bought a small and would not be as comfortable as I am in a medium. You also do not want it to be just right on you because otherwise, the drainages may look obviously bulging if the shirt is close to being fitted. Hope this helps and hope you have an easy recovery! After post op, I realized that my fear before surgery is greater than what really happens. To me, falling off a bike and scraping your knees is more painful than mastectomy. So fear not! You got this!

I am extremely picky about fabric and this is a winner!!! Its very soft and washes beautifully. I went up a size which is a great idea because you don’t want anything too tight or clingy. There are 2 deep pockets for your drains which is imperative!! I’m day 13 into my surgery and I definitely recommend this shirt and suggest purchasing 2. This way you will Alway have a clean one to put on.

I go these for my sister who had to have breast surgery. She was going to have drains and needed someway to be a comfortable as possible. I bought the black ones for easy wash. She loved them and wore them for 2 weeks. She said they were a life saver for her drains. Highly recommend!

The drains have four pockets they can go in (I had three) and the tubes could stay secure. It gave a feeling of normalcy. Buy two to alternate in wash! These are snaps and the other I ordered was button. The color was nice and bright

Unfortunately, this shirt was too small for me and I had to return it. If it had fit I could tell it would have been a good shirt to have. Shipper was easy to work with.

Shirt is comfortable and washes well. Drain pockets are wonderful. I ordered my regular size and there was plenty of room for the drains The shirt is light weight so it's good for summer. I just wish it came in other colors.

Perfect solution for drains after double mastectomy. I don’t know how I would have managed without these shirts. They are comfortable. And they wash well.

I had a DI double mastectomy in June and let me tell you..this shirt made recovery SO MUCH EASIER! The pockets for the drain bulbs and the straps for the bulb tubes made sleeping and moving around so much more comfortable. It helped to make sure I wasn’t pulling on my tubes. I know they are $30 but I really wish I had bought more than 1. I lived in this shirt and it again made everything so much easier so I genuinely recommend this product!

Very soft material. Ordered 1 size bigger, very comfortable after mastectomy. Wash very well, didn't shrink.

Bought this shirt for breast reduction surgery and paired with a comfortable post surgery bra this is the second most important item for a comfortable recovery. The front closure is a must have. It has inside pocket and clips for drains. Soft material. Easy to get on right after surgery. You can sleep in it the first few days. Wash it, repeat.

So I am a transgender man that has ordered this for an upcoming double mastectomy. I will say that on my body this shirt is a bit tighter in the arms than I expected but the fit everywhere else is perfect. I am usually a large but ordered the XL to make sure there was room for drains and padding. I also prefer baggy fit for recovery. There is clips on the inside loops for drains tubes. Buttons snap perfect and material is super soft.

This top was my most valuable purchase before my mastectomy. The inside pockets for drains, the snap closure front and comfortable fit made it ideal. The material is soft and roomy. I bought an XL which is my usual size and it was perfect. I took the shirt with me to the hospital to wear when discharged and the nurses were really impressed. My home visiting nurses think it’s great as well. They’ve never seen a shirt like this. I highly recommend it to anyone going in for breast surgery.

Love this top! Very cozy, soft and the 4 pockets were perfect for my 3 drains. Must have! I recommend you buy 2 - I regretted not having a back up right away
