POSTOP BRAS
Kmart Zip Up Bras
The most comfortable bra you will own. We use them postoperatively and recommend them for sleeping indefinitely! Kmart stores are all around Australia (obviously). But if you're rural you can always get these babies shipped to you for around $9.
$19 for 2
SIZES: Just go with your normal clothing size.
Exquisite Bodies
Another place we source our postop bras from. Our favourite is the "Bella".
SHIPPING: Free, for orders over $150
RETURNS IF IT DOESN'T FIT: No, item must be in original packaging (which makes it hard to try on).
Berlei Post-Surgery Range
A selection of wire-free bras that include zip-ups and sports bras. You can find Berlei in Myer, but the whole collection is available online.
SIZES: 8B - 20E depending on style.
SHIPPING: Free for orders over $49.
RETURNS: Free online returns within 30 days. If you purchase online you must return online.
SPORTS BRAS
Rockwear
Huge selection of sports bras - including zip-up numbers. Locations Australia wide.

SHIPPING: Free for orders over $125 or $10 for standard & $15 for express.
RETURNS: Yes, minus shipping $6.95 for online or free in store returns.
Lorna Jane
For some reason, Lorna Jane doesn't get that much love... maybe because they don't offer zip-up bras.
SIZES: XS - XL

Cotton-On Body
Our patients love this brand for cheap sports or sleeping bras.

Big Girls Don't Cry
For bras, swimwear, and bridal. I love this store, it regularly has sales and you can get awesome quality bras for about $40 so it's worth signing up for their emails. You can purchase via their website or if you're in Brisbane check out their store: 1a/1806 Sandgate Rd, Virginia.

Everyone knows Honey Birdette! Locations all around Australia but can be purchased online as well. Sign up to their email marketing to be notified of sales.
