Our compression wraps are perfect for wearing after top surgery to keep swelling down without needing to lift your arms. Can also be used for hysterectomy and other torso post-op compression needs, or simply for waist training.
These soft bands of high quality elastic are premade in sizes XS-4X, or we can custom-make larger sizes - see the "fit" tab above. There's really no risk with going for 1 size larger than you think you need, as it offers plenty of surface for the special no-scratch velcro to hook anywhere on the outer layer of the band and secure your bind firmly! NEVER SIZE DOWN
Offers semi-rigid compression ideal for the first 1-3 weeks after surgery (or as recommended by your surgeon). Our softer Zip Binder (available in XXS-6X) is a very comfortable post-op option, as long as the patient's range of movement allows for safely getting arms through the armholes. If also purchasing a Zip Binder for post-op use, please only use your upper chest measurement for sizing. For those going fully flat, we recommend going 1 size down or 2 sizes in the stretchier "lightweight" version. For those getting a radical reduction, we recommend getting the size listed in the chart for your upper chest measurement, or 1 size down in the "lightweight" version.
We now have different widths to choose from, as requested. Narrow widths are great for people who will have a significantly smaller chest than belly after top surgery, so that it won't cut into the waist or armpits. Wider widths are good for those with particularly long torsos, very low incisions, or for people recovering from abdominal surgery rather than top surgery. We suspect people have also asked for wider widths because they are using these for regular binding, despite its intended purpose. Though pre-op customers have left good reviews using this compression wrap as a strapless binder, we are obligated to let you know that binders with velcro closures may bind breasts unevenly, so please try to be safe and close these in the center front if you're going to do it anyway.
The Post-Op Wrap's black color prevents staining, but it can be bleached for decontamination. Machine wash and dry it with the rest of your synthetic garments on low heat, or alone on delicate.
Do not use if allergic to nylon, cotton, terylene polyester, or rubber elastane.
Fit
For post-op use, please base your purchase on the circumference around the upper chest just under the arms and above the bust. Though customers have left good reviews using this compression wrap as a strapless binder, we are obligated to let you know that binders with velcro closures may bind unevenly, so please be safe and close these in the center front, for any kind of use.
Sizes listed below are the actual length of the band, so please select one that is at least 5cm/2in longer than the chest measurement. If getting a radical reduction/no going flat, please get at least 1 size larger. There's really no risk with going for a larger size than you think you need, as the wrap offers plenty of surface area for the special no-scratch velcro to hook anywhere on the outer layer of the band and secure your bind firmly! NEVER SIZE DOWN
These soft bands of high quality elastic now come in 8 premade sizes:
XS - approximately 70cm (best suited for people with chest measurements up to 25.5 inches around)
S - approximately 80cm (best suited for people with chest measurements up to 29 inches around)
M - approximately 90cm (best suited for people with chest measurements up to 33 inches around)
L - approximately 100cm (best suited for people with chest measurements up to 37 inches around)
XL - approximately 110cm (best suited for people with chest measurements up to 41 inches around)
2X - approximately 130cm (best suited for people with chest measurements up to 48 inches around)
3X - approximately 150cm (best suited for people with chest measurements up to 56 inches around)
4X - approximately 170cm (best suited for people with chest measurements up to 64 inches around)
Larger sizes can be made-to-order using 2 smaller wraps:
5X - 2 "L" (100cm bands spliced) to create a wrap approximately 190cm long, for people up to 72"
6X - 2 "XL" (110cm bands spliced) to create a wrap approximately 210cm long, for people up to 80"
We were asked to offer wider widths than our original 16cm, so we had the plus sizes made in 18cm, but we find that wraps that are too wide for some body types tend to bite into the armpits and/or waist more, so 14cm wraps are now also available for people with very short torsos or significantly larger waists than post-op chest measurements.
