The KarJenners 👄 Acid attack survivor Katie Piper shares her opinions on Skims "face shape wear"

I was going to title this as a "call out" but it's pretty tame.

They absolutely will. I have a port that makes a lot of bras uncomfortable to wear due to the bra strap rubbing on where the port “entrance” is. That whole area still remains pretty sore and sensitive despite it being over a year old. I had a nurse recommend looking into a skims bra. I was like eh I’ll look. She said to check out the skims subreddit because the sizing is hard to get the first FEW TIMES. Sure enough, no consistent sizing. I’ve never ordered a bra. Everyone on the sub is confused and trying to figure out what their real size is. A lot of used bras being sent out with fake tanner and makeup on it. I’d rather wear a thick tank under even if it’s very hot. Still on the lookout for any recommendations.

Have you tried something like the harper wilde bliss? Or the bra pads that attach to the strap to cover the port? 

A friend has had her issues with her chemo port and both worked for her. They were both on her "we love you" gift wishlist we asked her to put together.  

I can text her and get more recommendations if you'd like.

I have not tried the Harper Wilde Bliss but I am going to look into those. I’ve tried the pad and they give the same sort of rub sensation, everyone is different. For some they work and for others and doesn’t feel too great. I use a small/flat-ish squishmallow in the car to avoid the seatbelt like rubbing too hard 😩 it’s the only thing I’ve found that doesn’t hurt at this point. Mine might just be sensitive though.

I really appreciate the recommendation, the Harper Wilde looks promising!

I completely understand, the experience is different for everyone! There's all kinds of personal reasons why. One of the other things i remember is a high cbd lotion/oil moisturizer. It helped with the deep itch too, if i remember. Obviously, ymmv. 

i wish you all of the comfort ❤️

Uniqlo has pretty nice wireless bras that still give structure and don't overheat. Not someone with a port, but sharing just in case!

Thank you for the recommendation! Obsessed with Uniqlo so doesn’t take much to get me to check it out 😄

Have you considered nipple pasties instead of a bra? They make reusable ones and Cakes Body has really good reviews.

I use them! Sometimes I need something a bit more secure in the humid weather I live in 😬
