Comfort your body deserves after breast cancer treatment
The Solidea Silver Wave Skin Bra uses micro-massaging fabric to gently ease swelling and discomfort — so you can get on with your day (and night) with confidence.
View the Silver Wave Skin BraAfter treatment, the discomfort doesn't always stop
Breast and trunk lymphoedema can develop weeks, months or even years after surgery. Finding a bra that actually helps (rather than making things worse) can feel impossible.
Swelling that won't settle
Your breast, chest wall or underarm area feels heavy and swollen. Some days it's bearable; other days it affects everything you do.
Restless, uncomfortable nights
The discomfort gets worse when you lie down. Finding a sleeping position that doesn't aggravate the swelling is a nightly struggle.
Nothing fits right any more
Regular bras dig in, ride up or press on sensitive areas. Post-surgical bras can feel restrictive and clinical. You just want something that feels normal.
A patented wave-textured fabric that gently massages the skin as you move, promoting lymphatic drainage throughout the day and night.
A bra designed around lymphoedema — not in spite of it
-
Micro-massaging fabric for fluid drainage
The wave-textured surface gently promotes lymphatic return in the breast and underarm area, helping to ease swelling as you wear it.
-
No hooks, no seams in reinforced areas
Easy to put on and take off even with limited arm mobility after surgery. Nothing to dig in or irritate sensitive skin.
-
Comfortable enough for day and night
Rated "excellent" or "good" for comfort by 100% of participants in a clinical audit. Many women wore it overnight for continued relief.
-
Silver ion yarn for lasting freshness
Bacteriostatic properties counteract bacteria and prevent odours — ideal for round-the-clock wear.
A bra you'll actually want to wear
No clinical look. No medical feel. The Silver Wave Skin Bra is designed to be worn with confidence: at home, at work, at the gym, or in bed.

Speak to the TeamReal differences, not empty promises
Here's what the clinical audit found and what women who wore the bra actually experienced.
Reduction in clinical symptoms
Breast Symptom Assessment Scores dropped from an average of 5.8 to 2.3 with every single participant showing improvement.
Drop in self-reported discomfort
Women reported halved discomfort scores. Those with moderate-to-severe swelling dropped from 70% to just 15% of the group.
Rated comfort as "excellent" or "good"
Every woman in the audit rated the bra's comfort positively and all 20 continued wearing it throughout the study.
Found it easy to put on and take off
No hooks, no fiddly fastenings. Designed for ease which is especially important when arm mobility is limited after surgery.
In their own words
Feedback from the Wounds UK 2025 pilot audit — real women managing breast and trunk lymphoedema after cancer treatment.
"I love it; it is part of my routine now. In the evening I have a shower, do massage and put on the bra. It is like a second skin. I go to bed and don't think about the swelling."
"The swelling has definitely improved. The bra is very comfortable and nice to wear. It washes easily and stays fresh."
"I noticed a difference almost straightaway and was surprised at the improvement. My breast is less hard and the skin feels more flexible."
"I am very happy with the bra — it seems to do the massage that I would normally do. My breast feels softer."
"I wake up in the morning and swelling has gone — it previously felt like a constant tennis ball under my arm."
