Swim Separates You'll Love
Post-mastectomy swimming is all about feeling confident and comfortable without compromising your style. Swim separates are a worthwhile consideration for your post-mastectomy wardrobe.
Rash Vests are a fabulous addition. Not only do they offer sun protection for the back and shoulders but they give that little extra coverage if you are feeling self-conscious.
You may initially feel a little over-exposed after surgery. It takes time to get used to your new silhouette and you might appreciate covering up. A swim skirt or shorts are practical and stylish ways to show a little less skin.
Lastly, a stylish beach cover-up will have you feeling fabulous when you're out of the water. If you do wish to stay covered up while swimming, a mesh kaftan or skirt are able to get wet and dry quickly.
