There’s nothing like beating cancer to make you feel like you’re on top of the world. That is, until it comes to shopping for new bras. Don’t let it stress you out, though. Here are a few pointers to make sure you find the best post surgery bras to suit you: Wide straps win Wide adjustable straps win over thin ones any day. They’re better designed to provide you with as much support as you need. And unlike thin straps that often dig into your skin, leave lines and make you feel like a trussed-up turkey, wide straps are more comfortable. Also, the Mayo Clinic says they reduce the risk of lymphedema, which is a common problem for breast cancer survivors who’ve had their lymph nodes removed or damaged from the cancer treatments. Deeper cups Deeper cups offer more support for your implants. These cups accommodate and keep them secure which is essential to getting an ideal and comfortable fit. Also, deeper cups, especially those that fit close to your breastbone, keep your breast form from getting seen even when you bend over. That’s the kind of protection you need on a daily basis. Go wire-free Because wires can rub against incisions or scar tissue, it can get uncomfortable fast. Wear bras without wires instead. You’ll feel better as soon as you put them on. Soft fabrics and seams Anything that rubs against your skin is a bad idea. Go for soft, smooth fabrics that won’t irritate your skin or rub against it for better comfort. That’s the best kind for you after your breast cancer treatments. With soft fabrics, irritated or inflamed scar tissue won’t be a problem. So keep these tips in mind when you start stocking up on your new bras. By knowing what makes for a comfy and ideal fit, you can cope with and recover from the experience much, much sooner.

As medical professionals, we can often border on obsessive when keeping our uniforms clean. Come to think of it; we might even sterilize them if we only had the time and resources! And who can blame us? We’re exposed to a hygienic nightmare of bacteria, viruses and fungi, all of which we’ve pledged to combat for the sake and health of humanity. Enter Antimicrobial Scrubs Nowadays we have the option to get antimicrobial scrubs. These scrubs are treated with a substance that helps protect them from bacteria and other microbes. This not only means that these scrubs minimize the amount of bacteria on our clothes, it also protects us from unwanted odors. Nowadays, antimicrobial scrubs are pretty popular among healthcare professionals. It’s easy to see why. However, there are a few misconceptions about them that need to be quashed. Wash After Use Just because your scrubs are antimicrobial doesn’t mean that you can get away with not washing them. Even though they will be far less prone to microbial growth than ordinary scrubs, it will still undergo the normal wear of everyday life. After all, it’s going to go through sweat, coffee stains and, God forbid, the occasional bodily fluid. Even if things don’t get that bad, daily activities and exposure to patients still certainly call for washing after wearing. Scrubs for Life The good news is that, because it’s antimicrobial, it will last much longer than your regular ones. Bacteria and fungi play a role in the wear and decay of fabric. Because antimicrobial scrubs tend to harbor less, if not none at all, of these microscopic critters, you’ll find that it’ll take them years to wear down. So if you want extra protection from disease, antimicrobial scrubs may be just the thing you need. In fact, some studies show that they are protective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which is a pretty big deal in hospital settings. All you need to remember, really, is that their antimicrobial property isn’t a good reason...
