Where can I find a bra that’s easy for an elder woman to put on?

krnhersh Dec 2010
yes, they really are very understanding and full of information.
--and I was able to find one for my mom.
On a funny note, I wasnt there when the pkg arrived.
And when I got to moms house I noticed something strange.
I looked like she had a wide elastic band ,around her chest-
the woman sent over from the agency had put the bra on backwards!.
my poor mom was walking around in a backwards bra--
now i dont know how someone who is supposed to have experience working with elderly and demantia patients,
and who is a woman herself- how she could have mistaken
the obvious form of the front of this item, but she did,.
I thought maybe mom tried to do it herself- so I asked-
no- she didnt- the aide did-
it was funny in a way, but sad too- how uncomfortable it must have been, and how absurd to not recognize something was not right..
ah, for the lighter moments in our day---
Have a Happy New Year..

I recently found cotton, front closure, sports bra at Walmart, for 2/$10. They are very comfortable. Also, depending on the person's build and amount of social interaction, they could also wear a tank top with a shelf bra built in, or for around the house just a basic tank under a shirt.

The American Cancer Society puts out a catalog called "TLC Tender Loving Care" and it has all sorts of comfort wear for Breast Cancer patients and such. Visit www.tlcdirect.org . or call 1-800-850-9445
It would make a nice Holiday gift!
