Where can I find affordable front closure bras for my 80 year old Mom with Alzheimer's & mobility issues??

My sister and I have purchased a few in town that were sports bras, but they didn't fit. Mom is a size 32D now. I am not familiar with any of the online companies for the elderly/disabled. I help her shower and dress/undress, but she still has a spark of independence and tries to do it herself as much as possible. She just needs something simple, with no underwires, tshirt backs, etc. Sports bras don't work. Thanks for any assistance.

I've been to my local Walmart, Sears, Penney's. Will go look at Bare Necessities and Foot Smart now. Thanks to all-people on this site are the best.

I took Mom to a nearby outlet store - had vanity fair and playtex and other front closure bras for between $8 and $11. Of course, she told me the wrong bra size and we had to go back! Also look at Walmart - I think they carry Playtex.

Try bare necessities, I have gotten many bras from them, including front closure ones for after surgery, and will need them again now as I face more surgery. I hope you find the perfect match for what you need. All the best, Helen

this may sound silly...BUT...Foot Smart. They have everything from orthro shoes to front closure bras. I live by this catalog for my 86 year old mother.

Ford, you might want to take a look at bras for the arthitic. They have velcro front closures.
