functional and super cute
Preparing for a double mastectomy, and this is exactly what I wanted. I washed and dried with sensitive soap and unscented dryer sheet and it's fluffy and ready for action. Or inaction, since I will be using it as I recover/sit around and will myself to heal and do nothing else for weeks. It has adjustable shoulder straps, it also has a strap for around the back. There are two good sized adorably heart shaped pockets; one on the front and one on the back inside. These are perfectly sized for a phone or tv remote or whatever you normally want access to and won't be able to reach around for. The from heart pocket is also a functional muff- like you can reach your hands though to rest- it's quite comforting. There are also deep pockets on the sides that are presumably for the reusable ice packs that came with this package. Be careful about ice/heat- I'm sure it will be a relief for sentinel node healing, but it's dangerous in the double mastectomy zone as there will be no blood supply hence no sensation and that could be potentially dangerous if iced or heated. This pillow is super soft plush fluff- like it's a squimallow for boobs. The cover isn't removable, but like I said, I washed and dried the entire item with no issues (just make sure you're doing it with items that won't shed and pill on your fluffy pillow. Oh, and a mesh bag for drains is also included in this- helpful to have a few of these for cycling in case of spillage (gross but entirely possible). My only ask is that mastectomy items come in more than pinks and grays. Like how about a sunshine yellow or mellow green or comforting blue? Just a thought. Read more
