Yesterday marks 1 week since my broken shoulder surgery.  I cannot get a bra on and not sure when I will be able to..  I am rather big busted 32G...so going braless is not fun.  I have been wearing a snug stretchy cami and my clothing is loose but I need more support.

I did see on Amazon bras with a front zipper, which I think a zipper would be easier than traditional clasps...anyone have experience/advice?  Thanks

@Mom2Dogs   I'm so sorry about your shoulder. I hope it heals quickly and you're not in pain.  Years ago, I had a sports bra with a front zipper. As long as you are able to move your hand & forearm to hold the zipper side taut, you should be able to zip it on your own. Try to find one with a nice large zipper.

@cheriere   Good point, Maybe I should see if there are any bras that close with velcro.

@Mom2Dogs   I was afraid it might be hard for you to do. I didn't even think about a Velcro closure though! That's a great idea! I hope you can find something 🙏

@Mom2Dogs   Found this easy open velcro front closure bra on the web. Hope it helps.

@ciao_bella Thank you so much for looking for me (one finger typing takes forever).   ..that bra looks comfortable.

@Mom2Dogs  Hope it helps.  I have a rotator cuff injury, so I understand the predicament you're in.

@Mom2Dogs When I had my broken shoulder along with 3 broken hand bones at the same time and was in a complete immobolizer as well as the hand cast, I cauld only wear a strapless stretchy bra of Rhonda Shear's and I am a 40 DD.  Not much support but with the immobolizer very tight and not removable for weeks except to loosen at elbow to move it once daily, I did not really need much support as my arm tight against my chest not moveable it did not matter!

Wishing you a speedy recovery and just hang in there.

@Pook   Wow, I thought I was immobile, obviously not...I hope you had a full recovery.  Today, I can feel a little space between my armpit and my side, progress!!

For the short term, can you wear a bra using only one strap ...  on the opposite shoulder?   Just let the "loose" strap hang on your side?
