Breast cancer survivors deserve beautiful, well-fitting bras too! Take action!
The trauma of battling breast cancer, undergoing a mastectomy, and using prosthetics is difficult for any woman. After the treatment is completed, many survivors, especially those who require prosthetic breasts, suffer from body image issues1.
Inspired by her mother’s story of survival against breast cancer and her struggle to find bras that fit, Allana Maiden decided to petition Victoria’s Secret, asking them to consider making ‘Survivor’ bras2.
Allana was told by Victoria’s Secret that they felt that the creation, fitting, and sale of these bras would be too complicated3. But Victoria’s Secret engineers fashion multi-million-dollar bras for their runway shows, complete with lovely and improbable angel wings4. Surely a fraction of that time and energy would be well-spent appealing to a new demographic of women who want to look and feel beautiful.
As the largest American retailer of lingerie, Victoria’s Secret is in a unique position to make beautiful, well-fitting, and affordable post-mastectomy bras easily accessible to survivors of breast cancer.
Women who don’t want breast reconstruction after surgery deserve options that help them feel confident and look how they want, just as are available to everyone else.
Sign the petition asking Victoria’s Secret to reconsider their decision not to create bras for breast cancer survivors.
