18 Days and Wanting to Take a Break from Sports Bra?

Sports bra after breast reduction
Substituting a "regular" bra for the sports bra for a limited number of hours should not be damaging to the result.

Sports bra use following breast reduction
Thanks for your question. I don't think it will change any of your long term results if you take a break from your sports bra for a few hours. Usually it will feel good for a few hours to be out of it then you will miss the support that the bra offers and will feel better when you get back into the bra. Hope this helps to answer your question.
