"Compression" Bra Versus "Sports" Bra

User Avatar
Lard
What is the difference between a compression bra & a sports bra? Although my surgeon provides a compression bra after surgery, I will need some other type of supportive bra while the compression garment is being washed. Compression bras are expensive & if a sports bra (w/ a front zipper so I don't have to raise my arms)will do the same thing, then I'd rather not spend the $50+ to buy a special garment.
