Bare Essentials Padded Bandeau by Ambra

The Ambra Bare Essentials Padded Bandeau is a strapless pocketed non underwire bra that comes in two colours.

Its seamless cup doesn't show under sheer tops, the strapless design suits off-the-shoulder tops, and medium width top and bottom bands keep it in place.

When is the Ambra Bare Essentials Padded Bandeau the right choice?

The Ambra Bare Essentials Padded Bandeau is a good choice if you're looking for a non underwire bra with more breast and chest comfort, that stabilises the breasts during radiation or chemotherapy and that's a metal free bra when needed for medical scans.

What breast shape will it give me?

The Ambra Bare Essentials Padded Bandeau has a moulded cup with a removable pad that gives you a more rounded breast shape and can hide some breast unevenness.

It can be worn as a fashion bra with or without the cup pads in the pocketed cup, fitted with a partial breast form to balance breast shape or add breast volume, or worn as a mastectomy bra with a breast form.

Is this bra comfortable to wear after breast surgery?

The Ambra Bare Essentials Padded Bandeau feels more comfortable when transitioning to fashion bras after breast surgery because it has a wider soft band, there are no underwires to press on breast incisions or tender parts of the breast or chest, and no side stays in the band to press on underarm incisions.

Its high underarm band usually covers a mastectomy incision and the tissue flap at the end of a mastectomy incision and has the softer seams that are less likely to irritate lower lumpectomy or axillary clearance scars.

Does this bra retain underarm and back tissue?

Its higher underarm and back band retains underarm and back tissue.

If you're wearing an Ambra Bralette

If you're wearing an Ambra Bralette with 8/10, 10/12 etc sizing, check the label (if you haven't cut it off) because sometimes the mind remembers the size we want to be, not what's on the label.

If you're wearing a bra with different sizing

If your bra has a Band & Cup size (e.g. 12B), it can be hit-and-miss trying to match it to a 8/10, 10/12 etc size.

Measuring then using our Ambra Sizing Chart is the best way to find your Ambra Bralette size.

Measure to check your bra size

We find the Ambra Bare Essentials Padded Bandeau fits true to our Ambra Bra Sizing Chart, so measuring then using the sizing chart will give a reliable fit.

Our Measurement Illustration shows how to take your Underbust and Bust measurement, or a Half-Bust measurement after a unilateral mastectomy (after a bilateral mastectomy you can choose your preferred cup size).

Our Ambra Bra Sizing Chart explains how to use your Underbust and Bust or 2x Half-Bust measurement to find your Bra Size.
