Regular sports bra vs. front close?

Recovery/PostOp

Checking to see if I'm out of my mind here - I am 2WPO (2 weeks post-op) tomorrow. My surgeon says things are healing up well. I went from an F to (hopefully) a C and I can already tell my life is changed forever!

The front-zip bras are driving me insane. Mainly, the band on the bottom incision sites (got side lipo too).

I was able to get one of the fruit of the loom cotton sports bras on and it feels SO much better - am I crazy to do this so soon? It feels snug and relieving, but curious if anyone else did this as well. For what it's worth, I'm still putting the cotton wound pads over the nipples/incisions for now, inside the bra, just to minimize the friction. It was a little tough getting over my head but I went super slow.

Planning to ask surgeon next week at my follow up, too, but figured worth an ask folks here if they experienced similar!

Thanks in advance all! :)
