Mastectomy Recovery Bundle

Prepare for Mastectomy Recovery

There's a lot to think about before surgery. And once home recovering, the last thing anyone needs is to feel unprepared for what comes next — especially the parts nobody really walked through beforehand.

This box was put together so it doesn't have to be pieced together alone.

Every item was chosen by a nurse who spent years caring for women after mastectomy surgery, guided by what patients said actually helped during that first month home. Not what looked good on a list — what made the hard days a little easier.

What's inside:

• Mastectomy Pillow — Cushions the chest and underarms to ease pressure and protect sensitive areas from everyday contact — arms, seatbelts, and anything else that gets too close too soon.
• Drain Holders (Set of 2) — Keeps JP drains secure and comfortable on an adjustable waist belt, so daily activity doesn't have to revolve around managing them.
• Shower Drain Holder — A waterproof pouch that holds drains hands-free while showering, so the regular holders stay dry and ready.
• Drain Output Journal — Care teams ask for daily fluid tracking after surgery. This notebook keeps that simple and organized, so follow-up appointments feel less like homework.
• Soft Breast Pads — Gentle cushioning for incisions and underarms, with the added comfort of absorbing leakage and softening the fit of bras during healing.
• Tube-Evac Surgical Drain Clearing Tool — Makes milking drain lines manageable independently, even when strength and dexterity are limited.

Recovery is hard. Being unprepared for it doesn't have to be part of it.
