Wear Around Shirt for Lounge Comfort

We love the wear-around shirt! Its not only comfy and non-binding, but its made from 100% cotton making it easy to care.

Will this fit a “Plus Sized” woman?
It typically fits an 18/20 or about 2XL. According to the manufacturer, it says it fits 3XL but we think you should be aware that it might be snug depending on how you are shaped. It measures about 52 inches around.

What is the length from neckline in back to hem?
The Wear around shirt measures about 36″ – 38″ in length.

Does “One Size” really fit all?
Probably not. We would suggest “one size” fits most. If you are on the small end or the fluffier end of the size spectrum, this shirt may not be for you.

What is the best way to launder this shirt?
This shirt is made from 100% cotton. This means that you should wash is in cool/warm water and hang to dry or tumble dry light. Because it is made from 100% cotton, be aware it can shrink slightly through the laundering process.

Keep Your Incision Clean and Dry

Keep your incision clean and dry – Hysterectomy Recovery Tip

As you are released from the hospital, you will be given instructions to care for your incision. The main goal: Keep your incision clean and dry.

Keep the bandage over your incision/stitches until the doctor removes them – possibly at your first post-op appointment. Or your bandage and stitches may be removed before you leave the hospital. But whether a large bandage or a few bandaids, keep them in place.

Once you are ready to take a shower, its possible to take a quick shower with your back to the shower water to wash your hair and wash your body. If your incision gets wet, towel dry with a few pats of the towel. Some customers report that they cover their bandage with kitchen wrap to keep the bandage dry.

A damp bandage or bandaid slows the healing and introduces potential infection to your incision. So we suggest paying attention and keeping your bandaids dry in order to keep your incision dry.

Our customers love our mesh panties to wear under their gown to allow air to flow around the incision area. They are lightweight, stretchy and easy to slide over your tender, swollen tummy.

Of course, if your incision is bleeding, looks angry, is hot to the touch or is extremely painful, call your doctor’s office.

Why a binder after hysterectomy?
