I had a bilateral mastectomy, got fitted with the prothesis adn think I've only worn them twice. I am quite comfortable going without anything. Also, the bra strap on the left side rubs right against my port. After all I've been through and still going through, I really don't care what people say. I want to be comfortable and I'm most comfortable not wearing my protheses.
