This is the first place I visit when looking for gifts for my family.
“After breast cancer, I needed clothes that actually understood my body.”
Rude Boob was the first thing I wore that felt designed for life after treatment — supportive where I needed it, polished enough for work, and easy to live in.

Change Doesn't Have To Hurt
Across survivorship studies, women consistently describe unmet needs in post-surgical undergarments—especially a lack of front-closure bras that feel comfortable, adjustable, and appropriate at different stages of recovery.
Recovery is not measured in weeks or months. Comfort needs frequently shift throughout recovery after breast cancer surgery. That’s why giving yourself permission to choose comfort as your body heals can make a real difference.
