The ComfortSling™ size is determined by your clothing size rather than your bra size. Regular sizes fit women up to size 12 – 14. Plus sizes fit clothing ranges from 14 – Women’s 3X. Sizes greater than Women’s 3X can order slings custom-sized to fit.
If you need protection to cover a larger area, we can create custom-sized slings and strapless cushioned pads specific to your body measurements Both the cushions and the strap lengths will be made to your unique specifications. Contact us for further information by clicking here.
ComfortSling™ slings and inserts are designed to bring relief to painful and uncomfortable skin under the breast. The cushions prevent chafing, wick away perspiration and help prevent bacterial growth. Select the Single or Double Slings or, to wear with a bra, order the strapless cushions.

For Radiation Therapy
Large-breasted women undergoing radiation therapy on the underside of their breasts may find their skin developing painful, sore and even weepy lesions in the skin folds beneath their breasts. The inflammation can become exacerbated by excessive perspiration and chafing, resulting from skin-to-skin contact.
The ComfortSling™ Single Sling allows the breast to rest on a soft cushion giving freer air circulation beneath the breast while wicking away perspiration to keep the sore areas dry. The cushion prevents excessive chafing of adjacent areas of skin beneath the breast; – antimicrobial properties discourage bacteria growth. The non-stretch straps can be adjusted for comfort so there is no pressure to the sore areas beneath the breast or on the neck and shoulder.
Women have found that wearing the ComfortSling™ Single Sling from the onset of radiotherapy, even before any side effects have begun to appear, is the most effective way to minimize excessive side effects to the skin. Wearing the sling as many hours as possible throughout the day, especially when sleeping, is most effective.
As the ComfortSling™ can only be worn without a bra, many women prefer to supplement the slings with the ComfortSling® Strapless CushionedPads.* The pad, with no straps, is tucked beneath the breasts inside the bra, offering both a comfort to sore breasts throughout the day and further protection from rubbing against the bra itself.
For Large Breasts
Women with large breasts often suffer yeast infections, skin rashes, fungus and other irritations due to excessive perspiration and poor circulation under their breasts. The moisture irritates the skin and the area becomes further inflamed as the breast tends to rub against the skin beneath it. The ComfortSling™ Double-Sling is an ideal solution.
Two length-adjustable straps are joined at the back to form a “Y”; the cushions are tucked beneath each breast and held in place simply by the weight of the breasts. Perspiration is minimized by the wicking treatment of the cushion. Air circulation encourages healing of sore and inflamed areas beneath the breast. Wearing the ComfortSling™ Double-Slings whenever not wearing a bra, especially while sleeping, offers the most comfort.
Women who want to increase their protection when wearing a bra, can use the ComfortSling™ Strapless Cushioned Pads*. ComfortSling™ Strapless Cushioned Pads are tucked beneath the breasts to help eliminate excessive moisture and reduce abrasion of the skin rubbing against the bra.
*Some women may find it necessary to purchase a larger bra size when wearing the ComfortSling™ Strapless Cushioned Pads.
*It is preferable to wear a bra with a band beneath the underwire in order to prevent the strapless cushioned pads from slipping out of place.
