Finding the right swimsuit after breast cancer isn’t easy. As a survivor myself, I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to shop for swimwear after a mastectomy, lumpectomy, or reconstruction—and feel like nothing was truly made for me.
That’s why I launched POST SWIM—a swimwear brand created specifically for women affected by breast cancer, designed to meet you exactly where you are in your journey.
Introducing the Strength Collection
Our first-ever launch, the Strength Collection, is more than just swimwear—it’s a tribute to what it takes to get through a cancer diagnosis, treatment, and everything that comes after. Every piece is named for a woman who embodies resilience. And every suit is a reminder: you are still powerful, still whole, still worthy of being seen.
This collection was built from my own experience—searching for something to wear at the beach that didn’t make me feel like I had to explain my scars.
Swimwear for Mastectomy, Flat Closure, Reconstruction & More
POST SWIM offers inclusive swimsuits for women who’ve had:
- Mastectomy (with or without reconstruction)
- Flat closure
- Lumpectomy or partial surgery
- Port scars or implant rippling
- Or women who are au naturel and simply want confidence-first swimwear
Whether you want to cover your scars or show them off with pride, we believe in the power of owning your story—on your time, in your way.
Design That Works as Hard as You Have
Our suits go beyond aesthetics—they’re built with intention:
- Scar-conscious coverage for chest, sides, and underarms
- Pockets in every top to secure a prosthesis (if you wear one)
- Compression-like fabric that gently supports reconstructed areas like a comforting, stylish control blanket
- High-rise bikini bottoms with a smoothing, tummy-controlling feel
- No underwire- ever. Just support that feels good and moves with you
Survivor-Approved Styles
🖤 The Kim Top: Made with flatties, prosthesis wearers, and women with implant rippling in mind. It lays flat, stays soft, and provides the kind of stylish support that never digs in.
🖤 The Judy One-Piece: Great for covering port scars while still feeling sleek and elevated.
🖤 The Mary Bottom: High-waisted, sculpting, and oh-so-comfortable—you’ll want to wear it every day.
Each suit was thoughtfully created for functionality and confidence—because scars and sun don’t mix.
Lauren Yerkes spent 16 years as a fashion executive before breast cancer changed everything. Diagnosed just before her 38th birthday, she was young, vibrant, married to the love of her life—and suddenly, without a single swimsuit that felt like her.
“I didn’t want to hide. I wanted to feel beautiful again. But when I searched for a suit that respected what my body had been through, I came up empty. So, I made it myself.”
POST SWIM was born from that gap—and from the belief that survivors deserve more than functional. They deserve fashion that fits who they are now.
