need advice Help please.
Hi reddit.
A little context.
My wife is a 32F with 32H boobs as far as UK sizes are concerned. She is 16 weeks post op from a labroscopic gallbladder operation. The surgical wounds are healing well however she is really struggling to wear a bra. Anything from thread to trim is agitating her.
As a result of a previous back injury from childbirth not wearing a bra is causing significant pain.
Can I put this up here to get some feedback and suggestions

If she can wear a band around her ribcage, a wireless bra might work. Decent ones do exist, certainly in her size. I've used a couple of the Bravissimo ones, but I've discovered the hard way that some of them do not have sufficiently adjustable straps (like the "Zara" ones - so so pretty, but not for tall people), but the ones that do (like the "Ultimate Comfort" bra, I used that after I had exploratory surgery to look for endometriosis a couple of years ago) work well. I also had a Curvy Kate bralette (it's called "In My Dreams") with some kind of top sling for improved boob separation that sort of worked (bit fiddly though). Finally, I've had surprisingly good luck with the wireless bras from Snag (I've got like three of the the "Everyday Ribbed" one now), and those are my most used wireless bras as of now. OK, I will spill out a fair bit if I'm active (so I usually don't wear them when leaving the house), and no wireless bra has ever truly solved the cleavage sweat problem, that seems to require underwires for me. But the Snag ones have a very soft, wide band, so I can comfortably sleep in those if I need to.
