In-Depth Answers
The DP-Tx™ Bra Insert is a soft, wearable insert designed to sit comfortably inside a bra. It is designed to support people experiencing lymphatic swelling or lymphoedema following breast surgery or breast cancer treatment.
The insert features our patented Differential Pressure Technology (DP-Tx™), made up of small, rounded bubbles that gently interact with the body.
As you move throughout the day, the rounded surface creates a light massage-type effect, producing subtle variations in pressure and a gentle rolling motion across the skin. This interaction helps encourage natural lymphatic and fluid movement, particularly in areas affected by breast surgery where lymph nodes may have been removed or disrupted.
The insert is shaped to follow the natural contour of the breast and underarm area, allowing it to cover both the surgical site and surrounding tissues. By supporting fluid movement across a broader area, it works with the body’s natural lymphatic pathways and may help relieve the feeling of swelling, fullness, or heaviness that can sometimes develop in nearby tissues.
Many people choose to wear the DP-Tx™ Bra Insert following breast surgery, breast cancer treatment, or when experiencing lymphoedema or lymphatic swelling, as a gentle, non-compression option that can be worn comfortably throughout the day.
Some people experience swelling or fluid build-up following breast surgery or breast cancer treatment, particularly where lymph nodes have been removed or affected.
The DP-Tx™ Bra Insert is designed to gently interact with the tissues around the breast and underarm area through Differential Pressure Technology, supporting natural lymphatic and fluid movement across the surrounding tissues.
Many users choose to wear the insert as a comfortable, non-compression option to help support lymphatic comfort during daily activities.
Many lymphatic pads apply static pressure to a single area of swelling. While this can be helpful in certain situations, they often focus only on the point where swelling is most noticeable.
The DP-Tx™ Bra Insert is designed to support the broader lymphatic region, including both the breast and underarm area where lymphatic pathways may have been affected by surgery or treatment.
Its rounded bubble design creates a light massage-type interaction with the skin as you move throughout the day. This produces subtle variations in pressure and a gentle rolling motion that encourages natural fluid movement through the surrounding tissues.
The insert is shaped to follow the natural contour of the breast and side of the body, allowing it to cover a wider area than many small pads. The rounded breast section works across the breast tissue while the extended tail section reaches toward the underarm, supporting fluid movement across both the area of concern and nearby lymphatic pathways.
This shape also helps anchor the insert inside the bra, reducing movement during daily activity while still allowing the insert to be repositioned if additional support is needed in a particular area.
Unlike many pads made from foam or silicone, the DP-Tx™ Bra Insert features a soft bamboo and cotton fabric covering, allowing the skin to breathe and helping maintain comfort during extended wear. The insert is also lightweight and flexible, allowing it to contour naturally to the body for improved comfort.
Swelling is often noticed in one specific area, such as under the arm or around the breast following surgery. However, the lymphatic system works as a network of vessels and pathways, meaning fluid movement can be influenced by surrounding tissues.
Sometimes the area that feels uncomfortable is not the only place where fluid may be accumulating. Supporting the broader lymphatic region, including both the breast and underarm area, can help encourage more balanced fluid movement through nearby tissues.
The DP-Tx™ Bra Insert is designed with this in mind, covering both the area of concern and the surrounding lymphatic pathways.
The DP-Tx™ Bra Insert is designed for people who may be experiencing swelling, fluid build-up, or tissue discomfort in the breast or underarm area, particularly following breast surgery or breast cancer treatment where lymph nodes may have been removed or affected.
It may also be helpful for individuals who are experiencing breast lymphatic swelling, mastitis, or post-surgical tissue firmness, where gentle interaction with the surrounding tissues may support natural fluid movement.
The insert is designed to sit comfortably inside a bra and provide a light massage-type interaction with the tissues as the body moves throughout the day. This gentle interaction encourages natural fluid movement across the breast and underarm lymphatic region.
If you are unsure whether the insert is suitable for your situation, it may be helpful to discuss its use with your lymphoedema therapist or healthcare professional.
The insert features a soft outer layer made from natural bamboo and cotton, chosen for comfort, breathability, and skin friendliness.
The materials are lightweight, flexible, and designed for everyday wear. The breathable fabric covering allows air circulation against the skin, helping maintain comfort throughout the day.
About the Product
The DP-Tx™ Bra Insert is available in Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large.
Sizing is based on your bra band and cup size, and a sizing chart is available on the product page to help guide your selection.
In the table below, locate your under-bust measurement and follow across to your cup size to find the recommended insert size.
If you fall between sizes, selecting the slightly larger size can provide better coverage.
Yes. The DP-Tx™ Bra Insert is designed to fit inside most standard bras, sports bras, and compression bras.
A pocketed bra is not required unless you are wearing a prosthesis that requires one.
Place the insert inside the bra cup so the rounded section sits comfortably over the breast, with the longer tail section extending toward the underarm.
The tail section helps anchor the insert at the side of the bra, helping prevent movement during normal activity.
If the insert feels like it is pressing too firmly at the sides, this may indicate that the bra itself is fitting too tightly. Loosening the bra slightly often allows the insert to sit more comfortably.
Sizing & Wearing
Yes. The insert can be worn during light exercise or daily activities, particularly when worn in a supportive sports bra.
However, the insert should not be worn while swimming, as water movement naturally creates a similar fluid-stimulating effect.
Yes. The DP-Tx™ Bra Insert is lightweight, flexible, and designed for comfortable daily wear. Many users find they quickly forget they are wearing it as it moves naturally with the body throughout the day.
Some people choose to have more than one insert, allowing them to wear one while another is being washed and dried. This can be helpful for maintaining daily use and good product care.
Light dimple marks are normal and are a visible sign of the DP-Tx™ bubble structures interacting with the skin and tissues.
These marks are temporary and usually fade naturally after the insert is removed. If the dimples appear very deep or uncomfortable, it may indicate that the bra itself is fitting too tightly.
In most cases no noticeable change in breast size occurs when the insert is worn inside a well-fitted bra.
The insert is thin (approximately 6 mm at the height of the bubbles) and flexible, allowing the breast tissue to settle naturally around it.
When worn inside a well-fitted, non-transparent bra, the insert should not be visible under clothing.
Very sheer bras or clothing may reveal the outline.
The bubble side faces the skin.
The flat side sits against the bra cup.
