About
Pink Ribbon Lingerie specialises in mastectomy lingerie, clothing and swimwear in a wide range of colours and sizes for women post-surgery. We are an award-winning small family business helping women feel beautiful after breast cancer.
My name is Camille I am 43 and was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in March 2021. I set up Pink Ribbon Lingerie with the help of my mum Hilary in 2010 because of her experiences of buying lingerie following her breast cancer surgery 26 years ago when diagnosed at age 48.
Our beliefs:
We believe that every woman should be able to wear beautiful, luxurious and functional lingerie; swimwear and sportswear and sleepwear. We want to help women feel beautiful following surgery, to help build their confidence, feel sexy and have the ability to enjoy their holidays or everyday life without feeling self-conscious.
We really would love your feedback about our new website and the products we sell, please feel free to email us: info@pinkribbonlingerie.co.uk or complete the contact us form.
Hilary’s Story:
"Before I had my mastectomy 26 years ago, there were no pretty bras for anyone over a size 38 and I was size 42 before my surgery. I was 49 years old when I had my mastectomy and, all I wanted to wear was pretty, feminine bras. Things have improved greatly over the years but it is still difficult to find good mastectomy products."
Camille's Story:
"Because of my mum's negative shopping experiences post-surgery, I discovered that the lingerie options for someone who has had a mastectomy can be quite limited. Unless you are internet savvy and have loads of time to surf the net looking for products, you may be unaware of what is available. Ultimately this can leave women post-surgery feeling frustrated and disappointed with the lack of choice.
I decided I wanted to do something about it, I became a trained bra fitter, we invested our personal savings in order to start Pink Ribbon Lingerie. We began with a small lingerie and swimwear collection"
11 years on we now sell lingerie; swimwear and sportswear and sleepwear for women post-surgery in a wide range of colours, styles and sizes from leading mastectomy brands around the world and we are continually adding products.
In March 2021 I was diagnosed with stage 2 Triple Positive Breast Cancer after finding a lump on my monthly breast exam. I am in the middle of my treatment but am doing well. My breast cancer is different from my mums. (I was surprised about that too), we have both had genetic testing and both our tests came back negative so we were both 1-8 women who got breast cancer.
