Now There's a Sports Bra Made Specifically for Breast Cancer Survivors

Because women around the world fight breast cancer every ? damn? day, but many struggle to find the perfect post-mastectomy sports bra once they return to their old fitness routines, Athleta has designed a brand new bra to make women in recovery or remission way more comfortable.

Known as the Empower bra ($54 at Athleta.com), it features super-soft fabrics and a front zip that don't aggravate sensitive scar tissue, expanding pockets to secure post-mastectomy prosthetics, and adjustable straps to accommodate for variance in breast size after surgery.

The new design will be officially released Sept. 25, just in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. And because roughly 12 percent of women develop invasive breast cancer in their lifetimes, according to BreastCancer.org, 12 percent of profits from Empower bras sold in October will be donated to Recovery On Water (ROW), a Chicago-based rowing club for breast cancer survivors.

If you haven't had a mastectomy but still want to support the cause, you can pick up the brand's Power of She bra ($54 at Athleta.com), available Aug. 28. Twelve percent of its profits will be donated to ROW too.

Then, dedicate your next workout to someone fighting breast cancer. Whether they're in the gym or not, they're strong AF.
