Celebrating Survivors: Mastectomy-Friendly Plus Size Swimwear

Published October 1, 2024 • Updated September 30, 2025

October is a month of awareness, reflection, and celebration, particularly for those affected by breast cancer. As we recognize the strength and resilience of breast cancer survivors, we also honor the importance of support along the journey.

At JunoActive, we are proud to offer mastectomy-friendly plus size swimwear designed specifically for women who have undergone mastectomies. We are honored to empower survivors with comfortable, stylish options that meet their unique needs. A customer and survivor beautifully shares what it feels like to discover swimwear designed just for her:  

 "Grateful for mastectomy-friendly swimwear! When I saw the variety of swimwear offered by JunoActive that accommodates breast forms, I almost cried for joy. Finding fashionable plus-sized swimwear is a challenge to begin with; finding it with pockets for prostheses is close to miraculous. This tankini top is beautiful and very comfortable, and I’m pairing it with swim shorts I bought ‘way back when the company was plain “Juno” — they’re still in good shape!" – Patrice S.

Thoughtful Design for Every Body

Our plus size swimwear is designed exclusively for women size XL to 6X, offering confident coverage and support. Several of our one-piece swimsuits and swimsuit tops offer carefully designed pockets to accommodate mastectomy inserts, ensuring that every woman feels secure and inspired to be in the water.

Full-coverage designs provide comfort and help protect scars, while select styles feature zipper fronts for easy on-and-off transitions. Each piece is made to move with your body, boosting confidence wherever the water takes you.

One standout from our collection is the all black AquaSport Crossback Aquatard. This sleek, versatile piece is designed for optimal coverage, support, and comfort. Perfect for swimming laps, water aerobics, or lounging poolside, it combines performance, thoughtful design, and mastectomy-friendly features in a timeless, flattering style.

Performance Meets Protection

We know that swimwear needs to withstand the elements, which is why our performance fabrics are chlorine and saltwater-resistant. Our plus size swimsuits also offer UPF 50 sun protection, giving you peace of mind as you soak up the sun. Whether you’re taking water aerobics at your local YMCA, lounging on the beach in the Bahamas, or enjoying outdoor activities with your family, you can trust that our plus size swimwear has got you covered.

Celebrating Survivors

To all the survivors; you are strong, you are beautiful, and you deserve swimwear that celebrates you. Thank you for inspiring us every day!
