DESIGNED BY WOMEN FOR WOMEN

With Breast Implant Illness and Explants becoming more common, many women are choosing to remove their implants for health reasons. Our brand fills the gap by offering support that helps women regain their confidence without sacrificing their health and well-being. We’re here for those who have undergone Explant or Mastectomy procedures, have a small bust, or simply want a boost after Motherhood.

THE FOUNDER

“As a young girl growing up in Westchester, New York, I was painfully aware of my flat chest. The teasing from boys in middle school left me in tears more times than I can count. My mother, who faced similar struggles, would sew padding into my bras just as my great-grandmother had done for her. These early experiences planted the seeds for my search for confidence and self-acceptance.”

THE PROCESS

“At 18, I saved up for a breast augmentation, convinced that implants would give me the confidence I needed. For 15 years, I loved my implants and the confidence they provided.
However, as time passed, I began experiencing health issues that I could no longer ignore. The decision to explant was not easy, but I chose my health over aesthetics and never looked back.” -Jennifer Stano

Original Self

Original Self, also known as OGSLF, was born from my personal journey and a deep understanding of the need for confidence without compromising your health. My decision to undergo explant surgery in 2019 highlighted a gap in the market for products catering to women with similar struggles. 

Original Self is more than just a brand; it’s a movement. What sets us apart is our personal connection to the cause. We take pride in our innovative designs, the quality of our materials, and the positive impact we have on our community. The OG Bra, for instance, is the result of years of personal trial and development. We prioritize health, comfort, and aesthetics, ensuring that our customers feel confident and supported. We are dedicated to building a community where women can share their stories, experiences, and advice, offering resources and support for those considering or recovering from explant or mastectomy surgery. From innovative bras and inserts to our upcoming sportswear and swimwear, we provide stylish, modern, and functional options for all women.

Original Self is about turning personal struggles into a source of strength for others, creating a community where every woman feels seen, supported, and celebrated. Join us in this movement, where health meets confidence and every woman can embrace her Original Self.
