General
A breast prosthesis/breast form is worn by women who have undergone a mastectomy or a lumpectomy, or have asymmetry of breasts due to any reason. Losing a breast can lead to loss of confidence and self esteem in many women. A breast form can immediately restore your femininity and silhouette, without you having to undergo any more surgery.
Mastectomy bras are designed with ultra soft pockets to securely hold your breast form in place to prevent it from falling out. You feel safe and carefree while doing physical activity, when it is secured in place.The pockets also keep the back of the breast form from making direct contact with the breast form, which may irritate it in some ladies.
With proper care, a silicone breast prosthesis can last many years. When you're not wearing it, keep it in a cool, safe place. Always keep it away from any sharp objects or harsh chemicals. Wash it every few days with a mild soap and cool water and pat it dry with a soft towel. Do not use hot water. Do not apply perfume over it.
