Questions Answered
How do I care for my breast form?
Treated carefully, your breast form can last for many years. Treat it as carefully as you would your own skin – be careful not to puncture or tear it with sharp objects, and wash it daily in warm soapy water to remove dirt and residue from oils or perspiration. Try not to use powder, lotions or perfume near your breast form. Wear a bra that fits you properly and doesn’t force the breast form into a different shape; if the bra is too small it can cause the silicone to deteriorate and eventually make the form un-wearable. When not being worn, store your breast form in the foam cradle of the box to help maintain its shape and protect from accidental harm.
What if my breast form needs to be replaced?
Generally, your breast form will need to be replaced every two to three years. Changes in your body shape may mean you need a new size or shape to suit you better, or perhaps your current form is just showing the wear and tear signs of age. If you were fitted by the NHS or have private insurance you will usually be provided with a new form free of charge.
Will my activities be restricted in any way?
Wearing a breast form should not prevent you from enjoying any of the hobbies, sports or activities you did before your surgery. Swimming is a particularly good form of exercise after surgery and provided you wash your breast form carefully to remove chlorine or salt residue, your breast form will not be damaged in the water. If you are very active, you might find it more comfortable to wear a lighter, temporary form occasionally - there are foam and silicone forms to suit every need.
Will I need to wear a different kind of bra?
The most important thing is to choose a bra that fits properly and supports the weight of your breast form adequately. You might find you feel more secure wearing a pocketed mastectomy bra that is designed to hold a breast form. There are many beautiful styles to choose from, including under-wire styles if that's what you prefer.
How Do I Care For My Bra?
Naturalwear bras feature quality fabrics, components, and construction. We recognize that every woman is an individual with very unique needs and desires. That is why our wide selection of styles and sizes are specially designed to incorporate features that accommodate specific needs for after breast surgery.
Proper care will prolong the life of Naturalwear bras and provide lasting comfort, security and an overall natural look and feel. We recommend hand washing in warm water with mild soap. Hang until completely dry for the best results. Avoid using fabric softeners when bra contains CoolMax® fabric.
