Amoena Contact vs. Natura breast forms

brcapooh

I am 2 weeks post-op (PBM no reconstruction) and am looking forward to a fitting for prostheses in the next few weeks.  I have narrowed it down to the Amoena Contact and Amoena Natura breast forms. Can anyone tell me their experiences with either or both?  If you can use the Amoena Contact form with a back pad, wouldn't it make more sense to get this one? But I like the feel of the gel on the Amoena Natura. Any suggestions? Thank you.

I love my Amoena contact.  I got fitted at one store with different gel ones and only bought a cheaper foam one and left since I didn't like the store.  I did some research on here and online (there is an old thread about the contact) and decided to get one.  My hubby loves it too, he thinks it feels natural also.  I wear all my old bras (I have a UMX) which is a huge plus that makes me feel much less like a cancer patient.  Its also nice if you want to wear the contact form for lingerie and it just looks better in the bras than the foam one.  I got the one with a little extension on the side since I have a "tissue hole" under my armpit on the right side that it helps to fill.  Most of the time when I am wearing it I don't even notice it because its a part of me not the bra... the bra just gives it more support.

thanks for the tip MiniMacsMom. i found a few threads on the amoena contact forms after reading your reply (still new to the website). most people seem to like their contact forms except those who find it painful to remove as their skin could be sensitive. I too have very sensitive skin - the medical tapes for my dressings were changed daily after surgery, and after a week my skin was peeled while the tapes were removed. it was so painful, i couldn't put anything on anymore.
