    Inquiring for my aunt, dx'd for the third time and who will likely not be a candidate for reconstruction:

    She cannot stand her heavy breast prostheses - just wondering if any have ordered from this company and like the products?

    Thanks for your thoughts!

    I spoke with the woman who runs this company. The product might be fine, but I've never had feedback from anyone who's used it. It's very expensive, though insurance might pay. I ultimately decided to go with non-custom forms, since I found many lightweight options. I recommend several such options on my non-profit website, BreastFree.org. Many women from breastcancer.org contributed their ideas, personal stories, and photographs to the BreastFree.org website. 

    I'm very slim and can't tolerate a lot of weight after my bilateral mastectomy. I've found several forms that I can wear very comfortably, including the Amoena Climate Light and the Silique Comfort Lite. Both these forms are silicone in front (so nice and soft), but have fabric backing, so don't cause perspiration against your skin. The Silique form is ultra-lightweight and the Climate Light is also very lightweight.  ABC also makes an ultralight breast form.

    I'm not trying to discourage you from investigating New Attitude, just letting you know that there really are a number of excellent options available if your aunt doesn't want to go the custom-made route.
