You should have a category for those who don't buy special bras. I use regular bras with my breast forms.

I am having a great deal of difficulty finding a prosthesis to go into a bathing suit that matches my remaining breast, which is large and has a lot of droop. All the prostheses I've found so far give me a very lopsided look with one breast "perky" like it belongs to a 20 year old, while the other looks like it belongs to a 50 year old (which I am). I love to go swimming and don't really want to advertise that I've had bc to every one who sees me, but it's beginning to look like I'm going to have to go without a prosthesis and wear a T-shirt or something over my bathing suit all summer.

Note: I've found that most mastectomy bras are designed for large women. VERY small selection for petite women. Also, "A cup" women get breast cancer, too. I'd like to see padded cups as an option, as my remaining breast is still small!

According to the Swedish researcher Dr. Magnus Blinge, Chalmers Technical University, replacing all oil used in Europe web site design by cellulose based bio-fuels would require 1,000 production plants for bio-fuels, each would need deliveries of 450 truckloads of wood every day. This would require an entirely new production and distribution system for fuels. In a booklet in Swedish ("Med klimatfrågan i fokus", Volvo AB, Gothenburg 2007) published by the truck and bus company Volvo AB, the merits of seven different bio-fuels and engine solutions are briefly described and analyzed. Volvo finds search engine marketing that the most promising fuel, based on the criteria of the analysis, is DME (Dimethyl ether). Overall, the CEO of Volvo, Leif Johansson, concludes that high level political agreements between nations will become necessary in order to implement bio-fuels on a large scale. This is because transportation systems are cross border, and these and the climate issue do not stop at country borders. In order for Volvo to do its part in the development of the renewable fuels of the future, politicians need to decide which fuels are going to be used on a large scale in the future. Some authors, such as US congressman Jay Inslee business opportunity and environmentalist Bracken Hendricks go even further. In their book "Apollo's Fire", with a foreword by President Bill Clinton, they argue that a planned development program similar to the Apollo program will become necessary in order to transform US energy systems on a large scale.

I also like bras with wider straps. Thin straps cut into my shoulders, increasing my risk for lymphedema.
Good luck with your project!

Dear ladies,
I was just came across this website and thought may be some of you might be interested to find out about the upcoming bras that I design in line to provide better support and superior comfort to women in general. This unique design has been developed with care and improve over the last four years to ensure they provide the best support and comfort. The unique designs do not compress the breasts unlike conventional bras, therefore they do not compromise the underlying breasts structure.
Well let me introduce myself and give you a little bit more insight about the unique bras -
Please feel free to contact me if you have any queries / would like to know more on - jsalomon@gmx.com
My name is - Joseph Salomon, I am a registered nurse with over fifteen years experience of working within the National Health Service. My experience includes caring for women suffering from breast discomfort, pain, abscesses and sometimes breast cancer.
I became interested in examining some of the underlying causes and it soon became clear that the extreme discomfort experienced by many women is well documented as often as a consequence of modern bra-design. Beyond the discomfort there is strong medical evidence linking modern bra design to permanent breast conditions and breast cancer. Over 90 percent of women's breasts sag after child birth as well as with age and after losing weight. The majority of women aged between 18 and 50 rely on push up bras that compress their breasts to give them a little bit of cleavage. Therein lays the problem. Compressing the breasts can cause long term damage to the breasts tissue and the underlying breasts structures.
Joseph set about designing a preventative solution and has developed a unique range of bras that provide better support and superior comfort to women. These unique bras have been designed with health and well being as the main focus but also give figure enhancement without compromising the underlying breasts tissue unlike conventional bras. Whilst health and preventative cause has been paramount, elegance and fashion have been at the forefront.
This unique bras comprise of four differentdesign to cater for different breasts size,and shapes, in addition the special range will include made to measure. Furthermore as you may well be aware the standard measurement is outdated, the comapny is currently carrying out a new measurement system inorder to provide better fit bras.
I look forward to hear from you.
Kind regards

Depends on the bra. Usually, I try to stay in the first range, but if it were really nice, I'd splurge once in a while.
Salomon - not cool to horn in on someone else's thread to shill your site. IMO.
