breast forms

Hi gretchy, there are quite a few options for you. Do you have a shop that has a fitter nearby? You can try on different types to work out what you feel works for you.

There are softees that have filling that can be adjusted, there are also weighted foam forms, which I wear most of the time. I find Metromedicalonline is the cheapest place for these at $40.00 each or $72.00 for 2. There is always Ebay too, many forms are sold on there for really low prices.

There is also the website, mastectomysolutions.org where you can copy a pattern to make your own micro bead forms or Mary, the lovely lady who started that site will make for you, for a small cost. breastfree.org has lots of info about breastforms too and is a website started by one of our members here, Erica.

You didn't mention your size, but if you are a small cup size, you can wear the Genie style bra with a couple of the modesty pads that come with those bras, or even a "Chicken Filet" which is a small silicone breast enhancer that you can buy from department stores. If you are a larger cup size, I find the knit or Genie style bras, don't really work too well, they sag down if you put a weighty form in them.
