Best for hot climate?

Hi BlueKoala,

I spend a lot of time in Miami, Florida and find it too hot to wear silicone breast forms comfortably. Instead, I wear unweighted foam forms, but since you still have one breast, you might find that a lightly weighted foam form, like the Trulife Tri-Leisure form, works better. Another woman from Australia who used to post here loves that form. Her other breast is fairly large but she finds that with the right bra or camisole, this form provides enough weight to keep it from riding up. I believe she especially liked the Amoena Valetta Pocketed Camisole.

I hope this helps.

Hi jkbrca2,

Sorry I didn't reply sooner -- I haven't checked the boards lately. The foam forms could work with mastectomy bras, though there might not be enough weight to keep the bra from riding up. I haven't found one that works for me. But I sometimes wear them in a regular bralette, since they can be worn against the skin. Unfortunately, Maidenform stopped making the bralettes I use, so I can't recommend them anymore. The lightly weighted foam forms can definitely be inserted in pockets of camisoles or bras -- they're not rigid. I think they would work in Genie or Coobie bras, which have pockets.

I'd love to hear anything that works for you!

I have the same experience. I'm using an amoena natura light silicone breast form. It still feels heavy to me. Sometimes I get a shoulder and truncal ache and have to take it out after a while. I much prefer not to wear any form at all, and I can get by as my other breast is small. But the silicone gives a nice breast shape, especially under a fitted shirt. I wear it on work days.

I also have a TLC breast form filled with microbeads. It's very light, but I find that it doesn't give as natural shape as a silicone form can. I use it for running and other exercises. The bra does ride up after a while.
