It is tricky at present due to all the current restrictions in place and lingerie shops being closed.

Breast prosthesis come in different sizes, shape, weight and colour. They are used after breast surgery to replace tissue loss and provide shape post op. Initial Post-Surgery prostheses are soft to allow for wound healing while giving shape. After approximately 6-8 weeks a full prosthesis can be fitted. This allows for swelling to reduce in the chest area and for scars to heal. For some ladies they may wish to continue to use a soft or initial prosthesis instead of a full or permanent prosthesis while for others they may choose not to use one at all. Initial Breast Prostheses [...]
Breast prosthesis is an artificial breast form that takes the place of breast tissue that was removed during surgery. For some ladies breast reconstruction following surgery may not be something that they wish to do and so a breast prosthesis is used to provide a balanced silhouette. Breast prosthesis can be used by ladies whose breasts are different sizes naturally or post breast reconstruction if the size and shape of the breasts is different. They can be a temporary measure for some prior to breast reconstruction and alternatively some ladies will chose not to wear breast prosthesis post surgery. Types [...]

How to find a bra that would support, maybe rebalance a body altered by treatment? How to reconcile the old image with the new reality? How to shop in the communal changing rooms of well meaning chain stores? And so? The solution seemed obvious! We [...]
Wearing compression garments for sport What do you think of when you hear compression stockings? A pair of your granny old faded beige compression socks? Traditionally compression garments were used treat health issues like vascular problems, swelling in the lower legs, diabetes and arthritis to name a few. These stockings were made of stiff material and were difficult to get on. When people think of compression they have memories of an older relative who had swollen legs trying in vain to get them on. Compression garments and sport activities Well if this is the case you’ll be glad to [...]
