Need help to find the correct size bra?

Need help finding correct size? People are getting in touch lately as they are needing new bras and unsure what size they are. It is tricky at present due to all the current restrictions in place and lingerie shops being closed.

Which breast prosthesis will suit me best?

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.

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.
