Finding a bra that suits your needs whilst providing support and comfort is difficult. With a wide range of styles and sizes available, it’s easier to determine the correct bra for your breast profile and lifestyle. To make this a little easier, bras can be grouped into different categories - shallow, average and full. The profile type is not dependent on cup capacity. For example, a D cup can actually have a shallow profile and an A cup can have a full profile. By understanding the differences, you will ensure the best possible fit.
A mastectomy bra is made with a specially designed pocket in each cup. The silicone breast form is slipped inside the pocket, where it is held firmly in place against the body for a natural recreation of symmetry. Designed especially for this purpose, a mastectomy bra may also be made with features similar to traditional bras, such as both front or back hook closures and a choice of satin, lace, or cotton.
Various designs from size 32A up to 52F are kept in store. It's manufactured from microfiber to ensure a comfortable fit on sensitive skins. The bras provide additional support for extra comfort. Custom made bras - mastectomy / non-mastectomy - in various colours.

(Custom made options only available in certain support centres).
A breast prosthesis or breast form is an artificial breast that is used after a surgery in which the breast has been altered or removed. Whether the loss of the breast is permanent or temporary (waiting for reconstruction), a breast form can be worn to simulate the natural breast and body shape.
Full breasts and partial breasts (known as equalizers), can be purchased to balance the appearance depending on what type of surgical procedure was performed. These forms are manufactured in a variety of materials (usually silicone, foam or fiberfill) and are worn inside a mastectomy bra or attached to the body with a special silicone adhesives.
Silicone swimming prostheses are resistant to chlorine and salt water. It is advised for the active user and can also be worn as a cost effective option to the more expensive lighter weighted prostheses.
We stock a wide range of breast forms to suit your needs. You have a choice between weighted and weight reduced breast forms amongst a variety of shapes and sizes.
All prostheses carry an ISO mark of international standards and is guaranteed for two years unless otherwise indicated.
