Have you looked at Knitted Knockers? That isn't ajoke,.There is an organisation which provides light-weight knitted prostheses to people who find the standard ones uncomfortable. They also have a network of knitters and crocheters that anyone can join to make them.

I suppose I should say "other firms are available"!

Try Nicola Jane website, they do a variety and the staff are very helpful too. There is a weighted one designed for sport which is heavier than the normal foam swimming one.

I can’t help teabag woman as my dd had reconstruction. I hope someone comes along with some advice .
Or maybe contact BC care or McMillan?

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. It didn’t seem to fit in health or style.

I had a double mastectomy some time ago and the recent hot weather has reminded me how uncomfortable I am in the summer with two lumps of silicone strapped to my chest. Googling has brought up some foam breast forms and some made by a firm called Boost. Does anyone have any experience of these please.
