Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 I'm hoping to get to the 'store' this week. Have prescription for 2 surgical bras and prosthesis (which I cannot as yet get fitted for -- swelling has not gone down completely). I also bought some forms to go in my existing bras, but have not tried them. At this point, even though the surgeon told me I could go ahead and wear a bra.... I feel a little bit sensitive at the surgery site to want to try it yet. Barb Fw: Questions Hi & Barb,I'm pretty small on top, so in the winter (after my operation) I wore a vest over my shirt and went without. I don't think it was noticable. Now that summer is coming I have to come up with a better form. I have a lightweight cotton form and a silicone form. The lightweight form rides up unless I have a bra with underwire or a camisole. The silicone form sometimes sags. So I either am lopsided up or down ;-)I have never gotten fitted like nne did, but I think I need to at some point. I've been using my regular camisoles/bras, but I find with the silicone form that I get a rash on my chest when I'm sweating. I guess at some point I have to go through all my bras and figure out which ones work with a form and which ones I have to get rid of.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 , I don't OWN a form - 2 years ago, I made a decision that this was me and I was more comfortable without any forms to worry about. I do wear comfortable sports bras, and one day hope to design a beautiful "bralette" for women in the same situation as me. Best, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 , I am going to do the same thing. Warning, slightly feminist gripe to follow: Why does our culture force us to wear artificial breasts to replace those " missing in action " ? If anyone notes my lopsidedness, I will take the opportunity to talk about breast cancer, and do a little educating on the fly.
