Hi SonjaO
From what I know, there are the "sports" prothesis and also a swimming prosthesis. They are a lot lighter to wear, but do not have as good of a shape. So if you are not wearing anything clingy or tight the lighter ones are still great, but for a better shape the heavier ones are better. Also, I am bigger chested and I need the heavier one to even me up and help my posture/Back ache.
Can't help with the stapless bra, but I do sew pockets in most of my own togs etc, cause the mastecomy ones are so limited in range.
Did you also know that you can claim a prosthesis trough medicare?
Good luck, I hope you are doing well.
