I received my kit via post. It was ordered for me by my breast care nurse who had visited me in hospital after my mastectomy. (My surgery was in Sydney, however my home in Port Macquarie).
My breast care nurse was amazing, explained the kit and the soft form prosthesis.
I agree with other comments regarding the look of the bra (very grannyish) but it was sooooo comfortable and with the front closure so easy to put on. It was great to have this to wear while waiting till I could be measured for my prosthesis and then until its arrival. Actually it felt so good to have something to wear and feel partway normal again. I was so conscious of being lopsided!
I have had a reconstruction (Jan '13) and have just been fitted for a 'normal' bra! Was so happy to have such a variety to choose from and to not have to wear a prosthesis.
