Many thanks for your advice, kmakm :))) Would you believe I make bra inserts made with socks filled with bird seed!! hahahaha Utterly brilliant. They serve a few purposes that I am so grateful for - and to think they were one of the first things women used in the 1800's!! But I have found after two mastectomies, that (1) they actually quickly reduce the swelling across the suture line (and very quickly and painlessly so long as you remember to wear them at night also) and you can make the inserts as big as you want or whatever shape you need depending on what you wear. So, as I am very much single and intend to remain that way lol I will happily not face my fear of needles and surgery again *phew* My sincere thanks, kmakm :)
