Can't be bothered with a new boob

The issue of rising boobies is obviously a problem (maybe some ladies don't talk about it) when reaching up.

What can we invent ?

Us women are known to be able to think outside the square so maybe we can come up with a solution ?

Some ladies need one and some may need two but surely there is a market for a solution ....

The idea of a small set of braces to go from bra to knickers is all I can think of but maybe someone else can think of how to do it successfully without wearing a one piece.

Ideas and marketing people welcome, eh ?

Hi again.  I guess it is a matter of trial and error.  If I had a way of keeping the boobies down it would be okay. (maybe we'll have to give those braces a thought.)

Hi again

I never gave the weight much thought so I will let you know in time how I have found them !  Maybe that is why my fibre ones ride up more than the 'proper' Amoena one ?

I really do think we should get together and invent a set of little fine braces - any idea ?  We can't be the only ones who have a problem with riding up.

Hi Summer, The group making the "Boobies" were the Kingaroy Knitter's Group and I did give them my size.  The think the problem is that they are not heavy enough to hold down when they have nothing to hold onto.  I like the idea of a brace (LoL).  I have been using my prothesis with an ah bra  (the ones from best and less) and finding them more comfortable than a bra.  I liked the idea of the "Boobies" because of the weight and the coolness if only they wouldn't ride up.

Hi there

I am sorry to hear that your boobies were not a good fit - you must tell the maker and they can do more for you.  Do you know the group making them ?   Did they have your correct size ?

Mine have not yet arrived but I will keep you updated.  I am simply hoping it will be cooler in our hot climate - and if I can wear it in a non-pocketted bra then that is a bonus as it is one layer of fabric only.

I have the same problem with one 'proper' boobie riding up when getting something from a shelf at the supermarket etc so I can fully understand you with two.

I have been wondering if there is a pair of miniature 'braces' (to connect bra to knickers) for us ladies to help stop this problem ?  Maybe we need to invent some ?

Keep well and laughing

Hi.  We have a group of Ladies making these out of cotton.  I was given two but I found that they rode up all time and they weren't as big as I thought.  Maybe it was because I needed both of them.

Hello Adal and Summer,  My advice is the same.  One day at a time.  At the moment, I am happy having no boobs.  I may change my mind later on as it is still early Days.  I hope everything went well with your op Adal.  My Daughter is having a Hysterectomy Today as she has the Braca 2 Gene and Lynch Syndrome like me.  I found it pretty easy adapting to a double masectomy as I was ready to accept it    I love your affirmation, Summer.  I am a very positive person and had to be strong and I am proud of how far I have come.  I feel that I am one of the fortunate ones..  Love to you both, Ruth xxx

Arghh I was diagnosed just over 2 weeks ago and decided, after loads of obsessive thinking, to have a mastectomy and no reconstruction. I think my sexuality is very connected to my breasts but the thought of having a breast with no feelings is just not so attractive. I am 53 and have a great boyfriend who is being very supportive of my decision. I keep trying to imagine what it is going to be like, very strange after all these years of  two breasts . I am going to hospital tomorrow morning my doctor felt I could be home Thursday night but a friend who has been through breast cancer gave me the wise advice to make no plans, try not to expect too much and just go through it. I am trying hard to follow these words, they seem pretty wise to me. It is great to read other peoples stories in this group it makes me feel not so isolated. Loads of tips too,  thanks Adal
