Hi @Tasia a bit late to the party here but I have travelled overseas recently and it wasn't a great experience at airport security but it wasn't terrible. If you have to go through the full body scanner, it does pick up the prosthesis, it shows the area as all red. They then ask you what it is and I basically said if they wanted to pat me down I wanted to be taken to a private area. They then told me that they have to wave the metal detection wand over and if it picks anything up they would only rub the middle of the bra basically down with the back of their hand and would I be ok with it. I said yes and it was fine. After that they said if there is the old walk through machine at any airports apparently you can ask just to go through that one instead. I found they were a bit nicer once I said the c word ;)
I shopped around for ages for travel insurance and we ended up going with 1Cover who seemed to be one of the only ones that didn't charge a huge extra fee for having bc.
