Prosthetics slipping in bras
Hi Everyone, I've haven't been on this site since January after my double mastectomy. Dealing with the healing, I also lost my husband in April and haven't felt like doing anything or seeing many...

Thank you ladies for your kind thoughts.
Summer, I did go to a top prosthesis shop in Sydney - Leila O'Toole Pty Ltd. (mammary Prosthesis and Bra Specialists) . They were very helpful. The bras are very firm. Whether its the backing on the bra, I'm not sure, but I will make some adjustment. I'm quite comfortable going 'a la natural' which I do most days. I have a lot of scar tissue on the breast side that had the cancer but not the other one. I'm still having Herceptin injections every 3 weeks until November, after that I can have a reconstruction if I wish, but I don't think so. But time will tell.
Lisa, I do miss my cleavage. As my mum use to say "if you got em- flaunt em". So hence I could wear lower cut tops and be comfortable. (I'm sure this is why my hubby married me. ha ha) But since having both breasts off, I cannot wear V neck tops or anything that showed a cleavage due to my scars. The prosthetics I bought are suppose to be cooler, so I will have to wait until summer to find out.
Brightspace... The prosthetics I bought are called Anita. They can be used for swimming either chlorine or salt water. The backing only needs to be patted dry.
Hugs to everyone. Christina
