Climate Change and Breast Forms

Going on vacation to areas with different temperatures and climates than you’re used to at home is a fun experience. However, it can be a bit of a headache for women who have full or partial breast prosthesis. In warmer weather, keeping your breast form in place, so it provides symmetry for your natural breast tissue can present challenges. Adhesive backings and regular bras just don’t always offer the support you need when you’re sweating and uncomfortable because of the heat.

In times like this, women who have survived breast cancer can choose customized ABC breast forms from A Fitting Experience Mastectomy Shoppe. A custom ABC breast form is designed using 3D technology to match the contours of your body exactly, so you don’t have to be concerned about becoming too hot or your prosthesis shifting your while you enjoy your time in the sun.

Our BOC certified fitters can also assist you with swim forms, lightweight foam forms, and pocketed swimwear so you’ll be able to beat the summer heat with confidence and ease.
