I have been approved for prosthesis, I'm wondering how they feel?

Wearing it right now. It weighs the same as a real boob so it feels normal. I dont even notice it anymore to be honest...except for when I bump my chest and remember that it's not my boob πŸ˜‚ I find it perfectly comfortable.

Same here, it fits in the bra pocket, and is weighted to match the other side, if you met someone new, they would not suspect. And yep, I've bumped into things, and my first thought will be "oh, that didn't hurt- oh, yeah- foob, not boob!"

I bought an Anita "Athletic" style. It's about 80% as heavy as a regular one. I find it comfortable. You will get to try different ones on They feel quite realistic. I have a "Swim" one which is the same shape but different material

The reason for weighted prosthetics - especially when you're only using it on one side - is to mimic the weight of your other breast to keep your back and hips properly aligned.

the larger prosthesis I have is heavy and hot. They have ordered Amona AdaptAir prosthesis which is light, inflated with a small pump to put air in to the size I am. Medicare is paying.--Much lighter weight and not heavy and clumbsy.
fits into mastectomy bra.
