I’ve tried many different types of prostheses over the past 27 years since diagnosis. I began with the Amona brand, fitted by a professional. The accompanying bras were stiff and tight. The prostheses felt hot against my chest and a liner didn’t help much.

I also tried a bra that included built-in breast forms. I found it uncomfortable.
I used the beaded prostheses in my swimsuit and discovered they float! I fought to keep them under water and out from under my chin. LOL.

I used the foam prostheses with a solid metal core that simulated the weight of a breast and stayed with those for some time. TSA found them with their magic wand when I was headed out of town!

For casual wear, I liked the “knitted knockers” stuffed with removable fiberfill. They were acceptable when I dressed in layers.

As I’ve gotten older, I’d rather feel good than look good so I go breast-free. Adding a blouse over a tee shirt works well these days. I turn 70 this summer, something I could never have dreamed of doing when I was diagnosed at age 42! I am attending a wedding in a couple months and plan to pull the foam breasts and bra out of my bottom drawer so my dress will fit properly. I’ll eagerly wait until it’s over and back in my car so I can take my breasts and bra off! LOL

My preference is gel as it is lightweight and it provides a more natural appearance.
