Measuring

How to Measure

While wearing a bra: Measure around the torso just under the arms and under the breasts. If necessary round up to an even number to calculate your band size. Measure around the fullest part of the bust line. Deduct the calculated band size. Each 1" difference equals a cup size. (1" inch or less is an A cup, a 2" difference is a B cup and so on.) If the band size is 40" or greater add 3 1/2" for a more precise fit,rounding up to an even number.

Fitting A Prosthesis / Prosthesis Shapes:

Triangular-Symmetrical

Triangular shaped forms can be worn on either the left or the right side of the body. These are suitable for younger women with firmer pectoral muscles. These shapes are designed to suit most contemporary surgical techniques, where less breast tissue is removed.

Teardrop-Symmetrical

Suitable for women whose surgeries remove some underarm or Clavicle tissue. The teardrop form has an extension which can be angled for best fit. Can be worn on the left or right side of the body.

Heart Shaped-Symmetrical

An extremely versatile shape which fills the bra cup without unnecessary bulk when no auxiliary tissue has been removed in surgery. Suitable for younger women with firmer pectoral muscles.

Asymmetrical

Asymmetrical shapes provide a range of cup projection and profile in the bra from shallow to full, depending on the extent of the surgery. Underarm extensions fill and blend where surgery has removed tissue.
