FAQ - Questions about Breast Forms

1. What is a Breast Form? A breast form is a breast prosthesis you wear externally to closely simulate the natural contours and weight of your own breast. It can be made from silicone foam or fiberfill.

2. What is a breast form made of? They are made of silicone. Some forms are a single layer silicone, which is less expensive, but today most of the forms are made of a two layer silicone. The back layer is firm to simulate the chest muscle while the front layer is soft and moves and feels like a natural breast.

3. What is the advantage of a weighted silicone breast form? This type of breast form feels and looks more natural. It provides better balance, warms to your own body temperature, and is more natural to the touch.

4. Will my activities be restricted when I am wearing a breast form? Not at all. You can play tennis, golf, run or participate in most any sport. If you're active, you may want to increase your wardrobe of breast forms to include an attachable breast form from the "Affinity Collection" or lightweight models, such as Classic Light or Leisure Teardrop.

5. Can I wear it when I swim? Yes, you can wear your breast form in the hot tub, swimming pool and ocean. Amoena breast forms are designed to withstand the same temperature as your body. We do recommend that you gently pat dry your breast form after these activities.
