How do I find a breast prosthesis?

There are many styles and types of prosthesis and you will probably want to experiment over time to find what is right for you. You can buy bras specially designed for holding prosthesis but, any bra can have a ‘sleeve’ or ‘pocket’ sewn into it for a prosthesis. There are varying ‘weights’ and materials  for prosthesis, depending on your comfort.Some are able to stick to your skin like a post-it note, not leaving any residue. Some are better for bathing suits. Some are better for hot weather.
