The lovely ladies at Knitted Knockers sent me everyday softies and swimming softies! I even got a handwritten good luck card with one lot. It's so uplifting to receive these packages when you are struggling to come to terms with your "broken" body. I urge anyone who has had or is going to have a mastectomy to ask them for a donation x

I think they are amazing ... I go to a breast cancer group and several of the ladies have them .... They are very light ... They love them ... But for me after having prosthesis breasts which weigh about nearly 2lb each I found them too light !! They will be good for swimming for me but not for everyday wear .. I think if you get them before you get used to the weight & feel of prosthesis breast.... you will love them . Good luck,
