Have heard knitted knockers are really light and good, they have been on TV , they are a charity run by a few ladies.

Yep I have some Knitted Knockers, they’re fab. Have a look at their website (google knitted knockers) , there’s a form to fill in you tell them the size and they make them and send to you.. they’re free, beautifully wrapped, come in lots of fab colours too. Definitely worth a try,

Atb,

There are foam ones that claim to be better then silicone. I have never used either one. You can check tlcdirect.org.

When I first had my op the hospital gave me what they called a softie. It was fabric with filling like you use it toys. After I got my silicon I used the softie when it was hot or when I went swimming.

I still use my softie one year on but the breast nurse was horrified she said it was meant for the first six weeks only

I couldn't see any problem with wearing it. I washed it regularly and always wore it swimming as silicon was too heavy for my swim suit.
