You can try "Knitted Knockers", nice and soft.

Just got to the website and check them out.

Greetings Sister/Warrior/Overcomer I always had small breasts, but after a lumpectomy and then marginal tissue removal, and chemo,that caused menopause my breast were almost non-existent. I used the silicone encased chicken breast/patties I bought from Mandee's many years ago, just so I could have more cleavage If you use these type chicken breast/patties,place sturdy re-usable napkins between your breast/chest area, and the chicken breast forms so that you won't sweat, you can encase the form and napkins in a stocking leg foot portion cut off from some unusable stocking . Also I wear a high impact sports bra to keep everything in place.If you have larger breast forms you may need two high impact sports bras.You can also use shoulder pads,which are lighter than the silicone filled breast forms. I could not bring myself to buy prosthetic's from the specialty surgical supply store.I hope this information helps you or somebody else looking for a solution to this problem.God bless you and, everybody in the struggle trying to live a joy-filled life. Merry Christmas and have a Healthy and Happy New Year.God does not keep us here just for ourselves. Each one teach one.Don't forget the reason for this Christmas season Amen.

The heavier breastforms can be uncomfortable. I often go without when I'm home. I posted about something called Awesome Breastforms last week. They're absolutely free and made with love by volunteers. Very soft and comfy...facebook.com/Awesome-Breast...

And here's Awesome Breastforms' website: awesomebreastforms.org/ They give you at least one free form (then encourage you to get a spare and one for swimming), all free.
