Adhesive breast forms, also known as self-adhesive breast forms or stick-on breast forms, are a type of breast prosthesis that are attached to the body with adhesive. They are worn to simulate the appearance of a natural breast and can be used to create a more feminine silhouette or to replace a breast that has been removed due to surgery or other reasons.
Adhesive breast forms are a good option for people who are allergic to bras or who have sensitive skin, as they do not require a bra for support. They can also be a convenient option for people who do not want to wear a bra or who want to wear clothing that is not compatible with a bra.
To use adhesive breast forms, follow these steps:
- Clean the skin: Before applying the breast forms, clean the skin with a mild soap and water to remove any oils or lotions. Dry the skin thoroughly.
- Peel off the backing: Peel off the backing from the breast form to expose the adhesive surface.
- Apply the breast form: Hold the breast form in place and press down firmly to ensure good contact with the skin.
- Smooth out any air bubbles: Use your fingers to smooth out any air bubbles that may have formed between the breast form and the skin.
- Wear the breast form for the recommended amount of time: Adhesive breast forms usually come with a recommended wear time, typically between 8 and 12 hours. Be sure to remove the breast form before this time to avoid skin irritation.
It is important to choose a high-quality adhesive breast form that is made with durable materials and has good reviews from other users. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use and care to ensure the best results and to extend the life of the breast form.
