Question 1

What is a buying guide for choosing a breast prosthesis?

Accepted Answer

There are many types of breast prostheses or breast forms to choose from that come in many different styles, weights and shapes. If you have undergone cancer surgery you may have a prosthetic nurse who can help you choose. If you are looking for a breast prosthesis or breast form for uneven breasts (rather than to replace an entire breast) then Evenly can help. Our Bra BalancersTM have been specifically designed for balancing out breast asymmetry. They are worn in the bra cup on the side of your smaller breast and perfectly fill the space between the cup and the breast. They mimic natural breast tissue using weighted silicone to correct any weight imbalance between your breasts and we’ve used clear silicone to ensure they are suitable for all skin tones.

Question 2

How to use 'chicken cutlet' bra inserts?

Accepted Answer

Before finding Evenly, many of our customers resorted to using ‘chicken cutlet / fillet’ style bra inserts in an attempt to bring balance to their bras. The main drawbacks to this is that ‘chicken cutlet’ inserts are designed to be worn on both sides and lift and press together the boobs to enhance cleavage. They’re shaped like a chicken breast fillet, or cutlet (giving them their name) to make them easy to place under your breast, rather than over the breast, for maximum push up effect. This makes them unsuitable for asymmetry as they would just lift one boob higher than the other (and who wants that?) They also rarely come in different sizes, and one standard size is expected to fit all. Our Bra BalancersTM were designed specifically for breast asymmetry and are perfectly sized and weighted to fill the void in your bra cup on your smaller side and restore balance to your bra without leaving you with lopsided cleavage.

Question 3

Do I need a special bra to use silicone breast forms?

Accepted Answer

Our Evenly Bra Balancers™ can be worn in any bra you already own, as your smaller breast will sit within the deep concave back of the breast form which will keep it snugly in place. However, like any other silicone breast form, you can place it inside the pocket of a bra (or bikini top) if you'd like a little extra security that it won't slip out - it’s entirely your choice as to what you’re comfortable with. For other silicone breast forms, such as a full breast prosthesis you may need to wear a pocketed bra (sometimes called a mastectomy bra).

Question 4

What do silicone boobs feel like? Are they like natural boobs?

Accepted Answer

The silicone we use in our Evenly Bra BalancersTM is extremely soft and natural feeling. It can be squashed and squeezed and many of our customers have said their partners haven’t been able to tell the difference when they’ve had a cheeky feel! It also moves in a very natural way, unlike many other harder and more rigid breast prosthetics (silicone boobs).

Question 5

Which is better, a bra or boob tape?

Accepted Answer

Bras or boob tape are both good options for keeping our girls in place. However, ourBra Balancers™ do work best in bras (the clue is in the name).
