October is Breast Cancer Awareness
month.
month.
For those of you who don’t know, it’s an annual campaign to increase awareness
of the disease. Sadly many people are all too aware of the disease and
have experienced its devastating effects. The campaign is there to encourage
people to take steps to identify any signs or symptoms as early as possible and
seek advice which could potentially save their life.
My husband’s grandmother died earlier in the year after a long battle with
cancer, so it’s a campaign we strongly believe in.
Breast cancer is not always a terminal illness but it can be a life changing one It’s likely that a woman may feel insecure
about their new body shape after treatment, so it’s great to find brands out there
that cater for people who have been
affected in such ways, and I think it’s important that we know about them.

In the 1960’s Dr Weber-Unger created a special care bra range, where she initially
began by sewing fabric breast forms using simple materials which were filled
with rice. The first bras containing pockets to hold breast forms were also
designed at the same time. The first liquid-filled breast forms were then
developed and sold at the end of the 1960’s, with the more natural looking
silicon being used in the 1970’s.
