Consider height, weight, and figure style.
If you are 5'10" tall and a 42-46 bra size,
generally choose a C, D, or DD cup bra. If a
size 34, 36, or 38 bra, choose a cup that
balances the figure like a B or C cup. If
you choose a cup size that is too large for a
small frame, it may be harder to buy clothes.
If you choose a cup size that is too small, and
you have wide shoulders, or a big waist, your
forms will not fill out your clothes.
If you know your best ladies’ dress size, use
the chart below to find a suggested cup size.
Everyone is different, but the suggested sizes are
a great place to start.

Aligning Your Forms in
the Bra
- Triangle forms should be worn with
the smallest curve at the top.
- Oval forms can be turned vertically
or horizontally with the smallest curve (“wing”)
toward the underarm and the widest curve toward
the center. Turn them based on whether you
want fullness on the sides, fullness up the chest,
or depending on the dress you are wearing.
- Asymmetrical Classic forms have a
very special shape that is meant to be worn only
one way. Each form is a Right or a Left.
The big round curve on each form should be worn
toward the center of the chest at the bottom, and
the two little “wings” of the form fit near the
underarm. The shape should closely match the
cup of most bras. If it doesn’t fit well,
you might have it turned the wrong way or on the
wrong side.
|
| |
|
| |
Choosing Foam or Silicone
- Foam is very lightweight and comfortable.
You might want foam if you will be dancing or
doing physical activity. Foam is great for
beginners.
- Silicone has the weight and texture of natural
breasts and comes in flesh-tone colors.
Silicone forms are most comfortable when worn in
pocket bras.

Putting Forms Into a Regular Bra
- Lengthen the bra strap on one side.
- Pull the cup away from the chest wall.
- Insert the form from the inside top of the
cup. Turn the form in the direction that best
fills the bra cup and looks the most natural.
Repeat on the other side.
- After forms are in place, adjust the straps on
each side.
- Look at the fit. Both sides should match and
the bra cups should cover the prostheses
completely. The prostheses' top tapers should
prevent clothing from sinking in. Each form should
fill and not bulge at the top of the cup; plus,
the forms should settle into the bottom of each
cup. The straps should not cut into the shoulders.
- If the forms are too big, too small, or do not
fill where they need to fill, try another style or
size of form.
Putting Forms into a Pocket Bra
- Spread the bra out on a flat surface with the
inside of the bra facing you.
- Hold the form by the edges with a flat hand so
that the nipple is facing down.
- Spread the elastic on the cup and slide the
form in so that the nipple faces outward.
- Adjust the form so it settles into the bottom
of the cup.
- Hold the bra up with the form inside the
pocket to make sure it looks correct.
- Be careful not to puncture the form or fold
it. TRANSFORM ® silicone forms are very
durable, but the polyurethane skin can be
punctured.

|

Taking Forms Out of a Pocket Bra
- Slide your hand all the way into the pocket in
front of the form.
- Stretch the elastic and pull the form out
without folding it.
- Try not to grab the wing with your thumb and
forefinger to pull it out. The forms are
durable, but can be punctured.

Using Double-Sided Tape
- Peel the paper backing from one side of the
tape and attach it to the form. You can use
as many pieces as you need.
- Peel the paper backing from the other side of
the tape.
- Hold the breast form over your chest and use a
mirror to align it correctly.
- Press it firmly against your chest.
- When you are done wearing the form, gently
peel it away from the chest.
- The double-sided tape should not leave any
residue on your skin or on the form. If you
are having trouble peeling the tape from your skin
or off of the form, use a little baby oil to help
release the stickiness.
- Breast forms are always meant to be worn
inside a bra. The tape is only meant to help
keep them securely in place.
- Do not use double-sided tape on foam forms.
- Wash forms with mild soap and water after
using tape.
- Always remove the tape when you are finished
wearing the form. Do not add tape on top of
tape that is already on the form.
Cleaning Breast Forms
and Attachable Nipples
- You can wash your silicone breast forms and
silicone attachable nipples with mild soap and
water.
- Any soap that is safe for your skin is safe
for the forms’ polyurethane skin.
- Do not use solvents like alcohol or kitchen
cleaning products.
- The silicone forms are totally water proof.
- Then towel dry and put them back in the cradle
inside their box.

Cleaning Your
Lingerie
Everyone wants to look great in their clothes,
and wearing the right undergarments can make all
the difference in how an outer garment looks and
fits. Different prosthesis styles will fit
differently in different style bras. Therefore,
the most important things before choosing a breast
prosthesis are to fit the right bra size and
choose the right bra style.
Measure yourself in the following manner to
determine your appropriate bra size...
- It is always best to hand wash and air dry
lingerie so the garments retain their shape,
elasticity, and the lace details aren’t damaged.
- Hand wash with laundry detergent, rinse, and
hang or lay flat to air dry.
- Make sure to take out the breast forms before
you wash your bras.
- Wash padded panties and pads separately.
