Top Tips for Staying Cool This Summer - Choosing The Right Mastectomy Wear and Breast Forms

​6 ways to help you stay cool, even when it’s sweltering outside.  

​Don’t get too close for comfort: 

Optimal fit is hugely important! A mastectomy bra that’s too tight increases the chance of heat rashes under the bust. Perspiration can lead to painful chaffing and skin infections. 

​A bra designed to beat the heat: ​

​The unique Bianca mastectomy bra is made with spacer foam that has tiny air pockets to let air flow through the cup. It provides lightweight comfort.  Of course, all Amoena bras are pocketed, and made of highest quality breathable fabric.

​Wish you could go braless in the heat?

You can thanks to the built-in pocketed shelf bra in our hugely popular Valletta Camisole top.  The Valletta, with modest rounded neckline, is so flattering, soft and comfortable, it may be all you’ll ever want to wear in a heat wave.

​Breast forms with a cooling effect:

​Most Amoena breast forms, and all Amoena Breast Shapers, include the revolutionary patented Comfort + technology. When you perspire, microcapsules in the form absorb your excess heat. It’s integrated in the Amoena Contact adhesive form, Natura, and Energy forms.

​The coolest form of all:

​Great for active women and hot flushes, the Amoena Energy breast form has a unique three dimensional pearl surface on the back of the breast form which allows air to flow freely behind the form, increasing ventilation and moisture evaporation. The Energy has 30% more Comfort+ material than the Natura. 

​Hydrate and dive:

​The Amoena Aqua Wave breast form is made for swimming.  This form has a hollowed back so water flows through without accumulating.  It’s very light and quick drying, and gives you a lovely shape.  You can even keep it in your Amoena swimsuit so you can get into the water faster.
