Breast cancer results in the need for an external breast prosthesis
when reconstructive surgery is not selected. The basic requirement
is for post mastectomy bras to insure that the breast forms maintain
a suitable position in whatever type of apparel is being worn.
Standard and plus size apparel that is specific for women that have had mastectomies
is usually supplied with a pocket sewn in to accommodate the breast
prosthesis and keep it in proper position. Fashion is very
important and post mastectomy swimsuits are designed to accommodate a breastform.
Apparel such as post mastectomy bras, post mastectomy swimsuits and post mastectomy lingerie are
supplied specifically for woment that have had breast cancer
and subsequent lumpetomy or complete breast removal.
The transgender community, consisting of male cross dressers
and transvestites also use apparel that is designed to
accommodate breast forms. They are very fashion oriented
in their sellection and use of lingerie, bras, swimsuits, wigs and cosmetics.
