Like most Lingerie shops and businesses we regularly see customers who have or have had breast cancer and are looking for post surgery bras, or pocketted bras. We therefore always try and offer support whenever we can to suport breast cancer charities. Our main supplier for post sugery and mastectomy bras is Royce Lingerie and to heighten awareness of Breast Cancer they have joined up with the charity Against Breast Cancer in producing a credit card size card giving advice on how to be 'Breast Aware'.  We are happy to support this campaign and will be offering the cards to all Just Bras customers.

Being Breast Aware

• Being 'breast aware, means getting to know your breasts.
• Remember that most breast changes are not cancer.
• Becoming familiar with your breast and how they normally look and feel ensures early detection and treatment.
• Make 'breast awareness' part of your monthly routine in the bath/ shower or when dressing.

Check For

• Size: if one breast becomes larger, changes shape or position.
• Nipples: drawing in, discharge or bleeding
• Rashes: on or aroud the nipple area (areola)
• Skin Changes: dimpling or puckering, changes to the surface of the breast
• Swelling, lumps or thickening to the breast area, under the armpit or around the collarbone, (the lymph nodes)
• Pain in any part of the breast or armpit.
• If you notice anything unusual or are worried, go to your GP.

REMEMBER THE 5 POINT CODE

1. Know what is normal for you.
2. Know the changes to look and feel for.
3. Look and Feel
4. Report and changes to your GP without delay.
5. Attend regualr breast screenings when invited.
