Is there any way to make wearing my breast prosthesis cooler in warm weather?

 

Wearing the breast prosthesis inside the bra pocket keeps the prosthesis off the skin. This creates more ventilation to evaporate perspiration. Another solution is to wear a CoolPad® to block the heat transfer from the prosthesis to the chest wall. Some women claim that a lighter weight prosthesis feels cooler. It is very important to wear a bra that supports the breasts and prosthesis and keeps them from resting on the abdomen, as constant moisture in this area can create skin irritation. You can also try the new climate control breast form by Amoena. It uses Phase Change Material (PCM) technology to keep a woman cool when her body temperature rises and keeps her warm when her body temperature lowers. It is personal comfort.
