The Evolution of Silicone Breast Forms
How the Boost Breast Form is Created
This is a question that we constantly get at Boost HQ, and for good reason. Understanding the difference between traditional breast forms and ours can be a game-changer for comfort and confidence. So, we thought we’d take some time to answer it in a blog post!
Traditional breast forms often rely on silicone gel encased in plastic, creating a texture some describe as “fleshy” or even squishy. This can feel unnatural for many. Boost’s products ARE silicone breast forms, but they are made differently.
Silicone Breast Forms with a Dash of Innovative
Boost decided to take a more innovative approach. We use medical-grade, skin-safe silicone in a special mold to create our forms. This results in a comfortable, lightweight, and breathable design. While Boost forms offer a more natural firmness than traditional options, they still provide a desirable level of softness.
In fact, the softness of the silicone combined with the clever way the rib structures work to spring the breast form into shape means that all our products offer a soft, squidgy feel without compromising on style. They provide shape without the weight because sometimes you just need a lightweight silicone breast form for active life, sports, and swimming or just to make your bras feel more comfortable.
From the larger products in the Curve range to the smaller products in the Shape range, each of our foobs (fake boobs) has softness and enough bounce to pass the HUG TEST.
How Can You Ensure They Look and Feel Natural?
The secret is in the HUG TEST!
Well, that’s one of the many methods we use to make sure that our breast forms are soft enough to help our customers navigate through real life. If someone gives you a really big hug, our Boost breast forms have just the right amount of bounce that they can squidge a little without moving position or squishing flat. Not quite a natural boob, but a great alternative so that the hugger can’t tell the difference.

Ensuring Sustainability with Boost Breast Forms
Using 100% medical grade silicone means there is only one type of material in the product and this makes it MUCH easier to recycle. So your Boost’s silicone can be re-chipped and reused if you no longer need your breast form so it doesn’t end up in a landfill. Great isn’t it!
Medical grade silicone is also skin safe, which means that a Boost breast form can be worn directly against your body, so finding a bra for silicone breast forms might be easier than you’d think. Without the additional weight of the gel filled, traditional prosthesis, many bras and bralettes will be able to support your Boost. If you fancy giving this a try, we’ve teamed up with Loung-Erie to offer a new Boost/Bralette combo in our shop.
