The Boost Breast Form Paradox

Do you know what’s weirdest thing about running a breast form company? The Boost breast form paradox.

It’s the fact that we really, really hope that one day NOBODY WILL NEED A BREAST FORM after their breast cancer diagnosis. Wouldn’t it be fabulous when the amazing work that researchers and scientists do result in cure, prevention and treatment that could mean that mastectomies were no longer necessary? 

But that still feels a long way off. So in the meantime, Boost is here to provide our alternative and innovative products, listen to women and raise awareness. According to Breast Cancer Now, 39% of women did not regularly check their breasts for the signs and symptoms of breast cancer (https://breastcancernow.org/about-us/media/facts-statistics) This is why talking openly and reminding each other is so important – don’t forget to check!  That applies to everyone – 100% of people are born with breast tissue! 

So if you need us, we are here and our products are proudly featured in Breast Cancer Now’s guide to prostheses, bras and clothes.

Let’s just hope that one day, this type of information is no longer required as more people recognise breast cancer symptoms earlier and research means that surgery becomes much less common. 

Check your boobs. We love our customers, but like we said, we’re looking forward to a future where we might not be needed quite as much.
