This form is exactly the same as the #870 NEARLY ME BASIC® Tapered Oval but with the extra lightweight 'whipped" silicone gel. This form is 35% lighter than the #870.
The NEARLY ME BASIC® Line of breast forms are an economical option with shallower profiles and soft yet extra-durable outer film.
“Tapered” means that the profile is shallower, and that the wing on this oval is long and thin, so it lays flatter against the chest, and there’s a nice transition to the natural tissue. The apex is centered in the fullest part of the front.
The Oval shape has a “wing” that can be turned in any direction to fill where needed, or can be turned to wear in strapless dresses or halter tops.
“Whipped” silicone gel forms are very popular because they are lighter, but the decision to wear a lighter form should be considered carefully. Consult your Certified Mastectomy Fitter to make sure your bra and breast form fit correctly if you feel that your breast form is too heavy.
Consumers should discuss all fitting and health insurance options regarding this form with a Certified Mastectomy Fitter (CMF). Click here for more details about CMFs.
