Fitting & Care for your Breast Forms

Silicone Breast Form Lifestyle

Your comfort, confidence, and the longevity of your prosthesis are our top priorities at Basic Intimates. Follow these expert tips to care for your silicone breast form and ensure it remains safe, pristine, and beautifully natural.

1. Daily Cleaning

  • Gently wash your breast form after each wear using lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap.
  • Remove sweat, oils, and residue with care — avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cloths.
  • Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap and pat dry with a soft, lint-free towel. Never wring or twist the form.
  • Allow the form to air-dry completely before storing or wearing again.
⚠️ Avoid bleach, alcohol, solvents, or harsh detergents — these may damage the silicone.

2. Proper Storage

  • Store your form in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
  • Keep it in the original box or a soft, breathable bag to protect from dust and deformation.
  • Always lay the form flat or on a supportive stand to maintain its natural shape.
  • Keep away from sharp objects or pets that could puncture the silicone.

3. Handling Tips

  • Handle with clean hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt.
  • Avoid wearing jewelry that may snag or tear the silicone.
  • If your form has adhesive backing, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for removing and cleaning adhesive residues.

4. Wearing & Fitting

  • Pair your form with a well-fitted post-mastectomy or post-surgery bra for comfort and a natural silhouette.
  • Check regularly for signs of wear, tear, or discoloration and replace if necessary.
  • Rotate between forms if you have multiple to allow each to air out and maintain its shape.

5. Tips for Longevity

  • Keep away from extreme temperatures (hot water, radiators, ovens).
  • Avoid exposure to oils, lotions, or perfumes on the back of the form, which may degrade the silicone.
  • Clean gently — rough handling can reduce the lifespan of your prosthesis.

Summary

With thoughtful care, your silicone breast form will remain comfortable, natural-looking, and durable for daily wear. Following these steps helps you maintain confidence and elegance every day.
