Prosthetic breasts

I slept in my ameona breast forms and one of them stuck to my skin and tore the backing. I was camping and it was well below freezing so I hadn’t wanted them to freeze. In the morning when I went to adjust it, I noticed the tear. The year is about 3/4” long How can I repair this? Would a tegaderm fix this?

Cut a piece of a plastic food bag about an inch wide and 2 inches longer than the length of the rip, and use Superglue.  The Tegaderm patch's adhesive will release after several wearings.

I’ll try this soon. Does it need to use flexible silicone superglue or is regular cyanoarcrylate superglue suitable?

 @Lorelei       Back when it happened to me, all I had was the regular stuff.  It depends on which surface the rip is on.  If it is the inside against your body, the plain kind will do it but the outside against the bra is a different situation.

Thank you for the advice. I’ll do that soon.

@Lorelei I hope the repair works for you!

 

I often wear a mastectomy bra with my forms so they don't touch my skin directly. I found that I often sweat underneath them if they are directly against my chest and the mastectomy bras solve that problem.

 

I just recently found a pair of inexpensively priced sleep-rated forms that I wear at night and save my good quality forms for everyday wear. I also found some nice wireless mastectomy sleep bras made by Delimira on Amazon that are very comfortable.

I tried the superglue and it didn’t stick to the plastic bag. So I am using some chicken cutlet forms until I find a cheap replacement or go more permanently and get top surgery. I just need to get a therapist note for insurance to cover the surgery. I’ll use Tegaderm repair on the ripped on special occasions like my cousins wedding.

      Yes, it does sound like a very good book, a very touching and timely story.  But I don't think I'll read it.  It is painful enough to live in the now, and face some of the evils that this administration has wrought.  I'm not much interested in reading about the same sort of thing happening to imaginary characters living in the 1940's.   Carolyn Marie

      The treatment of Trans people who very much existed in the pre - WWII years did not really improve with the end of the war.  I have not read this book, but have read and studied others about the people involved.  The story is sobering and even saddening, but one that needs to be told.  Our fears are historic, but so is our dream to simply be people among people doing people things in life including love.

      Yes, my first thought was, "That means that..."  But like you, I'll try to concentrate on the positive.

      This looks like a good book!   https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/books/story/2025-04-29/lilac-people-book-review-milo-todd

      Good morning    It is our 53rd anniversary today.  There have been good times and bad, love and hate but we worked things out and here we are 53 years later and still together.  There have been a few times I thought we were done.  Once I was ready to call it, once she was and one time I was even making contingency plains certain it was on the horizon but all that is in the past now.   We are even going shopping today to see if we can find nice outfits to celebrate our anniversary.  Ok it’s a far cry from going on a cruise or a trip somewhere but I don’t think she could handle that even if we could afford it.  She has really aged in the past year.  And honestly, so have I. In her case it is physically with some short term memory loss.  In my case it is strictly memory loss.  Sometimes I really have to think about things that just came snap snap snap to me before.  I do things to exercise my mind but they aren’t always helping.  I know it does no good to say “I told you… “ to my wife.  If she doesn’t remember right then and there it never happened.     So to all you younger coffee drinkers, stay healthy, stay happy and stay active as long as you can.  Couch potatoing is bad.  TV is ok in limitation but nothing beats going for a bicycle ride or walking, jogging or running if you can.  I am not and never was an athlete.  In fact a medical DNA test showed that I was in the lower 25% on that, som-armed to other men and boys.  Yet another confirming thing that points to my being transgender.  I used my brain instead.   but this is getting long and becoming dribble so I’ll stop.  Just stay active mentally and physically.

      I'll try to see that as positive rather than concentrating on the inverse of that 49%.   Hugs,   Charlize

      A good thought for finding peace of mind today is: "Focus on what you can control and let go of what you cannot." This encourages you to prioritize your actions and thoughts within your sphere of influence, while releasing the need for control over external factors. This approach can lead to a more calm and less stressful day.
