Repairing a damaged form

Breast Forms (especially silicone breast forms) are very delicate and even if you take constant delicate care of your breast forms, accidents, friction or just plain age may take its toll. Breast forms may get punctured, their outer envelope seams may split, or other unforeseen damage can occur.

Amazing Breasts recommend that you take out a lifetime insurance guarantee for a single payment of £99/$159 per pair. This insures immediate repacement should your breast forms be damaged in any way.

Can a breast form be "repaired"?

It definitely depends on the degree of the damage, but there might be some things you can do.

Make the repair as soon as possible after it is found. Material may continue to leak out if this is not done, and the material in the form may break down over time with air contact.

Find a suitable adhesive material to use on the silicone form.

Many materials may not stick or stick well to the materials in silicone breast forms, but here are some suggested patching materials- Smooth surface tape used for gauze bandages, Clear silicone glue, dermal adhesive patches (medical grade - from 3M) can be found in most drug stores in the first aid department with other bandages or adhesives.

Remember though - repairing your breast forms in this method is only a short term solution and may not be successful.
