Mastectomy Matters: Proper Care & Cleaning of your Breast Forms

How to Clean Silicone Breast Forms: A Simple Guide | Lisa’s Lacies Mastectomy Matters

Mastectomy surgery is a big journey—both emotionally and physically. But with the right support, like a reliable, comfortable breast form, it can make all the difference! Silicone breast forms, in particular, are a fantastic option for many women, offering a natural feel and ease of use. The good news is that keeping your silicone breast forms in tip-top shape is easier than you might think. Let’s walk through a simple, stress-free cleaning process that will have your breast forms feeling fresh and comfortable every time you wear them.

Step 1: Gather Your Cleaning Supplies
Before you dive into cleaning, it’s time to gather your supplies. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Mild soap (nothing too harsh, please!)
  • Warm water
  • A soft cloth or sponge

If you’re feeling fancy, you can also use our specially designed soft cleanser (click here to purchase – $9.95), perfect for cleaning your breast forms without causing damage. Trust us, your forms will thank you!

Step 2: Handwashing Your Silicone Breast Forms
Now that your supplies are ready, it’s time for the fun part—cleaning! Fill a basin or sink with warm water, and add a little mild soap or your soft cleanser of choice. Gently dip your breast forms into the water, and use your soft cloth or sponge to wipe them clean. Be gentle though—think of it like giving your breast forms a relaxing spa day! Avoid scrubbing too hard, as this could damage the silicone.

Step 3: Rinse and Repeat
Once your breast forms are nice and clean, rinse them under warm water to remove any lingering soap residue. You want them squeaky clean, not soapy!

Step 4: Drying Time
After rinsing, grab a soft towel and gently pat your breast forms dry. No need to go crazy with heat—heat sources like hair dryers or direct sunlight can cause damage to the silicone. Once towel-dried, let them air dry for a bit. It’s like giving them a well-deserved breather before they’re ready for their next outing.

Pro Tips for Keeping Your Breast Forms in Great Shape
To keep your silicone breast forms looking and feeling brand new, here are a few quick tips:

  • Clean them regularly if you wear them often, or before and after each use if you wear them occasionally.
  • Stay away from harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or brushes—these can do more harm than good.
  • When you’re not using them, store your breast forms in a proper case. Avoid leaving them in places where they could be exposed to direct sunlight or heat, as this can damage the material.

Cleaning your silicone breast forms may seem like a small task, but it goes a long way in ensuring they last and stay comfortable. With just a little attention, you can keep them in perfect condition and ready for any occasion.
