Taking care of your breast forms is a critical part of making sure that they will last you for years and years. As long as you treat them as you would if they were a part of your body, you’ll have no issue! We’ve put together this easy guide to caring for your breast forms.
Using your breast forms
- Wash after each use with a mild soap. If they are not self-adhering, dry the breast form with a soft towel.
- Always store your breast forms in the box they came in. This helps to prevent the breast forms from changing shape over time, and stops accidental damage.
- Wash your breast forms thoroughly after swimming or being in a hot tub
- NEVER sleep in your breast forms! To prevent accidental damage, only use sleep-safe breast forms for rest
- Store your breast forms at room temperature
- Avoid putting excessive pressure on your breast forms; this includes bras that are too small, laying on them, or giving a “firm squeeze”
- Always follow any instructions that are provided with your breast forms, especially regarding adhesives
How to prevent damage to your breast forms
- Do not use any glues that have not been recommended for your breast forms
- Keep your breast forms away from sharp objects like fingernails, jewelry, zippers, etc.
- Be gentle! Treat your breast forms like they are a part of your skin
- Do NOT try to peel your breast forms! Thr polyurethane or silicone skin helps keep your breast forms in their breast shape. Removing the membrane will leave you with goo rather than a breat fomr
- Keep your breast forms away from harsh chemicals
About breast form warranties
Breast forms come with warranties that are designed to cover defects that can occur in the manufacturing process. They do not cover damage that can be caused from mishandling of the breast form. Examples of manufacturing defects are:
- Seams separating without abuse
- Air bubbles under the skin
- Membrane displacing from the breast form

You should make the forms w/heaver plastic material as when they tear you have to use clear packing tape to repair them.
Our Gold Seal breast forms actually feature a double-strength membrane for the exact purpose of being more durable to withstand adhesives! 🙂
I just received my very first breast forms! I love them! I called and spoke to someone about sizing and a suggestion on what brand, shape, etc she would recommend. I received great customer service!
I’ve had my Amolux Diamond Deluxe self-adhering prosthetics for almost three years. They are absolutely amazing! They move with my body, the adhesive attached to my chest wall keeps the prosthetics in place. Friends have complimented how natural the feel when hugging or looking at my silhoutte. Yes, they are a bit more fragile than some, but the movement and realistic feel is AMAZING. Thank you for recommending such a fine product, which gives me confidence in my day to day life!

I have a loud diamond. I wash them every time I remove them, but I’m finding they are losing their “tackiness”. Is there anyway to rejuvenate them, I love them.
The self-adhering back is designed to last the lifetime of the breast forms, but if you are finding that the adhesion is lacking, make sure that you are using a non-moisturizing soap as that can affect adhesion! If you need more assistance, send us an email and we can see if we can help more. 🙂
I have an older Breast Plate. The velcro pad came off one side, and I am not ready to purchase another Breast Plate just yet. What kind of glue can I use on the Breast Plate to fix it? I have tried Belino Cuir, E6000, & T-8000 Glues none of which even came close to holding.
Hey Becky, we’d recommend checking with the manufacturer to get their specific recommendations! We currently do not offer any breastplates that use velcro, so we can’t give any recommendations that may bond well enough to the material. The manufacturer (or the store you bought it from) will be able to tell you exactly what will be best! 🙂
