Probably not a bad idea, although I suspect that many of the longer term members won't have changed.

(they also now have an Australian site) The forms are called Transform Super Soft Classic and I have found them excellent to wear and the service was good too. (they're pricy though) |
Define pricy. The Amoena self-adhesive forms that I bought a few years ago cost me $800 from a local masectomy fitter. It's interesting to note that when sold this way, these are considered to be essential medical equipment and are not subject to GST!

Hi Alice,
What are your thoughts now on this model? Do they still adhere well on their own, and how secure were they without a bra? Would you recommend them?

The forms are still in great shape. I use them with and without pulling the skin up to create cleavage and they stick great.
They are designed to stay put with a little bit of support such as from a bra. I generally choose to wear underwire bras but I suspect that even light support swimmers or similar would be adequate to keep them from peeling off the skin. If you tried to wear them completely loose, they would peel away from the skin in seconds or minutes.
