The breast shape forms attach to the skin using medical-grade adhesive. This keeps them securely in place. The forms are made from high-quality silicone material. This makes them soft and comfortable. The silicone breast forms are available in various sizes and shapes.
• Silicone Breast Inserts: Silicone breast inserts are popular among women who desire fuller breasts. The inserts are placed inside a bra to give the user the desired breast shape. They are made from soft and flexible silicone. This material makes them comfortable to use. The silicone breast inserts are easy to clean and maintain. Users can wash them with soap and water.

How to choose silicone breast molds

When selecting a silicone breast mold, one must consider many things. First, what kind of breast shape is desired? Many breast molds come in different sizes and shapes, so finding one that closely resembles the desired shape is vital.

Next, think about the silicone quality. Medical-grade silicone is the best choice because it is body-safe and durable. It is vital to look at the silicone's firmness, as some firmer breasts may not be suitable for users seeking a softer feel.

Another essential factor is the mold's base. Some silicone breast molds have a solid base, while others are more flexible. A solid base may be better if the mold will be used for breast reconstruction or prosthesis. A flexible base may be more comfortable for users seeking a mold for breast augmentation.

It is also essential to consider the size and weight of the mold. Some silicone breast molds are more miniature and lighter, while others are larger and heavier. The size and weight will depend on personal preference and how the mold will be used.

Finally, it is essential to consider the price of the mold. Many silicone breast molds are reasonably priced, but some can get more expensive due to the silicone's quality. It is vital to find an affordable mold and one that will last a long time.

By considering these factors, one can quickly find the suitable silicone breast mold they need.

How to use, install, and product safety

To get the desired results when using silicone breast molds, it is essential to follow the instructions and tips outlined below.

Preparing the Mold

• Cleaning

  Before using the silicone breast mold, it should be cleaned thoroughly. Wash it with warm, soapy water, then rinse it with water. Leave it to dry completely before use.

• Preparing the breast

  Using a breast pump or hand expression, empty the milk from the breast where the mold will be placed. This will make the breast soft and pliable for easy mold insertion.

• Applying lubricant

  To insert the mold comfortably, apply a water-based lubricant to the nipple and the mold's rim. The lubricant will ease the insertion and create a seal to prevent milk from leaking during breastfeeding.

Inserting the Mold

• Relax the body

  Relaxing the body is essential before inserting the mold. Tension will make it hard to insert the mold. Take a few deep breaths to calm the body.

• Insert the Mold

  Gently squeeze the mold to expel any air. Place the mold at the breast and tilt it slightly. Gently push the mold's rim into the breast tissue, then pull the breast tissue into the mold. Release the squeezing so the mold can suck onto the breast.

• Adjust the Mold

  Once inserted, adjust the mold as needed for comfort. Some molds have a valve that can release built-up pressure or air. Check the valve and release any pressure during breastfeeding.

Detaching the Mold

• Detach the Mold

  After breastfeeding, gently pull on the breast tissue to detach the mold. Do not twist the mold, as this can cause discomfort. Squeeze the mold to expel any remaining air, making it easier to remove.

• Clean the Mold

  Once detached, clean the mold again with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry it for the next use. Proper cleaning and drying prevent the buildup of bacteria that may irritate the skin.

Product Safety

Silicone breast molds are generally safe for use on the breast. They are made from high-quality silicone, which is non-toxic and hypoallergenic.

However, it is advisable to look for silicone molds that have approval certifications from relevant health authorities. The certifications indicate that the mold meets the required safety standards.

Also, follow the manufacturer's instructions when using the mold. This will ensure that one uses it properly and for desired results. Avoid using the mold when it causes excessive pain or discomfort to the breast.
