That is probably a breast form cover. It's meant to be used over the breast form if you wish to wear the form in an unpocketed bra. Or sometimes it can be used as an extra shield against perspiration through the pockets. The cover should fit very snugly and, hopefully, look smooth under your bra. Perhaps you were given the wrong size. In any event, it might be a good idea to take it back to your fitter and have her take a look. Barbara |

GEECH, If your bra straps fall down, try using wardrobe or fashion tape. It's double sided tape made to be used for revealing clothes, to keep from showing too much. It works great. You can get it at Bed Bath and Beyond, Victorias Secret, and the Playtex, Hahnes outlets. |

). I find they are too small and they tend to move around and get crooked if I have the seams on the inside, so I always use them with the seams on the outside. That way they fit well and stay put on the prosthesis. They have to be washed so I usually order an extra cover when I get new prostheses.
