I was going to message you moomy they were in store they are shaped for right or left slip prosthesis in pocket . Then place in cup of bra using a press stud loop around strap .
I’ve just tried it and it felt and looked fine . Far easier than using the sew in ones.and of course cheaper because it moves from bra to bra.
They were in bra dept with other items like back extenders . Might have to ask they were hiding in plain sight on pillar price was £10 for pack of two then VAT removed at checkout .
That’s great, thank you Northerner , I looked on line too and they are there for the same price. A really useful idea.
Night night Fruit Loops, sleep well and stay safe, plenty of sleepy fairy dust for all who wish

Occasions like this brings me back to this piece by Richard Osman.
“Wales is awesome, I think that is universally agreed. Quite apart from anything the Welsh are charming, funny and self-depreciating, and yet still manage to have a dragon on their flag. That is ballsy beyond belief. Finnish people are equally lovely, but they wouldn’t dream of having a dragon on their flag.
“If the history of Wales can be summed up, it is largely that the Welsh like to be left alone to enjoy themselves, people try to invade, the Welsh fight fiercely and eventually repel them, and then go back to enjoying themselves.
“The Romans tried to invade and the Welsh just sort of settled in around them, took their money and waited for them to leave. The Angles and Saxons tried to invade and got short shrift. The Normans also had a pop and, for a while, were successful, until one morning the Welsh decided to have a good stretch, fetch their weapons and drive them back over the English border. England was, of course, an astonishingly easy country to invade, and was always far less cool about the whole thing than Wales.
“The idea that England in some way conquered Wales is one of the most laughable ideas in British history. Edward I ‘imposed his rule’ on Wales after the death of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd. This was a rare error on the part of the Welsh. Llywelyn was also know as ‘Llywelyn The Last’ and you have to ask who on earth would choose a king with a name like that? It’s simply asking for trouble (see also ‘Ethelred The Unready’, ‘Catherine The Doomed’ and ‘Olaf The Always Distracted By His Phone’).
“But if England was nominally in charge of Wales then nobody told the Welsh. Henry VIII for example banned the use of the Welsh language in any official capacity in the mid-16th century. In most normal countries (say Finland) this would lead to the slow death of the language, but here we are nearly 600 years later and not only is Welsh still spoken it is thriving. Nice try Henry VIII.
“Interestingly, earlier laws had banned any Welsh man from carrying arms or holding office, but also banned any English man who was married to a Welsh woman from the same. Which conveniently overlooks the fact that no man married to a Welsh woman could care less about carrying arms or holding office, because they have such an awesome wife.
“So what if Wales officially became part of the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707, and part of the United Kingdom in 1801? It has carried on just the same. Through coal and steel, through non-conformist politics and non-conformist religion, through Dylan Thomas and the Manic Street Preachers, through being the straight-up nicest people you could meet, who could drink you under the table and would walk you to your taxi, the Welsh humbly don’t really care who imagines they’re in charge, they just carry on happily being Welsh.
“Big challenges face the Wales of today, from the collapse of traditional industries to what on earth to do with the ‘man-bun’ that Gareth Bale seems to be persisting with, but they face the challenges as always, with humour, with a calm knowledge of their superiority and with a great big dragon smack-bang in the middle of their flag.”
Love this. I am half Irish and know their history from invasions. I have been living in France but possibly moving to Wales to be nearer family in the Midlands. I do love Wales, spent a lot of time there as a child and I appreciate both the beauty and the personality of the Welsh. Maybe I can get into their Rugby
Happy Easter Fruit Loops I came on to have a catch up on what I’ve missed and crikey what news. LondonLass I’m glad you’ve got a plan in place now, I find it’s helps me manage my emotions a little better knowing the plan, hope you tolerate it all and they can get it all back under control as before. moomy so sorry you’ve had a reoccurrence and are treading the familiar path again, life is so unfair sometimes Mags123 your continued issues sound so stressful, I hope it all comes to an end soon. Lacomtekp happy anniversary and I hope your mum continues to recover. Lots of love to the rest of you as always. I am by and large ok, I’ve had yet another cold I can’t shift, I seem to still pick up everything going and they linger but I’m just getting on with it. Had a neck x ray this week as I keep having pain so they’re just checking there’s nothing sinister going on, fingers crossed. I think it’s stress to be honest, I have to sell my house and move in 3 years, part of my divorce, I can’t afford to stay where I am, and trying to pick somewhere else is weighing heavy on my mind. The thought of moving areas, finding a new job and starting again is daunting! Anyway! Much love to you all xx
Love to you too. And holding your hand as I know a little of what you are going through. I am retired which I suppose helps a little, but have been living in France and decided to move back. Have just been over to France in the middle of chemo sessions to pack and move things in time for the sale of my house.... now I have to start looking for somewhere here in UK. It is stressful, but one step at a time. I am not divorced but separated now for 12 years and was living the life until cancer struck - cant believe I was backpacking on the Greek islands just 18 months ago.... oh to get on the trail again. Anyway good luck. Happy Easter and much love x
I bought these but ended up sewing them in because they « wandered »
l also bought their prothesis to try.Very good value, and gives me a better shape than the one l was given after surgery.
Let's hope you are back packing again soon Anji Whereabouts in the uk are you looking to settle?
Many thanks Anna12345 I hope things are resolved by the end of this week!! The stress is unbearable.
Hope everyone is enjoying good weather. I'm about to hobble my way to my daughter's house to drop off some things my sister has sent for the children.
Possibly to Wales, things are much more expensive here in UK than in France, so Wales is nearer to my family in the Midlands and plus I do like Wales as I spent a lot of time there as a child.
Stresswise I listen to a lot of destressing music on Youtube. Ennio Morconi for instance or other relaxing music.... I should play it when I drive.... definitely need anger management
All the best and Happy Easter to one and all
