swimming?
But I have a question --
I still have a prothesis, foam, size DD. I think I'd drown trying to swim with that thing . Anybody aware of any inexpensive substitutes, just for swimming?
thanks

Hope this helps!
One of the main reasons that I had reconstruction is I love to swim. While waiting for my reconstructive surgeries years ago, I swam with something called a swimming prosthesis, which is basically foam with a small weight at the bottom. Regular foam floats up and the usual silicone sinks down in a swimsuit.
Today, they make a lighter silicone swimming prosthesis, which hopefully will not sink in your suit. I haven't tried one because I no longer need one since reconstruction.
I am going to attach a couple of links, but if you google "swimming breast prosthesis", many sites come up.
