Topic Bras, Lilypadz, Traumeel, Clif Bars and more (2686 hits) Previous Next Up

By Annette On 01/20/10 04:14 pm
After many years, BreastHealthOnline finally has its own store back. We built our former store because members often had a hard time finding the items we talked about here, or had trouble with bra manufacturers that never shipped their orders. We took it in house and it was great for many years but the staff that warehoused and ran it moved onto other projects in their life. Afterall, we're all volunteer here and we couldn't blame them.

 We chose Amazon.com to host our store this time. You can shop with confidence, use your Prime account for free shipping if you have one and expect the same satisfaction and return policy you're used to from Amazon. When you arrive at the store you'll see a list of everything we offer in the right hand box 'Browse By Category Box' - it lists Bras, Traumeel Cream, Lilypadz, Skin care, Clif Bars and Books.

You'll be able to see what Lilypadz are and find an array of post-op bras. All proceeds from the store go back to support BreastHealthOnline, so you're helping yourself and helping us continue our work here for you. Win-win-win!

 And what are Lilypadz? These ingenious silicone pads that go over your nipples that stop HEADLIGHT problems as well as protect you from some of the extreme sensitivity we often go through after surgery. Also, after you recover, you may find you don't always need a bra with a certain outfit but would like to maintain some modesty and these work great under even thin fabrics. You can even place them off center to help hide any line that might show. If you'd like some more info on that, let me know!

Please check out our Healing and Recovery Store. We have many styles of bras, Traumeel cream, Clif Bars, Lilypadz as I said, MyChelle skin care (we love this!!!) and books. We'll be adding more things as time goes by. I highly recommend the book 80/10/10. It is a raw food book, however, the nutrition lessons you'll learn alone in the first few chapters is worth the price of the book. You will never learn these things from your doctors. Nutrition in our time is a confusing and closed topic and this is an incredible resource. You don't have to 'go raw' to get a lot of benefit out of this book. Please consider this book for yourself this year - something for yourself, your health and your future

If there is something you'd like to see added to the store, or if you're planning a large purchase we can add your items to the store and BreastHealthOnline will receive part of the sale at no added cost to you.

Thank you to everyone who begged me for months (years!) for a new store. It took us a while but we think Amazon.com will be a very good choice for everyone.

Thank you so much. I swear you're one of our sweetest and most diligent supporters! I know it often looks like no one is minding the store here (pun intended!) but there is always something being futzed with behind the scenes. I'm SO glad we have our store back!

This is WONDERFUL news!! Out here in Central PA, it's hard to find a good selection of bras. I'm am Amazon Prime member so I get free shipping!!

OMG is Prime not THE BEST THING ever? I LOVE IT!!!

We are carrying the MyChelle skin care line, too. There are a few of us really addicted to this. I was at Whole Foods the other day and the girls in the  'Whole Body' section were telling me that everyone at Whole Foods uses this line. In fact, I need to add the men's line - there was a guy there and he said he's using it, too!

I love having Amazon for our store as we can carry SO much more than we ever could on our own. We could never have carried this many types of bras and we never could have afforded to carry the skin care.

 I have dry, ruddy skin and now I swim all the time in a salt water pool. My POOR red, dry face. Well the Pumpkin Cleanser, the Deep repair cream and then the Capillary serum made this HUGE HUGE difference. In fact, I was in Whole Foods looking at everything and this older woman (older than me!) had rosacea about what I had before using this. I told her how great it was for the redness and scaling and she said, "But you have no redness at all, I'm very red and scaly."  I said but I DID HAVE redness and scaling! This fixed it. She didn't believe me at first! A girl who knows me there came up and told her that yeah, I had redness and scaling much like hers and that this fixed it and that everyone there has been crazy about this stuff. She bought it and came over and thanked me as she left. I told her she can return it if she doesn't like it. I should work at Whole Foods! LOL

Anyway, yeah, Amazon is da bomb. If there is anything you'd like us to add to the store, let me know. We can add any bra you see on Amazon to our store. Well any product at all, we can add it. Really cool!

Sara~32FF hoping to soon be a C. BR on 9/10/09 :)


By Annette On 01/20/10 07:39 pm
Hi Sara!

Thank you so much.

While the store does bring some income to support the site, the main reason we ever had a store was so people could by really good, tried and true products at fair prices and with good customer service. We had nothing but 5 stars on every transaction at our old Yahoo store. Our main goal really is to help you guys get the good things we've found and it's a terrific bonus to have it help us continue to run the organization. Thanks so much for your kind note!

OH my gosh Oakley, I am SO proud! You do not have to become a raw foodist to gain a whole lot from the book. I haven't cornered the market in expertise here but if I can help you, let me know! This is very exciting! This book really changed my life. It's the key I've searched for - for over 30 years.

Keep me posted please - and thank you for your kind post over at Screaming Poodles!

Hi Annette,
I went to buy a bra from your site and for some reason Amazon would not give me my Prime free shipping. Are you sure this is set up for your online store? Can you double check on this?
Thanks!!

Tish - BR 12/17/09 -750 R, -890 L, 34JJ to 38B - it's official (but still a bit swollen on the sides


By Annette On 01/22/10 09:57 am
Hi Tish,

 Can you let me know which bra you were looking at? I need to make sure whenever possible that items are available as Prime and it may be just that - that one isn't. But, I'd prefer we carry Prime items since so many use it. I'll look at all the items today and see where I can make changes, etc. In the meantime, let me know what bra. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.


By Annette On 01/22/10 10:37 am
Tish, I went over to the store and for ease of product review, looked at our Traumeel cream. I noticed that the one I selected was not eligible for Prime. So, I found one that was and popped it into the store. I put it in my shopping cart and all the way through it offered me Prime on it. The first one listed, however, is not Prime eligible and would not give me Prime on that item. I did not check all the way out but got to the point where it showed it and my shipping options, prime or not, as I'm sure you're familiar with.

Anyway, still when you get a chance let me know which bra. It's possible we can find the same bra with Prime, which would be very nice! I need to go over all the products and make sure as many are Prime as possible since that's such a cool system.

Thanks again for your help!

Question.......I haven't had my BR yet, but wanted to get a few different things!
How do I know what size to buy for my post op bra????

I am currently a 40 I/J
Was told originally i would be down to about a D........

OTR 03/04/10 40J - 40D with swelling so far!


By Annette On 01/22/10 11:27 am
Hi!

You'd select your current band size and then you might consider getting an additional bra one band size up for swelling. The good thing about Amazon is that if one of them just isn't the right size in the end, you can quickly get the one you need and return the one you don't. I'd recommend for starters  the Leading Lady Sleep Bra (we used to sell this style like crazy from our own store and the doctors use these quite a bit) and you'd get the 40 C/D/DD. The cups stretch so you can't go wrong with it really. In the Glamorize bra I feel the sizing options aren't that great for you so I'd stick with the Leading Lady. We list them both since there is such a huge offering of sizing between the two styles and seriously, they're both really the same bra.

I hope that helps. Let me know if I can help you more with it!



 

By Mom Time On 01/22/10 11:42 am
Would it be worth it for me to grab the 42 band size as well???

Also will these ship up to Canada???

Thank you so much.  I am so lost on what to look for

By Annette On 01/22/10 11:46 am
Yes, it really would because you will have swelling and may be in that bra for a while until it comes down.

I looked up their International shipping rates and it appears they do. It says, "Delivery within 7 to 11 business days to most areas, can be up to 16 business day in outlying areas"

If you do want to buy, add things to your cart and then as you check out it will let you know for certainty well before you pay, so don't worry. Let me know if you can - I am sure they do but I'd love to know for sure!


By Mom Time On 01/22/10 11:52 am
Thank you for your help!!!
Will let you know

Annette,
I was trying to buy a Leading Lady bra. I just tried again and when I got to the checkout, the shipping charge was there. Let me know if you are able to straighten it out.
Thanks!

Tish - BR 12/17/09 -750 R, -890 L, 34JJ to 38B - it's official (but still a bit swollen on the sides


By Annette On 01/22/10 07:31 pm
Ah! Tish. I see the problem. The Leading Lady bra ships from another seller and is not covered by Prime. But, the Glamorize bra is really the same bra and it IS covered by Prime. I hope that helps. You've been so sweet to be so diligent with this! We love you!


By snuukuu On 01/22/10 07:55 pm
Great!! I was debating between the two and if they're basically the same, I'll get the Glamorize! Than you!!! I love this place! Thank you so much for all the work you do for us. I really appreciate it!

Oh you're so sweet. Thank you. I'm glad I could help

Hi Annette,
I love my Glamorize bra! I want to buy another but had to search to find this link. Can you update your "store" link on the home page?
Thanks!

Ah. Yeah. That's a problem for us. We can't get upgrades on the site right now. We need new software. If I can get it done, I will but I don't foresee that. Thanks for reminding me to keep bumping the store. I forgot!

I'm glad you like your bra and sorry about the post thing. I hate to do that. Glad it worked for you


By snuukuu On 01/29/10 05:13 pm
no problem. I understand : )

That is fantastic, I am an Amazon Prime customer too. The ups guy says I should have stock in the company. Wish I had waited to order an extra recovery bra, but I'm sure I will find other stuff to order. I am looking for a new skin care line. Thanks Annette for all your hard work!

Thanks for bumping this! I use Amazon ALL THE TIME and LOVE it! Got my lily padz and so many things pre-surgery from Amazon. Wish I'd known about our store so that BHO could have benefitted. It will now!
