Healthy Populations via Healthy Breasts

In Celebration of World Population Day In our many years of experience and as Thought-Leaders in Breast-Care, Bra-Fitting and Mastectomy-Care, we enjoy taking care of women and girls via the foundation garment as an engine for empowerment and social change.                                                                         Feeding the Future Feeding the Future Having designed and developed comprehensive education models, programs and toolkits to assist with discussions and education surrounding breast health and breast care, we have often sought to incorporate audiences of adolescents, young women, boys and men, in order to begin to truly amplify the voice of women and girls’ (reproductive) health and self care, to ensure that we transcend all age groups and gender barriers (Goal #5). Taking into consideration that girls are the emerging women of our world. Today, on World Population Day, it is a great opportunity to reflect on the importance of healthy breasts

Author: Nicole Joseph-Chin - CEO and Breast Care Specialist at Ms. Brafit                                                                Loving Our Breasts   Ms. Brafit Website  Taboo, strange and not talked about, it’s an exceptional experience to hear a woman declare the love she has for her breasts. It’s important to fall in love with our breasts by actions such as keeping them in check, doing self-examinations, observing any changes, wearing proper fitting and comfortable bras, keeping hygienic practices and avoiding compression or scarring due to bras that have been outgrown or bought too small. Heart Warming Breasts are close to the heart and so there must be some extra love shown to this heartwarming body part that also provides sustenance for the newborn. Being Diagnosed The diagnosis of breast cancer can evoke many emotions including fear, anxiety, anger and denial. Support comes from many sources and in a lot of cases; women who are diagnosed and treated only h

Keeping A-Breast and Staying FIT

The debate of what the proper sport bra should look like, still rages on. Discussions abound, yet the solutions seem to be so remote to our comfort. That's because every sport bra has a life of its own and a purpose of its own. So, how do we choose a sport bra? Its not as easy as you think, but its NOT rocket science either. Best suggestion is to set out a time in your schedule for a professional fitting consultation www.msbrafit.com This is critical to making sure that your purchase fits the specific needs for your sporting activity. Do you hike? Do you spin? Do you power walk? Do you jog? Do you do yoga? All these sporting disciplines demand a specific shape of bra because the upper extremities are being used in different ways.

Comfort in the Workplace

This just being Administrative Professionals Week; Ms. Brafit spent some time with some very special women who in many ways project the typical woman in need of comfort. The days of this special week were spent coaching professional women on their most elusive and critical challenge. Comfort from the First Layer. I want to thank the corporate organizations who made this gift possible and saw the significance of sharing such important and life-changing information with their teams. It was very refreshing to spend the week with lovely women. It was equally lovely to share the stage with Grand Dame of Caribbean Fashion; Ms. Claudia Pegus for one of our teams. I want to especially thank my TEAM who supported all the efforts and to especially thank the staff at Ortinola Estates for their hospitality and their lovely space. Women need to understand the priority that comfort should have in their overall approach to "look good" Try wearing any great outfit without the appropria

The Bra You Deserve

Welcome to our blog. Its been a while, but its also been an interesting time and its been compelling to drop a note today especially to reconnect with you. Its also to explore the thoughts that were expressed in a few sessions which we did this week, which started on Tuesday with a local Women's Group who asked us to drop in on their monthly meeting. Thanks Tricia we enjoyed being there. We also congratulate the winner of our prize draw. I was forced to pose this question provoked by the many varied thoughts and pieces of information that sometimes lead us to make bra purchase decisions. Question - " Just when we think we have found the bra that really suits us, what do we discover ?" We get what we deserve and that is even true about bras which we end up with. The question became more pressing based on insights on how often women should replace their bras. What is seldom taken into consideration is not HOW frequently but WHY we should revamp and review our bra clos
