What Makes Swim Forms Different
Did you know that water exercises may help to improve the quality of life for patients with breast cancer? In order to participate in these activities, you need to have the right swimsuit options. At Mastectomy Shop, our swim breast forms are engineered specifically for water activities. Here's what sets them apart:
Waterproof materials keep the form intact even after hours in the pool. We offer lightweight silicone or foam that won't absorb water or break down.
Quick-drying design means you're not stuck with a soggy prosthetic for hours after swimming.
Lightweight construction reduces drag in the water and moves naturally with your body.
Chemical resistance protects against chlorine damage that destroys regular prosthetics.
Choosing the Right Swim Form
Up to 90% of women choose to wear prosthetics after mastectomy, either temporarily or permanently. At Mastectomy Shop, we understand that the perfect swim breast form depends on your activity level and preferences. We've been helping women find the right fit for over three decades, and our certified fitting specialists have extensive experience with water-specific prosthetics.
Foam swim forms: Foam works well for casual swimming and water activities. We carry ultra-lightweight and affordable options from leading manufacturers, but they don't provide the same realistic shape as silicone options. These are perfect for occasional pool visits or vacation swimming.
Silicone swim forms: If you want a more natural appearance and weight distribution, then silicone is a great option. They're a bit pricier but provide better balance in the water, and you'll feel more comfortable during longer swimming sessions. We stock both full and partial silicone options to meet different needs.
Partial swim forms: If you've had a lumpectomy or partial mastectomy, then a partial swim form is the perfect option to consider. These smaller forms help even out your overall silhouette without adding unnecessary bulk. We offer various shapes to complement different body types and swimsuit styles.
Match Your Activity Level
We offer different features to meet your specific needs and activity preferences:
Competitive swimmers need forms that won't shift during flip turns or aggressive strokes. We carry swim forms with textured backs that grip your swimsuit's prosthetic pocket securely. These high-performance options are designed for serious athletes who demand reliability during intensive training sessions.
Casual swimmers have more flexibility and often prefer softer, more comfortable forms over maximum security. We stock gentle silicone options that prioritize comfort for leisurely pool time and relaxed swimming.
Water aerobics participants often choose foam forms for their ultra-light feel and freedom of movement. These allow for full range of motion during exercise routines without feeling weighed down or restricted.
Getting the Right Fit
A well-fitting swimsuit prosthesis stays put during all your water activities. We recommend that the form sit snugly in your mastectomy swimsuit's pocket without creating uncomfortable pressure points.
Size matching matters more when you're in the water. We suggest that your swim form should complement your remaining breast size, especially when the wet fabric is clinging to your body. Start with your regular prosthetic size as a baseline, but many women prefer to size down slightly for their swim forms. Check out our size guide for more information.
Caring for Your Swim Forms
Proper care makes a big difference and extends the life of your swim breast form. At Mastectomy Shop, we recommend these tips to take care of your swimsuit prosthetics:
Rinse with fresh water after every swim to remove chlorine or salt. Even if you have waterproof forms, they will degrade faster with chemical buildup.
Air dry completely before storing. Most swim forms dry within a few hours when laid flat in a ventilated area.
Rotate between forms if you swim regularly. Having two forms allows you to alternate while one dries completely. We don't recommend reusing wet forms over and over again without giving them time to dry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes our swim forms different from regular breast forms?
At Mastectomy Shop, our swim forms are specifically engineered for water exposure. Unlike regular prosthetics, we design them from waterproof materials that resist chlorine, salt water, and heat damage. We also make them lighter to reduce drag in water. One benefit is that they dry quickly after swimming. Regular breast forms can break down or become damaged from repeated water exposure.
Are our swim forms reusable?
Yes, at Mastectomy Shop, our quality swim breast forms are designed for repeated use. With proper care, they can last for years of regular swimming. We find that silicone swim forms typically last longer than foam versions. To maximize their lifespan, we recommend rinsing with fresh water after each use and allowing them to air dry completely before storing.
How do I know if our swim form fits my swimsuit?
At Mastectomy Shop, we recommend that your swimsuit prosthesis fit snugly in your mastectomy swimsuit's built-in pocket without being too tight or loose. The form should stay securely in place during water activities. If you're unsure about fit, our certified fitting specialists can help you choose the right size and style for your specific swimwear and activity needs.
