Janis’ Story
I am a professional mastectomy fitter. I have been fitting women with breast prostheses since 1996. I have listened to and heard their complaints, I have seen their frustration, and their efforts to be complete again in their bodies.
These women have the desire to look natural in their clothing and to feel comfortable at the same time. Some may achieve this for a while, but then their form begins to feel heavy, hot and down right uncomfortable.
I’ve tried everything at my disposal and came to the conclusion that there had to be something better. It took more than five years of experimenting, but we finally came up with the Jillianna breast form.
The patented Jillianna breast form is composed of springy cluster fiber fill and a mix of caviar micro beads inside a truly soft pouch. The 100% cotton against a woman’s skin is so soft.
The bead mixture actually moves around over and under each other so as to fall into the natural contours that are unique to each and every woman. At the same time, a bit of massaging action takes place.

The Jillianna form moves in these contours of the chest wall with the woman’s natural body movements. Instead of just lying on the chest, it really feels at one with your body and most often it takes on the shape of the other breast.
Air circulates throughout the form while it moves with your body. This aids in keeping your body cooler and dryer. This is especially important during those hot summer months or during hot flashes.
At last, I feel confident in showing this form and trying it on the ladies who come to me. It makes me happy to help women look and feel their best!
