1. do i need to make an appointment?
It's always a good idea to make an appointment so that we can dedicate the time needed to fit you, especially if it's your very first time. It also means that if we are busy in the store and you didn't have an appointment you would need to wait until one of our qualified fitters became available. Having said that, you are ALWAYS welcome to just pop into the store without an appointment - if we available we will gladly fit you on the spot. If all all fitters are busy you might just need to wait a short while until someone can attend to you.
2. how long does it take?
If it's your very first fitting for bras and breast prosthesis, allow about 45 minutes.
3. will you have my size or will you need to order it?
We have an extensive size range of pocketed bras and breast prosthesis in lots of styles and shapes so in nearly every case you will walk out with you new breast prosthesis and bra - you may even like to wear it home!
4. how much does it cost?

5. will my health fund pay for my bras?
We strongly recommend you ring or visit your health fund prior to coming in and ask them what you are entitled to this calendar year.
6. is there always a qualified fitter in the store?
Yes, at all times.
7. i've just had surgery - how long do i need to wait to be fitted?
6 - 8 weeks is a good guide - It's best to wait until all swelling has gone done so that your fitting is accurate.
