The Breast Form FAQ v3.0

http://www.blooberry.com/bformfaq/

"The purpose of this FAQ was originally to provide information about all aspects of breast forms for folks in the Transgendered community who might not otherwise have ready access to this sort of information. People have told me since that this is also a good introductory resource as well for women who are seeking information about breast prostheses after surviving breast cancer. Currently, most of the details in this document relate to complete forms for those without any current breast tissue. Much of the document also centers on silicone breast forms, since that is the primary material used in commercial forms, but information about other types of forms (breast enhancers, thin-shell forms and pads) can also be found here as well."
