We have switched the forum back on - but we are still in testing phase, so please be patient with us. The forum may be slow initially but should speed up soon. If you spot any technical errors, post them in the technical issues section towards the bottom of the forum. We'll be working hard to get everything working perfectly as soon as we can.

Just wanted to make sure I have all the facts because I work in women's health and I just know someone is going to ask me for all the background info - my co-workers are a curious bunch!

Thanks WorkingClassMum
so far as I understand - it's more under the breast and upto the armpit - I didn't ask for too many details.

Also, if the women have ever have a bra - it's generally only ever one at a time - the bra just gets worn and worn, or it's only ever worn when the get dressed up for best wear.

Libby says the best treatment method so far seems to be to encourage the wearing of bra's, but their poverty means that it's just not that simple.

Ok, that makes sense. Didn't mean to make you uncomfortable by going into all the gory details - but I was genuinely interested and I'm sure my co-workers will be!

Thanks again

The assistant at Mothers Direct mentioned this cause when I bought new maternity bras a while back but I never found out where to send the old ones to. I've just gone through my drawer and only have a few but will pack them up and send them off to you tomorrow.

WCM will you do another shipment in a few months if you get more bras? Cause I will probably have some, but only once I get the energy to go through my boxes.... so not happening in a hurry

We are collecting till mid November and the shipping at the end of November (maybe delayed with current political crisi)

Then we are hoping to repeat this in early 2010
