I was having problems with my hospital prosthetic (stuck up with tape in places😢) and getting a new one so I decided to try one and have never regretted it. I had my mastectomy in 1997 so am very fortunate. You can reassure ladies there is life after a mastectomy and at nearly 87 I am grateful. It is so good there is more support now.

Other support items that we provide.

Pressure relief pillows
We have set out to create a multipurpose item to help with the challenges of post surgeries such as heart, mastectomy or any other procedure where it may prove useful.
Often post-surgery, it is helpful to have protection of some kind, to alleviate pressure on the wound while it heals, a relief from additional pressures (eg seatbelts) or as a support/ aid memoir, while remobilising and rehabilitating.

We have tried to create a dual-purpose item that can be future proof and not only provide protection during recovery but also a useful support for a phone, book or I-pad while in hospital / healing.. and beyond.

Please contact us if one of these would help with your recovery.

Drain bags
for surgical wards and individuals

On occasion post surgery, a drain is inserted to remove any build up of fluids. Our drain bags provide a little discretion and a comfortable way to Support the drain bag itself while its in place.

Again, if you feel these could help, please get in touch.

Chemo hats

Like the knockers these are made with 100% cotton yarn to ensure that they are as soft and comfortable as possible on your head, especially if hair is reducing or your head is particularly sensitive.

if you feel that any of the items above would be helpful to you. Please contact us on:

They are great.

Scary at first as they looked Very big, but as you said I did remove some of the stuffing to get them to fit me better.

Please pass on my thanks if u can to Barbara and Caroline who made them.

Much appreciated

I love my Aquaknockers

Dear Oakley Stitchers,

I have just received my aqua knockers.. they are absolutely amazing! Very comfortable.

Thank you so much. The information inside was perfect. I opened it, well,my little boy actually helped open it!

(He loves opening the post with me!) And everything fell out.

The info leaflet I've found today for my aqua knockers is perfect!

Thank you so much again.

Steph

They fit really nicely.

HI Stitchers

Thank you so much. It (the KK) arrived on Saturday and you were right, it was huge!! But I’ve taken lots of the filling out and it’s now fitting really nicely. It’s actually a bit strange to be evenly matched again after such a long time; I think it will take a while to get used to it. But I'm very happy, and grateful for your support. Thank you.

Very best wishes

My new Knockers will improve my body image.

All you kind caring stitchers

Thank you for my knitted knockers which will improve my body image considerably. At the very least my belly will look smaller now my chest looks bigger. All joking aside I was very moved by your parcel of love and good wishes.

To be the recipient of such generosity of spirit moved me and I will be grateful to all you lovely ladies especially you Caroline.

Thank you so much,

A

PERFECT!

Dear Stitchers,

My knocker arrived today and its perfect. Thank you ever so much x

Chris

So emotional receiving my knockers

Hello Caroline and you lovely ladies.

I gave my friend, your lovely knitted knocker. To say she was overwhelmed is an understatement. She was very emotional and extremely grateful for your generous gift.

I haven't seen her since I gave her the booby due to the weather, but she has worn it in her home.

Thank you so much to all you lovely ladies.
