My daughter in law posted the link. I have so many complaints about the bras available with pockets. The straps are huge and orthopedic. The cups come up to my neck. I’m a mature women, I don’t want perky. What a great idea, thank you!!
I am a breast cancer survivor. I’ve always hated my prosthetic, they are just too darn heavy and even with cooling gel built in, they are too hot. A friend suggested a site to me for knitted knockers out of Bellingham. They are so lightweight and comfortable! I think other survivors would love them.
My confidence level increased immediately! I look and feel normal. I haven’t felt this way in years!
Just wanted to say this is so wonderful of a thing to do! I just had a mastecomy this Feburary. Not the easiest experiece to go through. (Still going through it) These would help me so much going to church and out in public (I too am using socks) so embarrassing! Bless this organization and hoping to get a pair! Thank you!
Hi my name is Danielle and my mom has breast cancer… She had a mastectomy in October and a few weeks later we got the news that the cancer has grown to stage 4 bone cancer throughout her body! My mom a few weeks ago finally got a prosthetic to put in her bra and she hates it not only is it heavy but it’s hot and uncomfortable for her. I would love to get one of these knitted knockers for her because she has been very depressed lately and I think this will cheer her up! Thank u for creating these knitted knockers it is an amazing concept!! Hope to hear from u soon.
The only reason I have any boobs at all is thanks to Knitted Knockers! I decided against reconstruction (for better or worse) at the time of my double mastectomy, but because of lots of pain and discomfort (due to nerve cells regenerating and other issues), I am unable to wear typical forms. I spent a couple of years not wearing anything but my body image deteriorated rapidly and I hated not being able to wear a lot of my clothes, especially to work. Then along came my Knitted Knockers (which I heard about via Face Book). I am up to wearing them 4 days a week for the majority of the day (“Casual Friday” has a whole new meaning now) and I can wear all my clothes again!!! So thank-you from the bottom of my heart to everyone involved in anything Knitted Knockers because you are truly impacting the lives of many survivors. 🙂
I was thrilled to see these. I had a bilateral mastectomy and did not want to reconstruct using implants and could not get a doctor to agree to reconstruct using my own tissue and building very small breasts. I didn’t even mind if it were flat. I just didn’t want to be sunk in on one side. I was left with a very uneven looking chest wall. My son is now 14 and is having problems with kids at school saying his mom is a man because my hair is short and I have no breasts. I do have a pair of prosthetic breasts but they are hot, heavy and do not feel natural so I do not use them. Most days I don’t mind being flat because I am alive. But there are some times where it would be nice to have a little shape. Your knitted knockers might just be the answer.
Heard about Knitted Knockers at my breast cancer support group in Olympia on 2/4/2014. Very anxious to get mine as will be so nice to not have the heavy prosthesis.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in May of 2013. I was then found to have the BRCA2 gene mutation. I lost both my parents to cancer, so I chose to have a bilateral mastectomy. I did not want any reconstruction, the prosthetics are too uncomfortable. I have been using sports bras and adding some extra pads into them. They just don’t look right. I would love to try the knitted knockers! I would also like to say thank you wonderful women for doing this! It means so much to me, I really thought I would just have to keep struggling along with my way. Can’t wait to try my knitted ones! Many, many thanks to all!! 2/4/15 Arkansas
When I visited my doctor for 3 month check up I was telling him how heavy the silicone prosthetics and expensive and he told me to contact knitters knockers.
Hello! I would absolutely love a pink pair of knitted knockers. I was diagnosed with stage 3 triple negative breast cancer at the age of 23. After a mastectomy, chemo, and radiation I’m proud to say I’m now 27 and 3.5 years out from diagnosis. Dealing with my diagnosis and now “life after cancer” at such a young age has had it’s challenges. Putting a pink pair on would give me that extra boost of confidence needed on most days to feel, well, like I’m enough. The service you provide is one that is in a class all it’s own. Thank you for so selflessly committing your hearts, your talents, your time, and your stories to help fill the void so many women are trying tirelessly to themselves. May God bless each and every one of you in the most profound way!
I’m excited to try the knitted knockers, I’ve got the heavy, uncomfortable prosthetics but have chosen not to wear them because they are so uncomfortable. I still want that “girly” look but being so con-cave it is hard. I’m so excited, THANK YOU for giving me hope again.
