October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Australia, a time to reflect, raise awareness, and take action in the fight against one of the most common cancers affecting Australian women.
According to Cancer Australia, breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Australian women, with an estimated 20,128 new cases expected in 2023. Despite these numbers, advancements in research, early detection, and treatment mean that more women are surviving breast cancer than ever before.
At Pliē Australia, we believe in supporting women’s health, not just during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but every day. We understand the physical and emotional journey that breast cancer survivors face and aim to provide products that help them feel comfortable, confident, and empowered.
The Importance of Comfortable, Adaptable Shapewear.
For women who have undergone breast cancer surgery, such as mastectomy or lumpectomy, choosing the right clothing becomes even more critical.
Many women turn to post-surgery bras or prosthetic bras for support. The Emana® Body Braless Medium Shorts is a shapewear solution designed to be worn with any bra, including prosthetic bras, making it an excellent option for women who have undergone breast surgery.
Why Choose the Emana® Body Braless Medium Shorts?
The Emana® fabric incorporates bioactive crystals that improve skin elasticity and stimulate microcirculation, which could be especially beneficial during post-surgery recovery.
The Emana® Body Braless Medium Shorts will seamlessly work with your favourite bra, giving you the freedom to move with confidence and ensures a perfect fit without compromising on comfort.
The fabric provides light compression, helping women feel supported without feeling restricted. Its medium shorts designed for more legs coverage also provides gentle support to the waist, hips, and thighs, making it ideal for everyday wear.
The sleek design offers a smooth silhouette under clothing, helping women feel confident in their own skin, whether they're dressing for a casual day out or a special occasion.
Breast cancer affects women across all age groups, though the risk increases with age. According to Cancer Australia, 1 in 7 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer by the age of 85. Early detection is key to improving survival rates, which is why regular screening and self-examination are so important. Additionally, it’s encouraging to know that the five-year survival rate for women with breast cancer is now 92%, a significant increase over the past few decades, thanks to ongoing research and improved treatment options.
However, the journey doesn’t end at diagnosis and treatment. Survivors often face unique challenges, from physical changes to emotional well-being.
As we observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, let’s celebrate the resilience and strength of women battling breast cancer. Whether you or someone you love has been affected, know that there are products and communities out there to support you.
Let’s continue to raise awareness, support research, and champion the cause of women’s health.
