We’re NOT your mother’s breast cancer foundation and this is NOT another boring lecture on how do a breast self-exam. We thrive on empowering you to get to KNOW and understand YOUR body’s NORMAL by giving your girls some TLC. Follow these helpful tips…
Here’s the deal: Do it often. Make it a regular thing, like a routine self-care check-in. Our bodies can be full of changes – thanks to hormones doing their thing. So, don’t hesitate to give your boobies a feel – anytime, anywhere! The more you do it, the more in tune you’ll be with how things usually feel and you’ll sense if something’s funky.
With that said there IS a better time to give them a feel. If you have a menstrual cycle, “feeling your boobies” at the end of menstruation is the BEST time of the month.
We know you’re juggling a lot. Maybe you’re a busy student, working full time and climbing the ladder to your dream job, raising kiddos, or wrangling teens. No matter your stage in life, adding your “Boobie TLC” before or after one of your other daily routines makes it a quick task and forms an easy habit. Try it before or after you do your makeup, brush your teeth, or wash your face.

There’s no wrong way to “feel your boobies” and start to get to “know your normal”. As long as you’re doing it AND doing it as often as possible!
Don’t stop at your boobies—check around your collarbone and in those pesky armpits for any lumps.
Breast cancer is more than just lumps. Make sure you take a good look at the shape of your boobies, your skin and your nipples too.
Check in with yourself every time you “feel your boobies”.
Does everything look and feel like every other day? Any major changes and it’s time to see a doctor.
Trust your gut. If something doesn’t seem right, advocate for your health and press for answers. No changes to report? Great!
We’re proud of you for “feeling your boobies” and identifying that something might not be right. Always trust your gut.
1. Take a breath, finding a lump or noticing any other signs does not automatically mean you have breast cancer. In fact, most lumps are benign (not cancer!) BUT all lumps MUST be checked.
2. Call your primary care provider or locate your nearest health center to schedule an appointment.
3. Be prepared to advocate for yourself. Push for your doctor to take your concerns seriously.

Our resource guide has a more detailed list of signs to look out for.
