Breakthrough comments on a new breast self-examination glove which has been launched in the UK.

Sally Greenbrook, Senior Policy Officer at Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said:

“It is so important that women are not misled when it comes to checking their breasts. We do not advocate the use of these gloves and we would like to reassure women that there is no need to spend money on products like these.

“The best way for women to be breast aware is to know their own breasts. It’s as simple as TLC, Touch your breasts, Look for any changes and Check anything unusual out with your doctor.”
