“When you feel your best, and you’re comfortable with yourself, you can
forget yourself.” – Dorothy
 In 2003, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. As you can imagine, I was
devastated, but vowed to keep a positive attitude and survive the cancer. The
illness was challenging enough — but the radiation — the pain was unbearable!
One of the most difficult challenges was staying comfortable after incurring
burns from the ongoing treatment. I couldn't find a bra that didn't chafe and rub.
Drawing upon a lifetime of experience as a designer of women's
clothing, I decided to create a comfortable bra that would be gentle to
my body, and the Gentle-Bra was born.
Although I’m proud of my creation, the most important result for me has been the
thank you notes and calls from women saying they have finally found relief by
wearing my brassiere.
As a breast cancer survivor, my enthusiasm for life has only expanded, and I
consider my experience a great gift. I want to share with other women who may be
suffering as I did, the power of staying positive and never loosing hope. And of
course, offer comfort, even if it’s as simple as Gentle Bra.
"As a physician, I recommend Dorothy's Gentle Bra to my women patients who have any skin
damage on their chest or upper back area, whether due to surgery, radiation, infection, allergies, psoriasis,
sunburn, or similar causes.
In addition, women who are allergic to the synthetic fabrics of most bras can benefit from wearing the Gentle
Bra. It is particularly helpful for women who have yeast infections under their breasts.
I strongly and enthusiastically recommend Dorothy's Gentle Bra. My patients are always grateful. and I'm
delighted to have found this exceptionally well-designed product. I know of nothing else that is comparable." | - Kaaren A. Nichols, MD
