Touch. Look. Check.

Isn’t it time you take your breasts into your own hands?

Go ahead, cop a feel.

It’s as easy as T.L.C.
TOUCH your breasts. Feel anything unusual?
LOOK for changes. Be aware of their shape or texture.
CHECK anything unusual with your doctor.

Nobody can show your breasts T.L.C. like you can.

Do it in the shower, in front of the mirror, in bed…standing up, lying down, whatever works for you. And don’t worry about doing it right. However you do it is right. Just be sure to do it regularly and check the whole breast area, including your upper chest and armpits.

Finding something unusual is reason enough to check in with your doctor, but keep in mind that changes in your breasts are often part of a healthy life cycle. Most lumps, even big or painful ones, are harmless. So be on the lookout, but stay cool.
