How to Check your Breasts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LOOK

Stand in front of a mirror with your arms relaxed, then raised.

Check visually for any changes in shape, size, skin or nipples.

​

 FEEL

Apply a small amount of NALUVA cream to your fingertips.

Using gentle circular motions, check each breast from collarbone to underarm.

Use light pressure first, then deeper pressure.

NALUVA cream helps reduce skin drag, allowing your hands to glide more smoothly and making checking feel easier and more comfortable.

Look for any discharge, pain or changes in this area.

​
