Boob fail

[HollyGreene]

I put my hand into my bra to adjust one of my forms.
Eeeuw! Sticky mess.
It had burst, and sticky silicone goo was now oozing out.

It's a bit like that slime stuff you play with as kids, and it will come off clothes and skin fairly easily, but I could have done without that.

It was an old, smaller form that I use with some of my older, padded bras, so no big deal.

Fortunately I wasn't anywhere public at the time.

[Wyomingal1]

That sounds tragic. Luckily for you you were not out in public.
Hugs and kisses

Holly, that is awful.

[Keely]

Yuck, what a mess. Haven't had that happen, yet.

[krissy]

be glad it wasn't a water balloon lol. it happened to me too my nail got it

[JustJoni]

Yikes!! Hope the silicone doesn't stain your outfit...:sad:

If there is some sort of stain, I found long go that some unset stains (i.e. before they go through the dryer), can be removed by soaking the garment in a sink of cool water into which you dissolve a tablespoon of the cream-style hand cleaner (like Goop). Don't use the hand cleaner with an orange smell, or any sort of abrasive. Let it soak for a bit, maybe even agitate the fabric, and then rinse and wash normally afterwards. It smells kinda chemical-ish until after laundering, but I've seen it even get out dried house paint.

Well they do wear out eventually. Sounds like time for an upgrade Hon. :battingeyelashes::)

[Krisi]

Have you been sleeping in your forms? Wearing a too tight bra or top? Were these "good" forms or something made in China and purchased from an eBay vendor?

My expensive forms began to split and I replaced them but I got four years of wearing them a few hours per day for perhaps 250 days per year so I think I got my money's worth. They didn't leak like you described and were actually still wearable but I could tell their time was about up.

BTW: What do you do with used boobs? Take them to Goodwill? A hazardous waste dump? Is there a market for recycled silicone?

[IamWren]

Wow, that's really weird. I didn't think that could happen. I guess because my forms (and I have two pair) seem more... i don't know, solid? Like if they split or got cut it would just be two solid pieces like a gummy bear and not a sack that holds a fluid like substance. Hm... not that I'm going to cut into mine but I wonder now what's inside.

[Sallee]

What a surprise. I had a water balloon boob start to leak once could figure out why I was getting wet Luckly I was near home

[Miss Daisy]

I better not drive over those speed humps to fast again...:)

[dolovewell]

I had a pair of forms burst on me one time(thankfully it was when I had dropped one on the floor, not when wearing it)

For this reason I treat them like a water balloon or an egg, extremely fragile.

[Maria 60]

Once I went to a friends birthday party and I packed a bag so knowing when I left it was going to be late I could drive around alittle in the dark. It was a cold night and I'm still at the water balloon stage boobs, so when I got changed in my car and the last thing I had to do was insert the balloons I guess the coldness make them week, as soon as I put the balloon in the bra it bursted and wet all my cloths. Well let's just say the night ended early and then my daughter had friends over and I couldn't bring my stuff in. The next morning the cloths were all frozen together. I'd say you got off pretty easy.

[Babbs]

I stepped on the edge of one of my forms...slight leakage but I bandaged and taped it up. $230 is a lot to spend! Treat like they are water balloons. btw before i got my forms water balloons were my choice of boobage. wore them to bed one night and one burst in the bed, lol

[phylis anne]

even more important ladies ------ be glad you did not have a b/a an one of them ruptured internally

[Jenara]

My first pair of forms burst overnight while I was sleeping in them. Woke up all sticky and the wife had to help me clean up a bit because it was tough to get the silicone off my body. It was my Birthday too haha.

Yeah I shouldn't have been sleeping in them but it feels so good.

[chelyann]

i have 1 pair that i sleep in for the last 4 years and no problems .
i have another little smaller pair the i work in every day no problems (welding ,heavy equipment repair)
they are all AMONEA

[docrobbysherry]

I'm sorry that happened to u, Holly. But, old fashioned silicone forms that r filled with any kind of goo r obsolete. Eventually, they will all crack, peel, leak, or burst. :doh:

I use the next generation silicone forms which r solid medical grade silicone with no covering and no filling. Mine r soft and jiggly, yet they will never crack, leak, or burst. I treat mine kind of rough and have put small tears in a few pairs. If I care about the tears I have easily glued them shut with silicone glue. These forms have been available for over 5 years and r now sold on many sites. They start at $125, but they'll last a life time!:thumbsup:

Google, femskin.com where I bought mine!:daydreaming:

[Judy-Somthing]

Thirty years ago forms cost about two weeks pay and not easy to get so I used water balloons, and when they popped your whole outfit got wet.
And one day after my slip got soaked I hung it on the steam radiator to dry and forgot about it! Later my wife came home and changed in that room but didn't notice it! Close call!

[sherlynn]

I had one fail on me too while I was at home. Most breast forms will require some care and delicate handling. My last pair has lasted me 3 years and is still going strong.

[StacyCD]

Despite being advised not to, I have worn my forms to bed for nearly ten years. Just recently one has developed a tear and I had to replaced. I can live with a ten year life span for forms wearing them to bed every night!

[HollyGreene]

The forms were about 5 years old and I've had a LOT of use out of them. They were not a cheap Chinese set, but ones made by Softleaves.
The silcone goo came off quite easily, and didn't stain.
I have slept in them several times before as I always sleep on my back, so no danger of them getting squashed. I never wear a bra that is too tight, so that wasn't the cause.
I think they just reached the end of their useful life.

No big deal. No embarrassment. No damage done.

[Beverley Sims]

Been through many failures over the years but I did fall flat on my chest?????? once and burst both inserts.

They saved me from a bad injury and I was able to get up and repair the damage with plastic wrap until I got home.

I did have a crinkly sound every time I brushed up against someone and those that were in the know went around all night trying to cop a feel.....

Yes, most of them were women.... They're the worst.:-)
