While Live Well America was at Curves in Pawleys Island for a Breast Cancer Awareness event we tested a fabulous Breast Self Exam (BSE) pad. It made a single grain of sugar stand out to the touch as distinctly as if it were a marble – extremely important for early detection of masts or bumps in the breast.
Here’s a bit about the Liv Aid BSE pad found on Curves Website.
Australian singer and 4-time Grammy winner Olivia Newton-John, a breast cancer survivor, is the inspiration behind the Liv Aid. The design reflects the heart-shaped dot in the “i” in her signature, and she chose the colors—purple (also Curves’ signature color) and hot pink. Olivia found a lump through BSE seventeen years ago, and she credits the fact that through early self-detection, she quite possibly saved her own life. Her dream is that every woman in the world will get a Liv Aid and begin performing regular BSE between annual mammograms and doctor check-ups.
There are other BSE pads, but none are of as exceptional quality as the Liv Aid. Made of soft, flexible components, the Liv Aid has no sharp or rough edges. It’s designed to make BSE more comfortable and convenient.
You can get the Curves-branded Liv Aid and promotional offer are available exclusively through participating Curves locations. In 2009, for every Liv Aid sold, they’ll give one to a woman who can’t afford one.
