  It's easy to be breast aware and there's no special technique. Simply get to know what is normal for you by looking and feeling for changes and try and do this at the same time each month as your breasts will change depending on where you are in your cycle.

  How to check your breasts

  • Has the size, shape or appearance of your breasts changed?
  • Feel all of your breast tissue from the collar bone to below your bra line and under your armpits. You can do this in front of the mirror, in the shower or lying down. Whatver workds best for you.
  • Feel near the surface and and then deeper in the breast using the flat part of the pads of your fingers.
  • That's it, you're all done!
