Benefits

The Sensifemme glove is a device for breast self-examination, manufactured from pharmaceutical-grade materials arranged in such a way that, when used, it significantly increases sensitivity to touch and, through a simple, hygienic and effective method, allows the breast tissue to be felt more clearly.

Breast self-examination is a technique involving self-palpation and visual inspection that every woman should carry out monthly to detect any abnormalities or changes in her breasts.
This self-examination is particularly important for the early detection of breast cancer. Any changes noticed in the breasts should be discussed with a specialist.

Practising breast self-examination using a glove

Steps for carrying out self-exploration

Performing a breast self-examination whilst wearing a glove requires carefully following certain steps. These include visually inspecting and feeling each breast in different positions and using varying levels of pressure, moving in circular motions from the outer area towards the nipple.

• Visually examine both breasts in front of a mirror, holding your arms in different positions, to check for any changes in shape or skin.
• Feel each breast with the glove, using gentle but firm pressure, systematically covering the whole area, from the armpit towards the nipple and back again.
• Use your fingers to make circular movements to check for lumps, changes in texture or any unusual swellings.

Recommended frequency

To ensure early and effective detection, it is recommended that you carry out a breast self-examination whilst wearing a glove once a month. This monthly routine allows you to become familiar with the normal texture of your breasts and detect any changes at an early stage, which helps to improve the effectiveness of detecting abnormalities.

Complementarity with medical check-ups

Breast self-examination using a glove is not a substitute for regular medical check-ups with a healthcare professional, so it is essential to continue attending these appointments regularly. However, this complementary practice can help to detect changes between visits, making it a valuable tool for self-care and the prevention of breast cancer.

Raising awareness of breast health

Promoting the early detection of breast cancer is essential to ensure better prognoses and effective treatments. Raising awareness of the importance of breast self-examination in preventing this disease is key to disseminating information and educating women.

Impact on breast cancer awareness

Awareness of breast cancer is crucial for promoting prevention and early diagnosis of the disease. Raising awareness of risk factors, symptoms and the importance of regular screening can save lives.

The breast self-examination glove plays a vital role in promoting breast health by facilitating and improving the quality of self-examinations.
