As Kim Fellner says, “Who knew it would be so hard to find a new boob?” It wasn’t information she was eager to have, but she didn’t have a choice.
In “The Truth about falsies,” Kim takes us on her trip to find her replacement: online, the paucity of shops, and finally someone who came to her home and made the choices easy. And she lived in DC, where you’d think there would be plenty of options.
As someone who’s been involved in women’s health for a lifetime, it’s amazing to me women still have to search like she did…but here we are. Many thanks to her for journaling her search, talking about it so openly (and with a sense of humor), to make it easier for those of us who follow her.
