Remamma
Origin and meaning of Remamma
Remamma is a non-profit professional lingerie service provided by Wacoal, specifically designed for women who have undergone breast surgery.
The service includes pads, specialized lingerie products, and swimwear collections, along with one-on-one professional consultation.
With Wacoal's years of experience in human science research and a commitment to thoughtful service, Remamma offers intimate care to every woman, helping those who have undergone breast surgery regain their beauty and confidence.
"RE" is derived from English words such as "Return" and "Refresh", meaning "again" or "to go back". It also carries the connotation of rebirth and revival.
"MAMMA" is a Latin term used in medical contexts, meaning "breast".
Therefore, Remamma conveys the idea of "regaining beautiful breasts once again", and also expresses the hope of experiencing the joy of renewed vitality.
Wacoal Hong Kong Company Limited launched this service in 2005. It is designed to help breast cancer recovery patients regain confidence. The service is exclusively available at the Wacoal Remamma Service Center to ensure privacy and provide the best fitting experience.
Those in need may be referred through hospitals, patient organizations, or medical professionals to schedule a personalized fitting appointment and purchase suitable pads and specialized lingerie products.
According to the "Wacoal Pink Project Survey*", most breast cancer recovery patients believe that breast prostheses are very important to them.
- After using breast prostheses, 90% of recovery patients no longer mind how others look at them.
- 85% of recovery patients feel they can regain their previous body shape, maintain physical balance, and avoid external impact.
- Over 60% of breast cancer recovery patients believe that not wearing a properly fitted prosthesis affects their posture, appearance, and physical balance.
Based on the personal experiences of survey respondents, a well-fitting breast prosthesis plays a crucial role in supporting both the physical and emotional well-being of breast cancer recovery patients.
Physically
- Helps maintain body balance and reduces stiffness and discomfort in muscles and joints.
- Protects the body from external impact.
- In the long term, wearing a suitable prosthesis can prevent issues such as shoulder imbalance and spinal scoliosis.
Mentally
- Using a breast prosthesis helps recovery patients regain their previous body shape, rebuild confidence, feel less self-conscious, and maintain normal social activities.
First, choose the shape of the breast prosthesis based on the scope and condition of the surgery.
Then, select the appropriate weight to help maintain body balance and proper posture.
Finally, consider factors such as how it pairs with outerwear.
Since the prosthesis will take on the important role of replacing the breast, the most important part of the selection process is trying it on to confirm both comfort and appearance.
Professional consultants will provide detailed one-on-one fitting and consultation services, taking into account each individual's lifestyle and preferences.
They will guide customers through the fitting experience, explain the features of each product clearly, and ensure peace of mind in wearing the prosthesis.
