Breast Health Awareness Month: The Clothing Label That Could Help Save Your Life!

October is not just about pumpkin spice lattes and cozy sweaters; it's also Breast Health Awareness Month! It's a time when we encourage everyone to take a moment to prioritise their breast health and learn how to check themselves for signs of breast cancer. At MAAREE, we are deeply committed to supporting this crucial cause and have been doing so for almost five years.

MAAREE and Our Partnership with CoppaFeel!

MAAREE, a name synonymous with sports bras designed for active women, has a long-standing history of supporting breast health awareness. Since our inception, we have proudly partnered with the charity CoppaFeel!ย in their mission to promote early detection and raise awareness about breast cancer. Our collaboration with CoppaFeel! began almost five years ago when we became part of their #BraHijack campaign.

What is #BraHijack?

MAAREE Coppafeel Bra Hijack BraHijack

The #BraHijack campaign by CoppaFeel! is an innovative initiative that aims to remind women to regularly check their breasts for any signs of cancer. MAAREE actively participates in this campaign by incorporating a handy reminder inside every single sports bra we sell. This reminder comes in the form of a label or sticker, serving as a constant nudge to perform self-examinations. This small gesture can make a big difference in early detection and potentially saving lives.

Why Self-Examination is Crucial

Early detection of breast cancer is essential for successful treatment and improved outcomes. Regular self-examinations are a vital part of breast health awareness. By knowing how to check your breasts for cancer, you can identify any unusual changes or lumps early on, allowing for prompt medical attention if needed.

How to Check Your Boobs for Cancer

If you're unsure about how to perform a breast self-exam, don't worry; we've got you covered. In our upcoming blog post, we will provide a detailed guide on how to check your breasts for cancer. We'll provide you with all the tools you need, making it easy for you to incorporate regular self-examinations into your routine. Stay tuned for this informative post!
