The Liv Kit

As most women know, October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. But men, don't dismiss this post so soon. There's information at the bottom for you, too.

I'm sure there's oodles of blogs posting about this right now, but I'd just like to mention something I've learned about & may purchase. It's called The Liv Kit & is named after Olivia Newton-John. What I like about this kit, it includes a glove for breast examinations. It's supposed to be equivalent to a magnifying glass, thus making any lumps easier to feel. The glove is made of soft, latex-free polyurethane and filled with a non-toxic lubricant. If you click here, you should be directed to a site that gives all the stores you can purchase it at. Target sells the Liv Kit for $19.99.

If you live in the UK & want to order one, click here for a website in your country.

And men, do you know that breastcancer.org states that approximately 1,200 new cases of men with breast cancer are diagnosed annually? If you have questions about male breast cancer, click here.

Breast cancer is highly curable if caught in the early stages. Early detection is the key to doing just that.
