What is the pillow Pillow Positive?
The pillow positive is a soft heart-shaped pillow designed as an aid for women who have undergone a surgery, treating breast cancer.
What is the appropriate stage for pillow use?
Heart pillows given to women in the very first post-operative stage, directly help to expedite their recovery.
Why is the heart shape so unique?
The shape of the pillow allows women to keep it below the arm, alleviating pain, help to reduce swelling and protecting the intersection. Support is very important since it has been reported by approved doctors that decreases the use of painkillers and improves the psychology of patients.
