Women supporting women
MAAREE has always been about women supporting women. Breast cancer now affects almost everyone we know, directly or through someone close to us. So this October we are doing two things to show our support.
One: checking earlySupporting CoppaFeel!
CoppaFeel! do brilliant work educating people on the signs of breast cancer and how to check their chest, so any changes are caught early. 10% of every Hot Pink Solidarity and Hot Pink Uplift we sell this month goes to them.

Two: life after breast cancerWith Boost breast forms
For the 920,000 people in the UK living with or beyond a breast cancer diagnosis, we are working with Boost to talk about what happens after breast cancer. Our fitters can now size you for a Boost breast form on the same call as your bra, free.
About breast forms ›10% of the sale price of each pink Solidarity High-Impact Sports Bra and 10% of the sale price of each pink Uplift Crew Neck Sports Bra will be donated to CoppaFeel!, a registered charity (numbers 1132366 and SC045970). Overall, the donation is expected to be at least £2,500.
Life after breast surgery
Research with 432 women living life after breast cancer found that bra discomfort during exercise was linked to them not reaching the minimum recommended level of exercise.
Gho et al., Supportive Care in Cancer, 2014 (Australia)A well-fitted bra and the right form can make getting back to running, the gym or your team a lot more comfortable. So this month our fitters have trained with Boost to size you for both.
What is a breast form?

Good to know

No. The fitting is free and there is no obligation to buy anything, from us or from Boost.
Can I buy the form from MAAREE?
Forms are sold by Boost. Your fitter will give you your size and the link.
Will it change my sports bra size?
No. We size your bra the same way as always.
Is the scrunchie part of the donation?
No. The scrunchie is a free gift with every Hot Pink bra order. The 10% donation comes from the Hot Pink Solidarity and Hot Pink Uplift bras. You can still buy a scrunchie on its own, but that sale is not part of the donation.
