THE TOPS
Last updated on January 18, 2009
A FUNDRAISER FOR A CHARITABLE DONATION FOR
As many customers know, plastic tops (bras) are
usually considered as non-medical clothing. Occasionally,
they may be used for medical reasons, for example, while washing the patient
with a sponge during the postoperative recovery following a breast surgery to
avoid making the bandages wet.
We have had many requests for these items in the past, some of which seem
related to attempts to cope with the massive adverse psychological consequences
of incontinence. Some chronically incontinent ladies simply wish the
incontinence pants to look more fashionable (a boost for injured self-esteem)
by using a bra made in a matching material and color as their plastic
pants. Incontinence is indeed a very depressing and emotionally upsetting
factor. Certain intelligent female patients strive to make, as verbalized
by one of our observant customers, "lemonade out of the lemons" as a
means of creative psychological coping with the medical stress.
Briefly, we have many thousands of these tops here in stock. As we are
not organized to sell clothing that some could view as "nonmedical," the sales of these plastic tops are
exclusively to raise funds for a donnation to a
registered charity that supports medical scientific
research on the cure and prevention of cancer, including the breast
cancer. If this goes well, we eventually would like
to expand this to support medical research on
multiple sclerosis, or on urinary incontinence, or cerebral palsy.
Hopefully, this would be beneficial to everybody as almost every human being
fears cancer or already has some relatives or friends who suffer or would
suffer from cancer in the future or have already died from that disease.
The products are listed below.
Delivery:
Those that we can send you immediately are listed in blue color.
Those that can be mailed only with a delay (difficult to predict, but usually
about 2 to 8 weeks) are listed with a red heading.
#15501 - TOPS FOR PLASTIC PANTS
#155 
They
are made in a soft smooth vinyl (100% PVC) in either semitransparent nice
shiny light blue color, or in a semitransparent nice shiny cherry red color, or
in a shiny pearlised pink color, or with a printed
pattern (sleeping babies on a semitransparent milky background).
The elastics are wide and comfortable (the cloth elastics are against the
skin). This is a relatively comfortable (due to the wide elastics), good,
relatively durable, and yet inexpensive garment. These bras match the
material and color of all plastic pants #155 as well as some of the Susan
and Christie pants and Olga pants and also the plastic bloomers # 229,
#230, #231, and #233 and the skirts EX1300 and #445 (those made in cherry red,
sky blue, and pearlised pink vinyl (PVC).
These tops were originally designed and manufactured
for medical use by ladies recovering from breast surgery who may need a
waterproof cover to wear during their sponge bath to protect bandages from
becoming wet. However, we had no large orders for this purpose in the
last year. It should also be emphasized that these protective bras cannot
prevent water from penetrating into the bandage during a careless exposure to
water during a shower or if otherwise immersed into water.

your address separately (not together with any pants or diapers) in a
small padded enveloppe and the postage is already
included in the price. For 
there
is usually no customs duty fee on items declared for such as small amount.
Let us know if you would have a different experience.
Sizes: At this time, we do not have any
internationally viable idea of how to classify the various sizes for the breast
opening, however, as the garment goes all around the chest, it is also
very important to measure the circumference of your chest, just below the
breasts. The same as with the pants #155, most customers would
probably need either large or medium size. The lady on the following
photograph wears a large (L) size bra, please click here: TOPM.JPG
Our available sizes are as follows, please measure the chest
circumference just under the breasts:
Small (S) for chest circumference from 19" to 31" (48 cm to 79 cm)
Medium (M) for chest circumference from 24" to 35" (61 cm to 89
cm),
Large (L) for chest circumference from 25" to 37" (64 cm to 94
cm), and
Extra-Large (XL) for chest circumference from 28" to 49" (71 cm to
126 cm).
Please order at first only one of these tops, in order to avoid disappointments
with a poor fit, as cannot accept any returns and we cannot provide any
re-imbursements.
Price (includes postage): In USA, US $ 13. In
Price per 3 of these (including postage), any combination of
colors and sizes, according to your choice :
In USA, US $ 36. In
These are here in stock in thousands, available for immediate
shipment.
PLEASE REMEMBER
THAT THE MONEY YOU SPEND ON THESE PLASTIC ITEMS will support medical
scientific research on the cure and prevention of cancer, including
the breast cancer.

#004 VINYL TOPS FOR SUSAN,
CHRISTIE, AND OLGA PANTS
We can also make these top garments in
exactly the same materials and colors as listed in our internet catralog for the pants #240 or #140 in plastic, without
problems, i.e., in navy, pink, amber, shiny white, yellow, clear,
or in a printed vinyl (the prints are those as explained for Christie pants and
Susan pants). However, the workforce here in
North-America is expensive and the sewing of that small item takes long
time (this includes the cutting of the material, etc.) as we do not
manufacture it in a mass production style. For this reason, the price is
very high to reflect the labour cost and we only make
them when they are being ordered: there may be delays if you order this item..

There is as yet no cure for MS. The first symptoms of MS usually appear
between the ages of 20 and 40. Some of our clients suffer from MS.

We could also make these rubber tops in the natural rubber (yellowish-khaki),
however, we usually do not recommend this color as the natural yellowish khaki
rubber in our stock often contains small flaws (embedded impurities, tiny holes).
The natural color is similar to the color of our stretchy latex pant, see the
photograph of the pant with a matching top in the natural
rubber: ab00002 ab00001

The profit from sales of these rubber tops (#005) will be used
for financial support of research on the treatment
and prevention of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Please remember, there is as yet no cure for MS. Most patients experience
their first symptoms of MS between the ages of 20 and 40. The first sign
of MS may be a blurred or double vision, red-green color distortion, or even
blindness in one eye. Most MS patients experience weakness in their
muscles, particularly in their legs or arms and have difficulty coordinating
their movement and maintaining balance, at times
to the degree of no longer being able to continue walking or even standing.
In the worst cases, MS produces a partial or complete paralysis.
