Proper Breast Etiquette: Feel It on the First
If you’ve ever wondered what “proper breast etiquette” looks like, it’s not pearls, posture, or perfect bras. It’s something far more important — the monthly ritual of the breast self-exam.
The Ritual of the Self-Exam
Once a month, take a few quiet minutes to get familiar with your body. The goal isn’t to hunt down something scary, but rather to notice what’s normal for you — so you can spot anything that feels not normal.
Use the pads of your fingers to gently move in circular motions across the entire breast and up into the armpit.
Check for lumps, bumps, or unusual thickening.
Don’t forget your nipples — look for changes in shape, color, discharge, or new inversion.
Repeat the process lying down and standing up (sometimes things feel different in different positions).
Why It Matters
While most breast changes aren’t cancer, early detection can save your life. A quick monthly check makes you the expert of your own body. You’ll notice subtle changes long before anyone else — and that’s powerful.
