BUBBLE BATH HELPS WOMEN KEEP BREASTS IN CHECK

COLUMBUS, Ohio (Wireless Flash) – A new type of bubble bath is helping women keep their breasts in check. The First BaSE For Women Kit is a kit containing 12 bath gels that women are supposed to use once a month in the shower during their monthly breast exams. The kit adheres to the shower wall with velcro so a woman will be constantly reminded to check her boobs for lumps. Company spokeswoman Kelly McGann says the idea of the breast exam bath gel is that soapy hands are better at detecting potential tumors. Although men are encouraged to remind their female partners to use the gel, McGann doesn’t encourage them to participate in the self-exams because, in her words, “A woman knows her breasts better than anyone else.” However, if the kit is successful, the company may consider offering a similar one for men to check themselves for testicular cancer.
