grippy CAKES with nips

After having a bilateral mastectomy with concurrent DIEP flap reconstruction where they had to take my nipples, I miss having nipples much more than I thought I would. Having a way to give that “headlights” look for my husband’s enjoyment is a perk for us both. During my revision surgery, I plan on having nipples reconstructed, at which time I’ll use smooth Cakes for the times I need to turn off the “headlights”. Thank you for supporting the confidence of breast cancer survivors.

Product Review for Grippy Cakes
By: Certified Mastectomy and Bra Fitter | World of Pink Foundation
As a certified mastectomy and bra fitter serving thousands of women through the World of Pink Foundation, I am always on the lookout for innovative, non-invasive, and comfortable products that provide both function and confidence to our community. Grippy Cakes has quickly become one of the most versatile and exciting additions to our toolkit—not only for our breast cancer survivors, but for myself, friends, and new moms alike.
Grippy Cakes are lightweight, comfortable, and adaptable. They’ve proven exceptionally effective as modesty covers under athletic wear, fitted fashion tops, and form-hugging dresses. For women who have experienced asymmetrical results after breast surgeries—whether due to radiation, reconstruction complications, or explanation—Grippy Cakes offer a smooth, rounded appearance that helps restore visual balance without adhesives or invasive inserts. Many women prefer to wear their own choice of bra rather than a traditional mastectomy bra, making Grippy Cakes an excellent solution for added comfort and symmetry.
In particular, I’ve found their larger sizes or sizing up to be ideal for correcting slight asymmetries in both unilateral and bilateral cases. They offer a dignified, practical option for women who may feel frustrated by the limited selection of traditional prosthetics or who are not candidates for more structured solutions.
We are actively incorporating Grippy Cakes into our fittings for women across the country—many of whom are unable to access in-person fittings due to closures in the mastectomy garment industry. Thanks to our telehealth model, the World of Pink Foundation continues to serve women from all walks of life, and Grippy Cakes have filled a critical gap in our post-operative care offerings.
I see tremendous potential in expanding the Grippy Cakes line to include modest volume enhancement products—especially for women who are not seeking full prosthetics but need a small amount of contouring. This is a need we consistently identify in our community, and I believe that with continued collaboration, Grippy Cakes could evolve into one of the most sought-after options in breast aftercare and body confidence solutions.
I wholeheartedly recommend Grippy Cakes and look forward to sharing more success stories from our clients, including our new mom’s community, in an upcoming video.

Recommendation Letter
To Whom It May Concern,
As a certified mastectomy and bra fitter working with the World of Pink Foundation—a national nonprofit dedicated to the aftercare of women undergoing all types of breast surgery—I am writing to express my enthusiastic support and recommendation for Grippy Cakes.
Over the years, I have worked with thousands of women seeking solutions for symmetry, comfort, and confidence following various surgical outcomes, including mastectomy, lumpectomy, reconstruction, radiation, and explant. The prosthetic and mastectomy garment industry has seen significant shifts, with many businesses closing and leaving patients with fewer accessible resources. This is why innovations like Grippy Cakes are so crucial—and why they’ve quickly become one of our go-to recommendations.
Grippy Cakes provide a seamless, non-adhesive solution for women dealing with asymmetry and post-surgical sensitivities. The product is especially helpful for clients who cannot tolerate heavy prosthetics or those navigating the complexities of changing breast shape and volume over time. They also serve as wonderful modesty pads for athletic wear and fashion-forward outfits, making them both practical and empowering.
As we continue to expand our national reach through a successful telehealth model, products like Grippy Cakes are integral to helping us serve diverse needs—particularly in remote or underserved areas. We also see incredible opportunities to collaborate on a new line that addresses modest volume restoration, which is a repeated request in our fittings.
We look forward to a future where Grippy Cakes can be integrated into broader aftercare plans for women recovering from not just breast cancer surgeries, but a range of medical and cosmetic breast procedures.
Thank you for creating a product that truly makes a difference. Your work is seen, appreciated, and needed.
Warmest regards,
Christine A. Guarino RDH. CMF.

I commented on an ad about the cakes I purchased for the second time not staying in place due to a scar from breast cancer surgery. Mary was kind enough to send me a larger size and options to try. I’m more than happy to report the largest sticky cake was the one! In that my bi-lateral mastectomy and reconstruction was not nipple or fat sparing, my scars are not transparent and dent in when I use my arms. I don’t need a bra but wear them anyway to lesson the visual beneath my shirts. The sticky cakes work when others didn’t and the larger size I would never have thought to try covers the entire area. I’m back to having full coverage if my scars without the uncomfortable and noticeable (under certain tops) bras. Thank you so much to the Cakes family for helping me with this transition ❤️
