Homemade gel breast forms

[Mikaela]

For $30!

I did it. I wanted to see if this was possible. 3 packs of gel style exercise squeeze balls from Walmart are $10 each.

Pick a porcelain bowl that is the shape you want. Line it aluminum foil. Use scissors to clip the gel balls apart Into small chunks. They aren't liquid filled. They're solid gel. I cut 4.5 apart into each bowl to keep things even.

Use a heat gun on full blast to slowly melt down the gel. It took about 10 minutes on each bowl to get a full melt. DO THIS OUTSIDE!!! The mixture will smoke and the bowls will be HOT. Don breathe in the fumes.

Once everything is fully melted, put the bowls in a freezer until it cools. Mine easily came out of the foil. I then wrapped them in plastic wrap. Work out PERFECT under clothes. Have decent weight and good live feel.

As always, use common sense and be careful.

good for you, hope they will hold up.

[Michelle Diane]

What a good idea, hope they work out for you.

[Davita]

Maybe some one needs to market them, hint hint, Mikaela. Undercut China (sorry to any Chinese girls we have here).

Patent the idea (the intellectual property); if nothing else, that can be sold later.

Neat idea

Think it be possible to get the curve of natural boob I already have?

[Eileen (SO)]

Boobies aren't bowl shaped. Neat idea anyway, Mikaela, and less expensive than forms. What size bowl did you use? How many quarts equal each cup size?
Just having a bit of fun there.

Since these are hot and smelly, wouldn't cooling at room temperature be better? I wouldn't like my ice cream picking up an odor from hot gel. Does the foil leave little wrinkles on the surface?
And why wrap in plastic? Hubby uses the thigh section of old panty hose to wrap her forms, keeps chest sweat from sticking.

I have no idea about any of this, that sounds like a neat idea but dangerous with the toxic fumes and all. Wouldn't it be better to just buy some liquid silicone and use that to make your breast forms? As I said I have no experience with this but I know a guy who uses that to make molds for other things.

[Tanya]

Sounds a good idea and will have to try this

[DanielleM]

How large did these come out? Just curious what cup size resulted from your experiment.

[Diana Michelle]

Pick a porcelain bowl that is the shape you want.

What kind of a bowl did you use? Personally I have never seen a bowl, porcelain or otherwise, shaped like a breast,

[Mikaela]

I'm a B and these filled a D. I used a deep soup bowl. No, they're not perfect, but the also only cost $30.

The freezer I cooled them in was empty. And yes, like I said do this out side, the fumes can be a bit smoky. You don't wanna breathe it in.

I wrapped them first in plastic wrap, ten in a sock for comfort. They are clearly only to work in something full coverage. Real cleavage just doesn't happen with these based on the construction.

But they feel great under clothing.

[Eileen (SO)]

OK, Mikaela. Definitely better than bird seed, water balloons, or expensive forms.
Kudos for your inventiveness.

That's awesome can it be poured into a mold

I suppose if you got the mix liquid enough. I never got it to be super liquidy. Just soft enough to take the form of the bowl. That might require a lot of heat.
