Kush — A Breast and Cancer Awareness Supporter

This may not be something women talk about anywhere but in their diaries, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an issue. Some breasts are heavy, especially when breastfeeding. Inventor Cathinka Chandler has come up with the Kush Support, a clever, effective product for alleviating night-time discomfort that may come from having “tah tahs.” Kush’s anatomically contoured design fits neatly between the breasts and is made of non-slip, lightweight plastic that stays put, even when rolling over, without any straps, adhesives, underwire, or constraints, to help improve a woman’s sleep time.

The Kush Support also has the benefit of reducing the age-defining creases and wrinkles that are inevitable over time with unsupported side sleeping. The Kush Support is beneficial for women with C-cup or larger breasts, side sleepers and post operative patients. It is also helpful for pregnant and nursing women. The Kush Support also claims to improve proper spine alignment.

For Cathinka Chandler, breast health is more than just an idea; she donates a portion of all Kush Support proceeds to breast cancer research and is spreading the word about the Susan G. Komen foundation to raise awareness against breast cancer. In the month of October, anyone who is participating in a Breast Cancer awareness walk is eligible to receive a free breast cancer awareness shirt and goodie bag by contacting 1(888) OWN-KUSH or by e-mailing . Being passionate about breast health became important to Chandler after watching her aunt go through breast cancer treatments and beating the disease. Cathinka wanted to make sure that her design would be beneficial for women, as well as to give back to the research that made it possible for her aunt to survive.

The Kush support comes in small, medium and large, in a variety of colors: chocolate, ebony, eggshell blue, mocha, petal pink, sea foam and lavender, retailing for $24.99. For more information go to www.kushsupport.com.
