Shine On – The Breastlight

I spotted this recently on Shinyshiny.tv and thought it was a wondrous new product!

The breastlight is a new gadget that allows women to pass or shine a red light on and through their breast tissue to get an idea of what’s normal and what might be a new or worrisome mass.

Since it works pretty much like flashlight there is no invasiveness or pain and it seems like a flawless way to regularly do a self breast exam.

Commercially it’s only available in Europe and Canada right now but the Breastlight is currently under review by FDA for the US market. I hope it passes scrutiny because it seems like the perfect gadget for any woman in your life.
