Product Description

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month

In the U.S. 12.68% of all women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, with 33% eventually losing their battle with the disease.

Thanks to the technology available to us, there are more and more effect ways to treat breast cancer. However, you can’t treat the disease if you’re not aware that it’s there. Being proactive, keeping up with monthly self exams and paying attention for unusual lumps or discharge can lead to breast cancer being caught early, giving you a greater chance of survival. While it isn’t guaranteed, the odds are in your favor that you will get to live a long and healthy life. The rise in breast cancer has been dramatic. In 1960, 1 in 20 women were diagnosed with breast cancer,that number has sky rocketed, up to every 1 in 8 women today.

The American Cancer Society's most recent estimates for breast cancer in the United States are for 2011:

About 230,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer in women
About 39,520 deaths from breast cancer (women)

Whilst the majority of the cases were in people over the age of 45, tragically the number of women under 40 diagnosed with breast cancer continues to rise. A crucial first step towards detection is to make monthly self exams a priority, along with a yearly doctor’s visit and after 40 get an annual mammogram. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, don’t hesitate to get it checked out. The sooner you do, the sooner treatment (if needed) can begin. For those whose breast cancer is detected in the early stages the survival rate is increasing every year and is currently around 96%, Right now there are more than 2½ million breast cancer survivors in the United States.

How do they stay up?

Much the same way socks stay up! The cuff at the top of the sleeves is slightly narrower than the rest of the Sleeve.
This part fits snugly on the narrowest part of the arm just above the bicep which also helps to stop the Sleeve slithering, djutable button loop allows for additional tightening on upper arm band.
From time to time you will probably have to adjust the Sleevez to ensure continued coverage as they may move slightly with strenuous exercise

Compare to a regular white T shirt which gives only 10-15 spf, & is reduced to only 5 SPF when wet, Sunny Sleevez provide continuous 50+ UPF/SPF

Sizing

To get the best fit for your sleeves, measure around the narrowest part of your upper arm above the bicep.

Divide this number by 2 to get the width (see chart below).

Chose the width that is 1-2 inches smaller as sleeves are very stetchy. Over time, with regular use Sleeves may relax a little.

All S, M, 0 ,1, 2, 3, Sleeves now have a loop and button feature which can be used to make sleeves up to 1 inch tighter on the upper arm.

Skate style sleeves end at the wrist & do not have the top-of-hand cover
