12.01.2022 The heat has arrived and we are all cooling off in the pool, Figgers has a great range of swimsuits suitable for mastectomy. Great styles & colours available now

12.01.2022 A wonderful turn out today in Mossman. A huge thank you to the ladies from Pink in the Tropics providing morning tea and a wonderful venue. My poor little car is full

09.01.2022 It’s wonderful to receive feedback from Figgers’ customers & this made my day A big thank you for contacting me about issues rather than just leaving me on hold as one business did recently when the item was not in stock. It was only that I contacted them as no change to the order status has occurred in 4 days that they even bothered to let me know. You folk are brilliant at keeping online customers informed if there are issues which is why I keep coming back to you.... I couldn't recommend you folk highly enough with your fast and efficient service that you provide. Once again. Many thanks Elizabeth

09.01.2022 FIGGERS NEWSFLASH The wonderful Elaine is heading off on new adventures taking her away from Figgers Townsville in February. We thank you Elaine for the wonderful service, kindness and compassion you have shown to our Figgers ladies and your smiling face will be sorely missed by all. A huge hug goes out to you from all of those who have worked with you over the years, great memories to treasure. Bon voyage Elaine and happy travels, I am sure we will see you again in the... near future Filling Elaine’s big shoes is the lovely Rhi. Rhi is young and eager to work at Figgers again after having a family, and comes with a lot of experience and knowledge. Welcome Rhi A message from Elaine: Time to start a new chapter.... I have worked at Figgers for the past 17 years and enjoyed every aspect of the business especially the part of helping ladies after breast cancer. Its been very rewarding to see you all walk out the door feeling and looking so good. Many of you are like friends and I enjoy catching up when you visit. My new chapter takes me to Innisfail to be with my husband who has been working up there for the past 16 months. I hope to come and offer relief to Rhi the lovely lady taking over from me when I can but for now I must say goodbye. I take many wonderful memories, stories and experiences with me and will always value the knowledge and expertise I have gained working for this company. I thank my employer Alison for the trust she has given to me to manage Figgers with a free hand and open heart. I will miss my shop life and all associated with it but hope to find some employment in Innisfail to keep me out of trouble. So until our paths cross again, stay healthy and happy....it costs nothing to smile. Stay tuned for my next chapter..... Elaine

07.01.2022 Townsville Hospital breast care nurses accepted a generous donation from the Ville Vixens Incorporated. motorcycle club this month to help women who have had ...breast surgery buy a new bra The donation of $1,500 of gift vouchers for Townsville bra and mastectomy fitting specialists Figgers will help relieve the burden on women who now need to buy new bras after their surgery. Ville Vixens vice president Karen ‘Menace’ Holmes said the club’s main priorities were supporting people with breast and prostate cancer. One of our ladies in the club, Daph, works at the hospital in oncology and has a good idea of what ladies with breast cancer need and we thought the vouchers were a great idea, she said. One of our ladies, Glenis 'Gidge’ Charleston, also went through breast cancer and will get the breast reconstruction so we rallied around her and this donation is just part of that. Breast care nurse Sandra Roberts said getting a properly fitted bra after a mastectomy could restore part of a woman’s self-identity. It has the ability to complete their journey, she said. Even ordinary bras are very expensive and specialised bras for women who have had breast cancer are even more so as some of them have prosthetics as part of the bra which impacts the cost. At the end of the day, it is important that women get fitted properly even if they haven’t had a mastectomy and have had some other type of breast-conserving surgery because it is an important part of their journey to wellness. Any type of cancer can come at great cost and even though the public system looks after people, there is always the cost of medications, child care, time off work, bras and things people don’t think of. It is because of this that we are so appreciative of this generous donation helping with part of these costs. Figgers bra stylist and mastectomy fitting specialist Rhiannon Tobias said she knew first-hand the impact the vouchers would have for thew omen receiving them. Every woman who comes in looking for a bra varies, she said. Some are apprehensive, some women are surprised at how much the products look like normal bras as people think that once you start to put prosthetics into bras that they become bulky or heavy. Other women are further on in their journey and can laugh about the whole experience of finding the right bra for their body. But it’s important to start at the beginning and getting them familiar with the products and going from there. Rhiannon said she had a very personal reason for helping women with breast cancer. My mother and grandmother both had breast cancer so for me it is quite close to home, she said. It is tragic to see a woman go through breast cancer and then outlay money for new bras. Nobody chooses to become unwell so it is great that the Ville Vixens are offering their support. Rhiannon said her role as a mastectomy fitting specialist was always rewarding. Sometimes fitting a woman can be a happy experience because they can choose the size they want to be and have the ultimate control, she said. Only recently I had my first experience where a customer cried tears of joy after her fitting which was just amazing. She never believed that she would end up with a bra as great as she did and, for me, that is the reason I do my job."

05.01.2022 A message from our wonderful ambassador, Tracy Bevan "I’m sure the 22nd June is a very happy day with fond memories for many, but for me today is a reminder tha...t it’s another year, today marking eleven, without my mate Jane Of course nothing can bring her back, so today I thought I’d focus on a day that was incredibly happy, where we laughed SO hard having these pics taken which was for the very first McGrath Foundation collateral. We had such a great day, so good that when I think about it all these years later, it still brings a huge smile to my face At that time the @mcgrathfoundation operated from my house, where Jane & I would discuss her biggest wish, which became the Foundation mission, that one day every single family experiencing breast cancer would have the same free support she had from a breast care nurse. Eleven years on we have 132 @mcgrathfoundation Breast Care Nurses, we’ve supported over 70,000 families so I can’t help but smile as I know Jane will be smiling too. Life isn’t fair sometimes but I’m so grateful to have experienced a true friendship, one that imprinted on my heart, left me with a lifetime of memories & one that drives me every single day to be a better person" See more
