Free Breast ExamsNational Feel Your Boobies Week continues…

Want to give someone a free mammogram?

All you have to do is click.

Visit THE BREAST CANCER SITE (run by the same people who do THE HUNGER SITE) and click the “CLICK HERE TO GIVE” link in the middle of the page.

Every day that you visit and click, the site’s sponsors will pony up more money to pay for mammograms for women in need.

It’s all done through advertisers that pay to be displayed on the page you’ll see when you click.  You don’t have to buy anything – the sponsors will be billed for the number of times their ad was viewed.

100% of the site’s advertising goes directly to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Products to Help Check Yourself for Breast Cancer

breast cancer self exam aidNational Feel Your Boobies Week continues…

There are a few products on the market that can help you perform a monthly self-exam with more confidence and accuracy than if you didn’t use these products.

One common complaint from women performing a breast self-examination is that they don’t know what they’re feeling for.   The PLEXUS PINK BREAST CHEK KIT is a small sponge pad that feels like breast tissue.   Inside the sponge is a small slit that you can place different size pellets.

With the pellets inside, running your finger on the outside of the breast chek kit should give you an idea of what a lump or similar area would feel like in your own breast.  Sometimes, just knowing what you’re looking for is half the battle in early detection.

Companies that Profit by using Pink Ribbons for Breast Cancer

Pink Ribbons, IncNational Feel Your Boobies Week continues…

If you haven’t noticed, October brings with it not just the black-and-orange fun of Halloween, but also the ubiquitious pink ribbon-emblazoned products that companies issue to show their support for breast cancer research.

Web Watch 100% supports donating to research and the good that comes from that – whether it be for breast cancer or any other charitable cause of your choice.

However, where the pink ribbon on products was once seen as solely as a philanthopic device has turned into something much more:  Just Another Marketing Ploy.

Why buy these regular spatulas when you can buy a pink spatula?

Why buy just any room circulation fan when you can buy a room circulator fan that has a pink ribbon on it?

Just browse Amazon or your favorite local store this month, and you’ll see any number of pink and ribbonized items that serve no real purpose when compared to their normal-colored counterparts sold throughout the rest of the year.
