I think they're great, however, pricey. Most bracelets for "causes" run about $2, this one is $5. Yes, it's a wonderful cause, but is the point of the bracelet to increase awareness of breastfeeding? If so, the price should be less because more people would purchase the bracelets. If the idea of the bracelet is to create funds to support breastfeeding, will the cost scare people away? Regarding cancer and breastfeeding, you never know if someone wearing a breast cancer bracelet may be a cancer survivor! If you bring up breastfeeding, the former breastfeeder may be upset that breastfeeding did not protect them (as is the case for many of my friends/family). If you bring up breastfeeding, and they did not breastfeed, it's like rubbing salt into a wound. Either way, you must be prepared to deal with honest and heart-felt emotions. Best wishes, Heather "Sam" Doak in stinking hot Ohio << Did everyone already know about the breastfeeding bracelet promotion? I think it is such a great idea now that lots of youngsters are promoting their ideas this way (by wearing plastic colored bracelets.) Any ideas on broaching the subject about breastfeeding and breast cancer when you see a young woman with a breast cancer bracelet? Saying that they could breastfeed has been most unsuccessful for me: received comments like---"it is unnatural" to "it doesn't completely prevent it, does it?"
