You Go, Girls!

Talk about using your own experience to help others! Joy Jones found that regular clothing stores were just plain unhelpful and even treated her coldly after her mastectomy when she went to buy bras, swimsuits and clothing items in general. She heard similar stories from her friends, including one woman who said she was told by a sales clerk fitting her for a wig that she had the biggest head she had ever seen.

So, instead of getting back, Joy got even. Jones, with her daughter, opened her own store. Busom Buds in Fairfield Township, Ohio carries bras, prosthetics, camisoles, wigs, bathing suits, and products to help women deal with menopause. Service is delivered with compassion and the empathy of women who have truly been there before.

I am sure that there are other outlets where you have had great experiences – would you share those with us so that we can help other women avoid the bad and get only the good?
