Safety from the Inside Out: Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Your safety is one of the most important things to those who love you. Take it from the kids in this video from National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) as they remind their moms to keep their bodies safe. This piece was created to celebrate Mother’s Day, but is relevant all year round for women from all walks of life. As we kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month, you can help others stay safe by reminding them to check regularly for early signs of the disease. 

Here are a couple of symptoms and signs of early breast cancer from NBCF:

• A change in how the breast or nipple feels, including lumps and thickened tissue
• A change in how the breast or nipple looks, including in size, shape, dimpling, swelling, shrinkage, recent asymmetry, and skin texture

Get more detail on these symptoms.

NBCF reminds us that “most often, these symptoms are not due to cancer, but any breast cancer symptom you notice should be investigated as soon as it is discovered.” Also, please note that even if you don't have these symptoms, regular screenings are important! NBCF partners with medical facilities to provide free mammograms and diagnostic breast care services to women who can’t afford them.

A Good Product. A Great Cause.

You can help yourself and other women stay safe by buying a personal safety tool that supports NBCF. The world’s best-selling pepper spray is our very own NBCF key case model, so join the movement and protect yourself in style! It’s the only pepper spray on the planet that’s scientifically guaranteed to never fail on the basis of heat inconsistency - it offers maximum, police-grade heat, every single time. If you prefer not to carry pepper spray, we also have a personal alarm benefitting NBCF.
