Self exams with the most unique tools you'll ever see
Posted Mar 29 2009 4:27pm
There are women who are crafty and can take my trash and turn it into a work of art. There are men who have (or think they have) the MacGyver gene and hold the car together with dental floss and a paper clip. But never have I seen anything like this. Created by artist Shannon Gerard these Early Detection Kits are one of a kind. These plush crocheted penises and breasts have little lumps sewn inside that can be found by following instructions in the accompanying booklets. The booklets also teach you how to perform monthly self-examinations of your own precious privates!
Using the softness and humour of these EARLY DETECTION KITS, Shannon hopes to eliminate some of the fear surrounding monthly exams and encourage people to check themselves often. Testicular cancer and breast cancer are treatable and often curable, if you find the problem early enough.
$5 from each sale is donated to Cottage Dreams-- a cancer recovery initiative you can learn more about by visiting http://www.cottagedreams.org
