Some meetings leave you feeling encouraged, enlightened, and connected. That’s exactly how I felt after meeting Li Kar, the woman behind Breast Friend — Singapore’s go-to hub for breast education, awareness, and community support.
We immediately connected over a shared passion: supporting women by helping them better understand their bodies. At Supporting Eve, that starts with a properly fitted bra. For Li Kar, it begins with education, awareness, and early intervention.
Together, we’re bringing conversations about breasts — fit, function, and health — into everyday life.
Why Breast Education Matters
Many women have grown up without clear, body-positive information about breast changes, bra support, or even how to examine themselves. This can lead to confusion, discomfort, and missed signs of concern.
Li Kar founded Breast Friend to close that gap.
According to the World Cancer Research Fund, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women globally. Early detection and awareness are vital in reducing mortality, and education plays a key role in ensuring women know how and when to seek support.
Breast Self-Examination
It is recommended that women check their breasts themselves once every month. The best time to do a Breast Self-Examination (BSE) is 7–10 days after the start of your period, when the breasts are least tender and discomfort is minimal.
If you no longer menstruate, pick a fixed day each month — such as the 1st — to do your self-check. This helps you become familiar with the normal look and feel of your breast tissue, so you can quickly recognise any changes that might need medical attention.
The World Health Organization highlights the importance of early diagnosis, noting that improved awareness and accessible education on signs and symptoms significantly increase the chance of successful treatment.
Once a Month: Skincare Meets Self-Care
One of the standout innovations from My Breast Friend is Once a Month — a Royal Renewal Peptide Breast Serum formulated to complement your monthly breast self-exams.
This 1.5 ml dose includes:
-
Pentapeptide-48 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-10 to support skin elasticity and tone
-
A gentle, skin-loving formula designed for the chest area
Created with the belief that your wellness journey deserves every part of you — including your breasts, the serum is more than skincare. It’s a ritual.
-
Know Your Body: Build a deeper connection with your body, trust your instincts, and feel at ease with yourself.
-
Take Ownership: Taking charge of your breast health is a powerful act of self-respect and love.
-
Feel Reassured: Knowing your normal helps you notice changes confidently, providing peace of mind and clarity.
With a subscription model, the serum arrives in your mailbox automatically each month. It’s a tactile, sensory reminder to take time for yourself, encouraging regular BSE without stress.
Apply the serum while doing your self-check — enhancing both skin nourishment and body awareness. Because the more familiar you are with your own "normal," the easier it becomes to spot anything that isn’t.
The Link Between Education & Fit
As I shared with Li Kar, one of the most common issues we see at Supporting Eve is limited awareness around bra fit.
A well-fitting bra isn’t just more comfortable — it can:
-
Improve posture
-
Relieve neck, back, and shoulder strain
-
Support breast tissue, especially through puberty, pregnancy, and menopause
Our team uses a “fit by sight” approach, showing women what a good fit actually looks and feels like — especially important for developing teens and fuller busts.
When paired with My Breast Friend’s educational work, it’s a powerful combination.

We’re excited to explore ways our two brands can work together, all with the shared mission of supporting girls and women through every stage of life.
