HOLY MOLY IT’S HERE!! Introducing Change and Check 💃🏼 These legendary stickers are designed to go up in changing rooms, bathrooms, basically any public space that might have a mirror. Knowing the 9 signs of breast cancer, checking yourself and knowing your normal could save your life. If you have a shop, gym, spa etc that has a changing room or bathroom that one or more of these amazing stickers could live then please head to my link in bio - @pinkribbonnz will send you what you need for FREE! Breast Cancer outcomes are best when it’s caught early but 88% of Kiwi women under 45 don’t know the 9 signs 😱 I was one of them, and I wish I’d known them earlier. Thank you to @delaneytabron for designing these beauties for Aotearoa, @pinkribbonnz for being our wonderful partner in this and @thetittygritty for being the OG inspiration ❤️ Touch yourselves people!

“This is already a campaign that exists in the UK... I it saw online. Change and Check is stickers in dressing rooms showing the 9 signs and symptoms of Breast Cancer."

The feedback to this campaign in the UK has been incredibly positive, even saving lives.

"All these women started coming forward saying 'I saw saw these stickers, and now I'm in Breast Cancer treatment, and I never would have done anything if I didn't see these stickers."

The 'Change and Check' campaign kicks off Breast Cancer Awareness Month, after staggering research showing how young Kiwi women are neglecting their breast health, with 1 in 6 under 45 never checking their breasts for changes.

"Reality is people are really busy… it's the thing that gets thrown to the side, but when you’re out trying a top or a dress, you maybe have 2 minutes to yourself, and you’re standing in front of a mirror… you can quickly have a look, have a touch, do whatever."
