Re: Coobi

Caya, just noticed your question. The inserts are thin and the pockets are quite small, so I dont think much of a prosthesis could be substituted. But a small one could. I have a friend who is putting in those "bean bag" inserts she got from ACS.
Coobies were not actually made for our purposes, they just happen to work very well!
Maybe you should give it a try if you are not too volupuous.
Let me know.
