fFor more than 30 years, Amoena has focused itsefforts on supporting the mind, body and soul of women
worldwide, establishing itself as an industry leader with
a robust product line that combines technology with
supreme comfort to offer bras, swimwear and breast
symmetry products that fully address the needs of any
woman. Our mission is to strengthen self-esteem, build
self-confidence and accentuate femininity.
As the global leader in soft cup bra design and
manufacturing, Amoena currently holds 25 patents and
was the first to introduce revolutionary symmetry solutions
for breast cancer survivors. With a history defined by
developing gentle, yet exceptionally supportive bras,
Amoena has earned its distinction as the authority figure
in the breast care market.
A Proven History
Headquartered in Raubling, Germany, Amoena has a
presence in 60 countries, including markets in North,
Central and South America, Europe, the Far East and
the Pacific Rim. Since its inception in 1975, Amoena has
specialized in innovation. Never satisfied with the status
quo, Amoena sets industry standards by continuing to
improve upon its own product line, investing heavily in its
R&D department and relying on feedback from women
all over the world to inform its creativity. Amoena’s highly
specialized breast prosthesis manufacturing process is so
successful that a significant milestone occurred when the
company diversified to apply the same technology to high
quality intimate apparel with fashion-forward bras and
swimwear.
The company’s patented Comfort+ technology
features a temperature-equalizing formula that transfers
heat away from and back to a woman’s body, as
needed. Its introduction in 2008 revolutionized silicone
breast forms; in 2010, Amoena incorporated Comfort+
into its new Amoena Mia bra line, making it the world’s
first luxury bra with temperature regulation.
Under the guidance of a highly qualified textiles design team, Amoena
sources its stylish fabrics from the world’s top textile manufacturers,
including those who specialize in advanced fabric technologies for
lifestyle, medical and athletic clothing.
A Women’s Wellness Company
All Amoena products are designed to be feminine, fashionable and
comfortable to help provide a natural feeling of well-being. At its core,
Amoena is considered a women’s wellness company and its support
extends beyond its products.
In an effort to help breast cancer survivors reclaim a positive body
image and a healthy lifestyle, Amoena sponsors the educational web
site TheBreastCareSite.com. The company developed the site in
2001 to address the general needs of all who have been touched
by breast cancer, including newly diagnosed women and long-time
survivors, as well as their spouses, friends and family members.
Amoena has also been a long-time supporter of local and national
organizations dedicated to helping women with breast cancer, including
Cancer Care, Amputee Coalition of America, National Consortium of
Breast Centers and Young Survival Coalition. In 2009, the company
forged a relationship with Luminous Breast Cancer Foundation, aimed
at providing support and resources to under-insured and un-insured
breast cancer patients.

c o m f o r t
Amoena’s extensive experience constructing non-wired
bras over the past several decades has been applied to
create Amoena Mia, a line that gives weightless support
and ultimate comfort. The premiere collection includes
six styles available in band sizes 32 to 46, up to an
H cup, with accents like delicate galloon lace and
finished embroidery. The result is a sophisticated look
that is seductively feminine.
World’s f irst temperature-equalizing bra
Besides its flirty style, Amoena Mia makes a splash by introducing
new technology to the market. Understanding a woman’s needs at
their core, Amoena applied its Comfort+ technology to the Amoena
Mia line, making it the world’s first bra with temperature regulation.
Amoena integrated the temperature-equalizing material (or Phase
Change Material) into the center, sides and slings of each and every
Amoena Mia style to maximize its benefits. The Comfort+ technology
transfers heat away from the body as needed, absorbing excess body
heat during a rise in temperature and warming the body with stored
heat during a drop in temperature.
“By incorporating Comfort+ into Amoena Mia, the bra literally pulls
heat away from the body to reduce perspiration,” said Pfitzenmayer.
“We have confirmation from thousands of women who wear our
breast forms and love this feature. We’re thrilled to offer this same
innovation in Amoena Mia.”
Amoena Mia, unique patent-pending technology with ultimate
style and comfort.

What’s in a bra?
A common refrain of bra Fit Specialists and retailers is that
80 percent of women wear the wrong size bra. To help
alleviate this issue—and to help women determine the
best size for their body types, bra fittings are now offered
by most specialty retailers. But the correct size is only part
of the equation; the construction and fabric are just as
important. A poorly designed bra will do nothing for a
woman’s shape—even if it’s technically the right size.
Unfortunately for the average consumer, it’s hard to
understand all of the critical elements that go into making
a great bra: fabric, design, and construction. Amoena has
answered the call and is raising the standard for shoppers
with its newly launched Amoena Mia line.
Amoena Mia is supportive sophistication
As the global leader in soft cup bra design and
manufacturing, Amoena has built a reputation over the
last 35 years for combining technology with comfort to
create bras, swimwear and symmetry products that fully
address the needs of women following breast surgery.
The company’s vast product line is designed to strengthen
self-esteem, build self-confidence and accentuate
femininity. Amoena Mia is the company’s first product
line developed for the general consumer.
“We applied the same comfort, innovation and technology
from our other breast care products to Amoena Mia,” said
Lesley Pfitzenmayer, Development Manager of Amoena’s
textiles design team. “For years, breast cancer survivors
have praised our products for being high quality and
helping restore their dignity post-surgery. Amoena
decided it was time to expand our expertise to a line that
can be enjoyed by more women. It’s amazing what the
‘right’ bra can do for a woman’s silhouette and her self
confidence.”

the technologyIntroducing Comfort+
The Amoena Mia bra collection is one-of-a-kind and offers the unique benefits
of Comfort+ technology. Focused on luxurious comfort, the collection features
Comfort+ material, a fabric densely saturated with micro capsules that regulate
and balance fluctuations in body temperature. Comfort+ is the proactive method
of reducing the effects of increased body temperature, especially in areas that
require all day support. Amoena integrated the proven, revolutionary temperature-
equalizing benefits of Comfort+ technology into each Amoena Mia style.

How Comfort+ technology works
Comfort+ technology transfers heat away from, and back to, the body as needed,
absorbing excess body heat during a rise in temperature and warming the body with
stored heat during a drop in temperature. The material is positioned along the center
front, bottom band, cup sling and even side panels to help prevent heat build-up
where a woman tends to perspire most.

Galloon Lace
The seductive edge lace is made with fine gauge, Textronic
equipment that provides lace as durable as it is beautiful.
The Edwardian scroll motif has a dramatic effect in
contrast with the supportive French fishnet background
mesh adding additional dimension. The tonal cross dye
Viscose yarns have subtle contrast and sophistication.
Animal Feather Jacquard
The modern all-over animal and feather jacquard lace
is made from smooth jacquard stretch mesh. The mesh
is created with ultra fine 56 gauge warp knit Racheltronic
technology and includes a high performance 280 denier
spandex to provide the incredible lift and weightless
support. A slight luster has been added to the jacquard
print to accent the playful print.
Embry Lace
The Austrian designed tulle embroidery is inspired by
watercolor gardens. The luxurious embroidery results in
a veiled illusion over the strap, top cup and center front
accent, with a sheer effect where the tulle ground is
exposed. The fine stitching is soft to the touch for
enhanced comfort.
Main Body Fabric
The Amoena Mia bra collection is focused on the
benefits of weightless support. The main body fabric
is a high performance 77% nylon and 23% spandex
that provides the ultimate benefits of body contouring
strength and excellent recovery. Made from fine 55 denier
nylon, the fabric's memory-flex fit is accommodating
with definitive support and durability.
Comfortable Back Closure
Amoena has used the ultra comfort foam hook and
eye back closure in all of the bras. The cushioned back
has a foam inner layer and is covered with a micro soft
outer fabric. The edges are ultrasonically sealed for a
smooth clean edge against the skin. Amoena added extra
length to the cushion tab for the most reliable comfort.

Luminous Breast Cancer Foundation
Alexandra Boos has been a full figured model
in New York City for over two decades with an insider’s
view of the glamorous industries of fashion and beauty.
Six years ago her mother was diagnosed with stage four
breast cancer. Sharing the journey of chemotherapy,
radiation, hair loss, fatigue, breast surgery, and more
allowed her to witness firsthand the challenges
recovering from breast cancer can have physically,
emotionally and spiritually. Depression and self-image
can have a large impact on recovery. Her mother only
wanted to look and feel like herself in order to enjoy each
moment of her life while healing. Many of the products
not considered “life saving”, such as her wig and skincare
after radiation, were costly and not covered by insurance.
Her mother was fortunate that she had insurance, but
what about those women without? Alexandra, a mother
herself, knew that women often meet their families’
needs before considering their own. The un-insured and
under-insured should never have to choose between
paying for a product that allows them to recover with
dignity or a basic bill for survival. The dichotomy of holding
her mom’s hand during chemotherapy and then finding
herself on a photo shoot the next day gave birth to the
idea of developing a platform where fashion with a heart
can give back to the community.
Alexandra now utilizes her career as a platform to
invite the glamorous industries of fashion, beauty, and
entertainment to partner with the best of breast health
care providers to meet the needs of those who are
un-insured and under-insured. Within each of us is a
luminous inner glow when we are living our life to the
fullest. A breast cancer diagnosis no longer needs
to extinguish that light and stop patients from embracing
their journey with passion and hope. The mission of
Luminous Breast Cancer Foundation is to provide
products, services and educational programs for the
un-insured and under-insured breast cancer patient,
and help her to look and feel her best throughout her
journey. Thus, the goal is to empower and support
quality of life and recovery, so nothing can stop
these women from letting their luminous inner
light shine!
