The Daisy Wheel™

The Daisy Wheel is an interactive, easy-to-use tool in Our ToolKit that outlines the 8 steps necessary to perform a breast self-exam.

The 8 steps of a breast self-exam.

These are the 8 steps we suggest when performing a breast self-exam, and are the core of our Daisy Wheel©. We encourage you to make breast self-examination a part of your healthy routine – like brushing your teeth!

1

BSE - Breast Self Exam
Think of your breast as a daisy.

2

Look at your breasts in the mirror – hands on hips tighten your chest. Anything weird? Discharge, puckering, dimpling?

3

Lying down, firmly press 3 fingers on your breast in a circular motion. Examine each petal.

4

Apply 3 different levels of pressure — light, medium, firm — with your finger pads to check your breast tissue.

5

Use each pressure level (L, M, F) on each “petal” before moving to the next.

6

Start by your armpit and move down to just below your breast, using the same circular motion in an up and down pattern, covering your whole breast. ( Repeat on other breast )

7

Sitting or standing — raise your arms slightly and use the same circular motion with your finger pads to examine your underarm. ( Standing in the shower is a great place to do this! )

8

Did you see or feel something that worries you? Don’t be embarrassed — tell your mom, dad, sister, grandma, school nurse, teacher, your BFF!
