“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from the tool – I’ve never used an Alexa before, so this was quite an intimate introduction to the technology. But once I’d gotten over my initial awkwardness, I found the instructions really clear and easy to follow, especially with the accompanying diagrams flashing up on my phone.

I do think there’s room for improvement in the messaging used, as some of the information can be a little thin on the ground at times – for example, breasts are naturally quite lumpy, so it would be good to be told exactly what sort of lump would be a cause for concern, such as a specific size or feel. But I think the idea on the whole is great, and such a simple way to incorporate something so important into our daily routines.”
