Hello, so I've just received my noogleberry and I've been trying to browse threads about the pain from the base of the domes with the suction, but I dunno if I didn't search back far enough or if my case is unique. My breasts are deflated but they do have a big base (they used to be very large) so I ordered the XL domes, but I find it really really painful when I start to suction, they don't become engorged because I can't fathom pumping more and having the base dig into my ribs...there is some stretching around where the base is though.
I basically wanna know is this enough for the beginning (I've done it for two days).. Will I get used to it? Will the discomfort decrease and I will be able to pump until my breast is fully engorged? Should I have just gotten a smaller size?
It does take a little getting use to. I have breast tissue and I usually bend over and place the cones over my breasts as they hang and start pumping. once I have suction I sit up. it is definitely a lot of trial and error. good luck.. sending you big boobie vibes.
Thanks for the vibes NattyTooty! And also I will be trying that way..I've been laying down first but that seems to be even more painful than sitting up. Thanks again!
i use XL domes as well. it helps to do what Natty said, & also, lubricate it with an oil or lotion; i use cocoa butter lotion to do a 5-7 min massage before noogling, & then add a little more around the base of my breasts (a little on the nipples too) & that really helps take the pain away!
good luck to you oxoxox
I find it helps to do a variation of 7:2 (I probably do 10:5) and noogle then heat pad then massage, repeat. It helps keep marks away. If I noogle frequently I still have one part of my chest (up near the left armpit) that gets a little dented and dry. It goes away, though.
Thank you 45-25-45 and wishinandhopin for your replies!
I use flaxseed oil and massage for one minute now before noogling. I switch between 7:2 and just straight noogle no stopping. It's now been my...fourth week and I must say I have gotten quite used to the feeling of suction as someone said before. I generally don't like to massage cuz very lazy lol but since so many people swear by it I will try and increase it to improve marks and circulation.
Tbh I haven't had any swelling. I've felt the itching and the stabbing boob pains and they do feel a lot heavier than before and with menstruation they *almost* look big but I feel like they will go down right after :-(. Not going to stop though! Got nothing to lose :-).
Good luck to everyone!
Did you get the silicone rings? I always have some pain when the hard plastic domes are directly in contact with my skin.... contoured domes are supposed to help....
Sorry for late reply Karren,
I actually did not, as I quickly got used to the feel of the plastic.
Thats great... be careful f the sharp edges... they can cause line or bruises that may not fade quickly!
