I am very interested in this device but wish to keep my nipples the same. I know a lot of people began taping after seeing changes but for those who have taped every single time since day 1 has it been effective at preventing changes or did it make no difference? If not taping, was there another method used consistently from the beginning that has proven effective? Thank you!
The tape was frustrating so I ceased it's use (pops off from the pressure)
Imo. When nipples so grow, it's relative to the rest of the growth (unless you are Tuberous and its herniation)
So if you like your nipple to boob ratio now, it will remain the same regardless of you tape or not
Thank you so much for your reply! I don't mind them getter bigger as long as the ratio stays the same. For some reason I thought maybe the nipple would experience the most change cuz it seems more thin and fragile than the rest of the skin on the breast so i thought maybe it would take the brunt of the suction. I'm a noob so i haven't tried much yet so i really appreciate the wisdom and advice
I think the results vary a bit from person to person. Like some people don't tape and see no change and others get saggy nipples. But if you're having trouble keeping the tape on, some stick a ball in the dome to act as a nipple stopper.
I'm not sure if this will translate very well into a picture but what if i tape or somehow adhere half of a ball (that has the diameter of the nipple) like a golfball but made out of a material i can actually slice in half and then i have the concave side in contact with the nipple and on the convex side i can glue some type of small adjustable stem that goes to the internal surface of the cup. That way just the nipple stays mostly in line with the rest of the boob and doesn't have all this force stretching it out. Idk if this came out clear or if it would work or not or maybe if would hurt the nipples like they'd be compessed inside the half-ball, i'm not sure. Just an idea...who knows maybe we can find a way to make it work even better if we put our heads together
i've never actually used a pump before so my idea of the mechanics could be way off lol
personally I think whether your nipples are or wont be stretched out or enlarged will depend on genetics. theres a risk that not necessarily the nipples but the areola around them will have to potential to "stretch" and not in a good way. my personal thoughts are to not risk it and tape them down. mine did stretch out and I think your bodies natural collagen, skin elasticity etc will all play into it. whats one way for me might be diff for you and the next guy. Ie I ended up with a big stretchmark running down one boob after a lot of noogling..
play it safe in my eyes..

Well, that might work, but it sounds awfully complicated. And if you're suctioning the nipple inside the half ball, you'd probably stretch it out anyway. A ball or lid would be simpler and more effective, I think.
I didn't use tape when I first started pumping (actually I was cupping but it's the same sensation). And I noticed my nipples got larger. I could tell because I pumped my left breast more than my right and my left nipple is still larger than the right one (2 years later). I wish I had discovered the tape trick before
My nipples were a good size before and now they're too big for my liking.
I started using the ball technique but it didn't really work for me. I think it was because there was a little too much room in the cups and the ball didn't press quite firmly enough against the cups and my boobs inside.
SO I started using tape a few times but it never workeD! They always popped off with the pressure too and then I tried using surgical tape and finally SUCCESS! I always use surgical tape now and havent noticed a difference in nipple size. My areola has gotten a little bigger but it's so negligible that I can only tell when I compare beginning pictures to my current progress and an increase in areola size is unavoidable since your breast is literally stretching and getting bigger.
this is the tape I use:

I cut like a two-inch piece and make sure my nipple is pressed down completely flat.
@msnewboobies thank you so much for tips! I never thought of using surgical tape but it makes much more sense because it's so sticky and sturdy! I have just started cupping, avoiding the nipple area, but it hasn't even been a week yet so not much difference in the nipple or boobs in general. I also just got this orico full cup product that at the very least smells nice and citrusy so if it doesn't do anything growth wise at least it's a pleasant smelling moisturizer. Still hopeful for a little increase though
One more question, in regards to pumping, i have a really flat bony upper chest and i was wondering if that could be filled out even though suction devices don't cover that area, only the breasts. Like would the stretching affect above the breasts as well or just mostly grow outward at the breasts only and not fluffing up the top part?
I didn't tape at all and I didn't notice any nipple changes. Like I wanted slightly bigger ones if anything and that didn't happen at all. Literally not even a little.
