Hi ladies,
I just got my Noogleberry domes - airlock version.
I can't figure out how to keep the pressure locked in the domes! By the way, I can't use both domes at the same time so looks like it'll have to be one at a time
I managed to get a little pressure by pinching the tube that goes to the other unused dome but the moment I move or release that pump thing, the air comes out. Do any of you have the airlock version? How do I get the pressure effect to stay??
Any feedback greatly appreciated!
I just removed one of the tubes and it works better now. Too bad both domes can't fit on my chest though!!
hi bettie. with my kangzhu it was easy ..one dome at a time. when i got my noogleberry domes i felt like i’d never get them both pumped up, it felt so awkward. i oiled and massaged, added a little aloe gel then i had to pull my shoulders back, lean back a bit, hold steady and, to get them to seat i got them into position, nest the left dome in the crook of my left elbow while holding the right dome with my left hand, and pump furiously until they both seated. sometimes, i’d have to stop and twist one of the domes cuz it wouldn’t seat.
about the valves, once or twice i had to grab one and twist just a little because it would slowly, slowly lose air. also, you really have to push the tube ends pretty hard to get them fully connected into the valves. whew! normally, for me, i don’t disconnect the hoses, it’s just too risky cuz if i move around too much or try to do anything that flexes my chest muscle then i lose pressure and i have to start over. it took me a while to get the hang of it. also, i use the large contoured. they’re a good size for me but if they were even 1cm bigger i’d have to get chest expanders. hahaha, that was a joke. and i still use my rubber bands to bring them together and from drifting away from my midline. my 1¢. hope this helps. good luck. other girls here may have more help to give than me. also, there's the noogleberry forum.
Hi Solome,
Thank you! You're always so helpful, that was more than 1 cent!
Gosh, you really gotta have patience and determination to work those domes. I am quite determined so I actually managed to get 'em to stay but I have to kind of press them and kind of not move haha. Yes, I noticed that twisting the dome around helps.
I also have the CL domes. Can I ask you if the sides of your breasts touch the sides of the domes? I'm getting paranoid now because mine do so, after pumping that is. I sure hope this doesn't negatively affect the growth. The domes are so big, can't imagine something bigger (like you said!!). Thank you again

yes, the sides of my breasts do touch near the base, maybe, about 1.25” into the domes they touch …well, mostly at the sides and bottom. last week, i hung upside-down on an inversion table thinking gravity might shift some of the tension toward the upper poles. i had to put the domes on after i was hanging. idk, it might have been stupid. i do wish the domes were just a bit fishbowl shaped like the domes that karren made, still, i have to say that i’ve seen progress since i've been consistent and, of course, i’m also making sure that i’m getting extra protein, etc, etc. like you, when i first got my noogs i was so frustrated. yes, my breasts are touching the acrylic near the base but honestly, i can’t put a bigger dome on my chest unless there was a complete redesign where both domes are connected to be one custom shape for two breasts. anyway, you sound like you’re on your way. good luck, bettie
Thank you again Solome. Exactly, mine also touch at the sides and bottom of the domes....actually feel better knowing that yours also touch! Been researching and many ladies seem to say that the sides shouldn't touch the cups, so I got worried. Or if I understood correctly, touching sides might affect shape of breast, not growth.
I also think the XL domes would be huge. I don't know if two XL domes would fit on a chest (esp. mine!!). Yes, custom domes/fish shaped bowl domes would be perfect
Thank you again for the positive vibes, happy growing to you too!
Hi Solome,
Not sure if you're gonna read this....
I just realized that our L domes are about 14 cms and that the XL domes are also 14 cms! I saw this in the dome size database on breastnexus. It's the height that differs between L and XL cups, not the width..... so in theory we could go for the XL domes (well, you could. I'm still on my way to filling the Ls!).
hi bettie ..yeah, i think i was forgot to remember there's an XXL ..i think that was the one i was forget.
wow, the XXL is huge. i don't know if i'll ever need the more elongated XL but i really have to say it again, i'm really impressed with how the domes are pulling my breasts upwards at my midline and i know it's cuz i keep those rubber bands on, otherwise, the domes tend to gravitate a bit toward the round of my ribs making a space between the domes at my midline of as much as 1.5"-2" whereas with the rubber bands the domes come together and touch at the base. also, even with my kangzhu's i was never quite as consistent as i've been of late so i'm sure that's really a big factor. probably the most difficult thing is just remembering to eat enough ..sometimes, i was forgot cuz i get busy with other things.
but, seeing how my breasts are now starting to lift closer to my midline is so exciting.
Oh yeah, the XXL ones sound enormous, Solome. You never know, maybe one day we'll be needing them
I still have to try that rubber band trick. Haven't done so yet because I'm worried about cracking the domes. May I ask you how long you've had your CL domes for?
I'm also prettty excited (just not very excited about the purple though.....)
i got my kangzhu mediums 2yrs ago and my large countered noogs nearly 3 months ago. i never did get the silicon rings …thought it would hurt without them but it’s actually ok, i don’t think i’ll be getting those. with my noogs, for some reason, i've gotten more disciplined. yeah, it’s funny about the rubber bands, they’re the heavy duty thick wall rubber bands. if i don’t use them the domes want to gravitate a bit outward toward the sides of my ribcage. of course, like i said earlier, i massage with oil, them rub about a half tsp of aloe vera gel over my oiled breasts and after the rubber bands are on the domes, they slowly slide the domes together and hold them there the whole time. i do have to make sure i pump enough to hold the domes from being pulled off by the rubber bands without pumping too much to hurt myself. there are other things i'm doing, too, like fenugreek, sheep placenta and stuff stuff et cetera et cetera. i've been reading a little bit on another thread about igf. here:
