I used it now for almost two months and loving the results. Only it lasts for like 1 hour. Can someone please tell me how long yours last and what tips you have about the plumper. I'm really in love with the way my lips turns out only I hate to carry it everywhere I go and use the toilet as an excuse to plump it up again.
Hi lau!
It really depends on a few factors.
1) It depends on for how long you have been using it and how frequently you use it. The longer and more often you have been pumping your lips, the longer period of time your lips will have had to "adjust" to the pump by holding more blood in the lips naturally. As time goes on and you continue to regularly use the pump, the more your lips will naturally retain between pumping sessions and the easier it will be to pump them when you do. I'd say to get this effect you can do it 1-2 times daily to get this to happen.
2) It depends on for how long you hold the suction within your pumping sessions. The longer you hold the suction in your pumping session, the longer it will last. Now, I am sure you have read in the previous posts (and also noticed yourself!) that if you use the JL lip pump for a long amount of time on a strong (sometimes even medium) hold, you will come out looking like you have goofy, overly bulgy lips! Which is a definite unattractive look. Not to mention it hurts like ****. So the key to be able to hold the suction for a long time is to hold it at a low, medium-low suction. You will know you have the right suction if it does not hurt even after 10 minutes, or any period of time really. I notice that I get my longest results after I sleep with it on for the first couple hours of my sleep. In the morning, they look wonderful! And the results can last up to 5-6 hours. They aren't preggo lips that last for 5-6 hours; rather, they are noticeably larger but tastefully so.
If you are having a hard time with increasing your frequency of use of the pumper because it is inconvenient for you to squeeze into times of your day (as you said you are running off to the bathroom!), I can tell you what has worked for me, and maybe you can try it to see if it works for you. I usually like to keep it in my car. Every time I get into my car, after I am on the road I put it on and keep it on till about 2 minutes before I arrive to my destination (because my skin is sensitive,
sometimes it will leave a ring around my mouth from my hand pressing the funnel against my face if I am not thinking about it when I am driving. If I make a habit to put it down a couple minutes before arrival, it gives the pressure mark time to go away. Chances are likely you won't have this problem, though... my skin turns red with the slightest rub!). So yeah, and keep it at a low pressure for the whole car ride. It will help condition your lips! And it should hopefully decrease the amounts of times you find yourself running to the bathroom to take an extra pump
I hope that helps!
