Hmmm, I'd be interested in any responses to your question, because I have the EXACT same issue as you do with NB! I have medium cups, but I'm so dang bony that the air escapes out the sides unless I'm literally crushing myself with the cup to hold it on. Of course I can only do one at a time! And I only last about 5 minutes before my arms give out. So I like totally feel your pain, literally! I ordered the soft foam rings from NB like over two weeks ago, and they still haven't come in yet. 
*cry* If they actually do come in, I'll let you know how it goes! I've had my NB system for about a month and I cannot use it! SOOO frustrating!!! I had read about Mel's padding solution on NB's forum; she used pipe insulation foam and silicone gel. But that was for the large cups; many people were saying that the mediums were too small to use the pipe insulation foam. So I did not even bother to try that.
But hey, you're lucky; you at least got up to a C cup at one point in your life. That will help you with NB a lot!
Cuz your breasts have already been stretched out to that point before. I, on the other hand, never grew at all during either of my pregnancies (I am 33 with two kids). I think I was briefly a 34A cup for two days during engorgement, and that was it (didn't breastfeed). So I'll have a LONG way to go.
Any NB regulars figure out a solution to this problem???
