I have bought these machines from the UK before and they are not the same as the ones that are selling here, like on yourlizzy.com! The UK ones seemed cheaper made, I bought 3 and 2 of them didn't even work when I got them! Had to send them back, and the people didnt even pay for shipping!! :o/ So, I'm bias to buying from someone in the US, and wherever they get their machine from.

Hi Ginger :-)
Hm i am interested in the machine too. The only thing that stops me from buying Brava is the time issue.. I'm 21, have a hectic life and some days i think i would be able to handle 10 hrs at home everyday for 10 weeks, other days i think it's not possible.. so this machine seems ideal.
I guess you could always resell it on Ebay if you decided it wasn't for you.. even if you resold it for half price... you wouldn't be losing much..
Let me know how you go :-)

I would go with Brava even if it is more expensive. I used Brava 11 weeks and hope to do another cycle in winter to build upon my modest gains. I religiously followed all the instructions in the manual and orientation checklist. The checklist provided a lot more detail. Used the skin care items, ran all dry cleaning cycles, etc. I used only the sportbox and it never malfunctioned, but for my next cycle I'll make the manual tubing from the aquarium supplies only as as a last resort if box fails just so I don't miss any days. I never had sores or rashes. The only thing was near my left armpit a red line where the top of the dome was irritated it. I've heard do not tape nipples. I never taped them and they would shrink back down in an hour or so and not be so engorged. I've been done for nearly two months and nipples are totally back to normal from before I started. Kept some growth (mostly I look more filled out). I wish I kept what they looked like swelled in the A.M. but no such luck. First week sleeping was horrible. Used Brava pillow configuration and eventually slept all night. Did not lose seal except when reaching for something in the cupboard, etc. I did not like doing this in nice weather. I should have waited for winter. Missed cuddle time with husband. Would not recommend system to women with babies or toddlers. You cannot pick up a child and you cannot wear this in public. Domes are huge!

I did not gain a full cup size. I would say I went from a small B to a full B. I got so used to seeing the great swelling that I think I was expecting that to be the end result. I have had 2 children and breast fed so my breasts were flatter on top and slightly deflated looking. They have filled out some and while the difference is probably not noticeable to my friends and family who see me with clothes on, my husband and I could tell a slight difference since we took before pictures. I think you end up forgetting what you used to look like if you don't have pictures. Even though I did not gain the full cup size, I like the fact that they are perkier and not droopy. Hopefully if I do another cycle in winter, I can build on that and gain a more visible size increase. I guess it makes sense that it would first fill in the emptier spaces left behind by the skin being stretched previously due to pregnancy and breast feeding. I could also tell with the measuring tape which seems to be about 1" gain. I averaged 13.5 hours per day (some days less, some days more) during my 11 weeks and I did not miss any days. I don't think Brava's one cup size is accurate. I asked the Brava coach about the rapid vs. slow responder because I am a rapid responder as far as pregnancies, breast fed and immediate swelling, but I am also a slow responder due to little upper body fat and dense breast tissue and she said the best responders have a more upper body fat or had larger breasts and lost them with weight loss. Well who do they think have the smaller breasts and want to use Brava. Probably those of us who have always been smaller!

Ty all for your replys, the cost of brava is not the isue for me really, its the time.
I 100% know if i spend the money it would be a waste as i wouldnt keep it up.
Its hard enough for me to find time to massage, and then when i do have time i forget etc.
I watched the my little boobs and i program, with my BF and we both agreed t just wouldnt be practicle, for me.because of the 10hours + u have to wear the thing.
But 2 hours from this machine does seem very appealing, wont stop cuddle time,me doing things ect.
Hi livingonaprayre Im really glad you have done well and achieved some pleasing results, good luck for your next attempt
Chris-Is the box really big?
What size have you gone from 2?
WOW that sounds nearly 2 good 2 be true 2 me,no offence not calling you a lier but there are alot of spammers around here lately promoting products, But thanx again 4 yr responce
Any more advice greatly recieved GD

Originally Brava said 10hrs per day for 10 weeks and if you get less than 8.5 hours one night or 8.5-10 two nights running you have to add 5 days to the total. When I bought mine a couple of months ago they were saying 11 hours for 12-14 weeks and I think now they are saying 12-14 hours for 12-16 weeks so it's all about putting the hours in. Diana1978 got a cup size in 7 weeks of mainly really long days. Also you're supposed to get a better result if you are replacing lost boobs due to breastfeeding / weight loss. I wear as much as humanly possible while working full time and it means no social life as there's not enough hours in the day to go to work, go out and Brava.
Good luck with whatever you go with x

Hi Ginger,
You're the same as me, for me it's just the time.
I have been thinking about Brava more than ever lately and everyday i imagine me having to wear the Brava for 10 hrs, some days when i am home i think "i could do this", then when i get an invte to a party and get home at 4 a.m. i think that Brava would stop all of that.
It would be uber depressing to give up your life for 3 months and for it to not even work.
But when you think about it, you sleep on average for 8 hours a day, so really you only need to make up an extra 2 hours, so that could be either 2 hours before bed or 2 hours after you wake up. It's really not that much.
I have been thinking of ways that I could still have a social life and incorporate Brava into my routine. So what if you wore it for longer than the require time, like 5 months even, but that would allow you to have a few nights off/shorter nights.
In a way Brava is easier than this machine, because at least you can sleep/do things round the house. With this machine you'd have to sit there for 2 hours. It's not hard to find 2 hours a day at home, but it is when you're just sitting there not being able to do things.
Fran - how are you going with the machine? Do you think it's working? What is the swelling like?

Livinonaprayer - congrats on your results, i guess you would say you've gained half a cup? That's a start at least. Did you find it hard to get in all the required time?
Is it true with Brava that the time in between wearing it can't exceed 13 hours?
Eg. if i took it off at 8 a.m. this morning, i'd have to put it back on at 9 p.m. that night?
If so, that really sucks, cos i don't mind doing the 10 hours but some nights if you went out late and still intended to do the 10 hrs, it would be a waste cos theres more than a 13 hour gap between wear.

About 1/2 cup or a little more sounds about right because my B bras are definitely filled out (especially at the top) since they don't gap anymore and I noticed that now with the lower cut plunging bras that some spills out over the top so that's nice.
About putting in the time. If I was home and not going anywhere, I would put on the domes anywhere between 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. (watch TV, clean up kitchen, work on computer, etc.) You're right - if you're sleeping anyway, put in the hours when you don't notice them. I left them on in the morning and did easy stuff around the house. I have a very flexible schedule since my kids are 12 and 15 and I work part-time. I scheduled appointments later in the day so it wouldn't interfere with my wear time. I tried to be productive during waking wear hours so that I would do things that I would be doing anyway such as cooking, cleaning up, computer work, TV, etc. Don't try to do anything that could cause you to break a seal where you're really flexing your arms such as scrubbing, running sweeper - just light stuff. Sleeping first week was horrible. The pillow configuration suggested by Brava really helps and prevents you from rolling over. You feel like you're in a hammock. I used 3 travel pillows on 1 standard pillow. Travel pillow under head/neck, and 1 travel pillow supporting each of your arms/shoulders, 1 standard pillow behind knees. I guess those are the pressure points that usually make you turn over. Feels like you're a turtle on your back. Being intimate is difficult with domes on. Make sure to make time for that in your routine. I don't recommend wearing them out of the house. They are extremely huge and obnoxious looking. I wore a men's XL T-shirt over domes around house. My hours varied. I would always try to definitely get the 10 hours in and then when I could throw in up to 16 hours. If I had sometime special to go to I would wear between 8/12 - 9 1/2 hours but never more than one day in a row within the same week. Brava states the following:
If you miss an entire day you will need to add 5 days to your overall wear time. If you wear less than 8 ½ hours in a day, it is considered missing an entire day. If you wear less than 10 but at least 8 ½ hours for 1 single day within a week there is no need for make up time. However, if you wore only 8 ½ hours for 2 consecutive days, you will need to add 5 days onto your overall wear time.
In retrospect, some days were hard. When hiding from relatives or friends that would just pop in unexpected because I didn't want them to see me (I just couldn't share my secret). I felt like somewhat a slave to it when I wanted to stay out later or just sleep on my stomach or cuddle up with my husband, hug my kids, etc. Now all of the difficult time are a distant memory and I'm glad I stuck with it. You don't even think about what was hard once you're done. The only thing I'll do different is schedule my next cycle for late fall and winter months because right now I like to go outside in the evenings are early mornings to exercise and just be outside.
Good luck!

Loreli,
Sorry - you asked about time in between. I am not sure, but I would think you would not want to exceed 14 hours between sessions unless maybe in one day in one week you waited no more than 15.5 hours (example: how Brava says if you wear at least 8 1/2 but less than 10 in one day in a single week it is not considered missing a day) but I wouldn't do that more than once per week and I'd try to get more than 10 whenever possible.

Brava told me I had to wear for 11hrs minimum 12 weeks and not to leave off for more than 13 hours. I am getting in good wear times, averaging about 14hrs daily, just going into week 5 and working full time with maybe an hours travel before and after but have no social life at all, spend my days off trying to get in max hours to improve my average for the week....sad sad sad!

I'm really considering buying this machine, even if it takes me doubly as long, it's only a few hours a day so i don't need to put my life on hold

I used the machine for a week. The suction dial was at 50% and I built up to an hour. I should have listened to my body. It was NOT comfortable. Yeah, there was swelling, but blisters too. 3 or 4 around each nipple. It took a few days to drain them and 10 days for the scabbing to go away. In my opinion, too much suction. Way too much. My advice to those using this machine would be to start at 20% (about 8 o'clock on the dial) and SLOWLY work up from there. If it hurts...BACK OFF!!
The blisters weren't pleasant, but they're gone and only the signs of new skin remain. Not sure if I'll give it another go or not. But I'm fine. Just be careful.

Yeah, there was swelling, but blisters too. 3 or 4 around each nipple. It took a few days to drain them and 10 days for the scabbing to go away. In my opinion, too much suction. Way too much. My advice to those using this machine would be to start at 20% (about 8 o'clock on the dial) and SLOWLY work up from there. If it hurts...BACK OFF!!
The blisters weren't pleasant, but they're gone and only the signs of new skin remain. Not sure if I'll give it another go or not. But I'm fine. Just be careful.
