I was using the nipple stopper method using the empty roll of tp and lid against my breast with tissues covering the bottom of the roll. I have the large dome contoured cups but my breasts are small measuring out about 1.5" under the breast but the diameter is fine. I was suggested this size by Lucy.
I was pumping for 5 minutes then release for 2 minutes expelling the air out but keeping the domes on my breasts. I guess I didn't cut the rolls short enough and they just pressed too hard against my breasts. I taped my nipples up to avoid expansion and it worked but when I took off the domes and the tape my breasts were very soft and felt saggy. They got back to their original firmness after though. I pumped for an hour but I worry if I pumped more they'd just get more saggy? What am I doing incorrectly? I have the gauge and pumped up to -4 CL.
I too also had my breasts respond the same way but even had little red dots as well. The issue was that I was pumping too hard starting out which Lucy agreed with. Why was I pumping too hard? I had to to get my vacuum gauge to register something. So, I just ignored what the gauge was reading and placed tap on the cups as a visual reference to how much vacuum to place which was comfortable and wouldn't create issues. Eventually, I would readjust the location of the tape as my breasts became used to the vacuum.
I would ignore what the gauge reads for now and just go with how it feels. In time you will be there.
