I’m a 32A, also super lean. I run 25+ miles a week, and never had kids.
I have almost no breast tissue-- I wear a US 32AA bra currently but I don't fill it out. I took my measurements before I started, and when I take EveBra off after about 14 hours, my breasts definitely feel more dense and look ever so slightly more full, but my measurements are all the same. The swelling lasts less than 2 hours, though, and then I am back to my original size for the rest of the day.
For the past 12 days that I've been wearing it, I've averaged 14.5 hours of wear every night and I also wear it for 3 to 5 additional hours during the afternoon most days of the week. I knew I would probably be a slow responder because I have very small breasts, low body fat, and have never been pregnant, so I've been trying to get as many hours in as possible. But after 12 days, my swelling is barely perceptible after a whole night of wear. How long did it take you all to get appreciable swelling, and how long did it take for your swelling to last throughout the day? Do you guys think this is a sign that this might not work for me?
If you’re wearing it that much, the swelling shouldn’t be the main mechanism of growth for you, from what his literature says, anyway. The gentle pulling on the tissue for 14+ hours should generate new tissue, even in the absence of measurable swelling. The way I read it, continued swelling will lead to additional fat deposits in the area, but doesn’t do anything for the tissue generation that just having the device on longer wouldn’t do. I could be misinterpreting that though.
Keep us posted on if the swelling increases eventually! I wish I took better measurements before I started.
