[Blue792]

Wow, THANK YOU so much for all this helpful information! I just bought the Smooth-On SIL-poxy Rubber Silicone Adhesive and used it to fix the tears in my rims which were growing larger by the day. I let it dry for about 6 hours and then they held up no problem! What a relief.

Breast4success, I am so excited to hear that you're achieving the outcome you'd hoped for! I'm so happy for you! 3" of retained swelling by the end of the day is remarkable. Blue792, it sounds like you're also experiencing growth even though you haven't been able to wear EveBra for more than a few hours. Does any residual swelling last until your next session?

Today marks the end of week 7 for me, and I'm averaging 17 hours of wear a day, now. I can't keep up these long hours for much longer, but I'm trying to maximize my time while my schedule allows. I have the smallest amount of swelling remaining if I put EveBra back on after 6 hours, but anything much over that makes me deflate all the way back down to where I started. So it's kind of hard to say if I've started truly growing yet. On the website, they say that after 8 weeks of use you start getting true tissue growth (I don't know if they have any concrete evidence to support that statement), so maybe after 1 more week I will start seeing more residual swelling. I hope so!

I am a full 32A cup when I take the domes off after 17 hours (still using the size #1 domes), and it is pretty disappointing to know that that won't be my final size. It's hard to have actually seen my breasts look like that but know I can't keep them! These long hours are taking a toll, though. The sore under my left armpit is pretty painful, and I've been using hydrocolloid gel adhesive pads from the pharmacy to try to keep the area covered. I have no problem maintaining a seal with the bandages on, luckily, and the bandages have stopped it from getting worse. The red dome marks on my ribs have also become permanent. Usually, they fade quite quickly. But in the past week, I still have them when it's time to put the domes back on. I'm not sure if reducing the number of hours I wear it would help, but I also want to give myself the best chances of success for growth. It was interesting to see on the new website they stated that people who used it for 12 hours had comparable results to people who used it for 18 hours. So I started thinking, am I doing these extra hours for nothing?

I think on the website they show that it takes more weeks for the people wearing it 12 hours vs 18 to achieve the same results, so I don’t think you’re doing them for nothing. Did you wind up getting the de novo pump off eBay? If so, I would start experimenting with different times and pressures if you’re getting such a small amount of swelling over that long, personally.

It doesn’t sound like I’m getting the same results as Breast4success, but yes, I do have residual swelling. I seem to have stopped growing at this point, but I am also pretty jammed in the cup by the time I take it off. I’m not sure if I’ll get bigger when I go up to the 5, or if I’m just at the end of the run. It’s 12 weeks tomorrow. When I take the domes off after 4hrs I am 3”-3.5” larger than where I started, and I lose 1”-2” of that. I was not filling out a 32A, and now after the swelling has gone down, I am a solid 32B. With swelling I am a 32C, which I hope to get to eventually permanently, but for now it’s about 1.75” larger than where I was 3 months ago after that 20hr pause.

I would love to be able to sleep in it, but I find it too painful. For me, the pain and the skin welts in the armpits and ribs get exponentially worse over time, at any pressure. It’s funny that the woman in the new picture on the website that advertises the coupon Breast4success mentioned does not seem to have the device suctioned, her rims are standing up off her chest. If it worked like that, I could wear it for long periods, too haha. In any case, I’ve continually upped the pressure every few weeks, and having done so gradually, I’ve had no red dots or anything. The worst problems I had were when I first started and was attempting to sleep in it at the lowest pressure. Once I hit the 16wk mark, I intend to start experimenting with even shorter times, rather than stopping all together. I feel confident the higher pressure and shorter time is working, but I do expect it to take longer to achieve results similar to the prescribed method. I initially thought I’d be able to do 6-8 months of 4hrs a day, but being in pain for 4hrs every day is taking a toll and I’m not going to torture myself indefinitely. I’ll start playing around with other options, maybe trying to make rims that are less painful and gigantic, even.

If you also have the welts and pain, I can’t imagine you are sleeping well. Our bodies repair themselves and make new tissue at night. My thought was that if I could not get quality sleep wearing the device, it was unlikely to work that well. You get poorer muscle growth results from insufficient sleep, so this is prob similar. This is how I wound up deciding to use this the way I am. I have a maximum of 4hrs where I don’t have to walk the dog, or do anything where another person can see me outside during the day, so that’s when I use it.
