She was super nice and very reassuring. I forgot to ask for suggestions on a non-cosmetogenic seal, so will probably reach out via email on that bit. But otherwise, these were my current questions/concerns =)
Duration -
Q: is continuous 12 hours of wear better than if I break up the hours of wear throughout the day getting a max of 9 hours of continuous wear broken up in two chunks averaging around 16 hours of wear per day?
A: Continuous wear of 12 is preferred.
Fluctuation -
Q: Is it normal for measurements that were increasing to have a drop in max expansion steadily over several days?
A: yes, she agreed it could have been cycle fluctuations also influencing my initial max numbers, but that it general it happens and our bodies are all unique.
Fit -
Q: Is it okay if the rim skirts overlap in the center of the chest?
A: Yes
Q: But that seems to cause excess pressure/skin damage to that area. I am currently using hydroseal band-aids in the worst areas
A: She suggested I could also try tegaderm tape as it is super thin and works well as a skin barrier
Q: Is it okay if the rimskirts sealing surface are wrapping into my armpit area?
A: Yes
Q: How to know when to size up? When my breasts began touching the inside of the 1 domes, I sized up to the 2's and in a day or 2 I was touching the inside of the domes on the 2, but the 3's seem way too big. But if the I'm touching the inside of the 2's before the end of weartime is it appropriate to be wearing size 3 now?
A: Yes, it is time to size up when your breasts are touching the inside of the current size.
Q: Have they had any experience/results in women using silicone pasties to prevent nipple expansion during the use?
A: She had never heard of that, but didn't see any harm.
