Eva, sweety, brava is a system that HAS TO BE used for 10 hours per day, no exceptions. She can't use it for less than that for it to work, it's not the same as Noogleberry. Brava works on a lower pressure system for a longer amount of time per day. So if she's doing it 10 hours, she's doing it right.
jheights, I have a Noogleberry not a Brava... but after my pumping sessions my nips are a slightly purple, not much though. I think this is from increased blood flow. I used NB for a year straight and never had any change in my nipples, but other people have reported changes in theirs from pump systems. I'd say a cotton ball would be a bit bulky, I experimented one time and put a cotton round on my nips and taped it down, but it wouldn't stay for me. I'd say a cotton round (the facial pads you clean makeup off with, they are usually next to cotton balls at the store) would be a better bet because they are flat and round. Actually my areolas are as big as the cotton round itself lol, but I had a child and breastfed, so could be why. Good luck!
