Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum also, very excited to join the community!
Whoever was advising or thinking about taping their nipples, DON'T DO IT!!!! I tried Band-Aids during my second or third week of Brava (I'm now in week 6) because they were feeling a little sore, and I ended up with blisters! The Band-Aid adhesive also took off some skin when I peeled them off. I found that the soreness does decrease over time, but what has really helped me is applying lidocaine twice daily. Actually, I use a cream that contains both lidocaine and hydrocortisone on my nipples so they won't swell, and it seems to be working great. They don't hurt anymore and they haven't gotten any bigger. Boobs, on the other hand, are already two cup sizes bigger (hehe) - I'm really excited to see what the permanent results will be!
Hang in there, and good luck!
