Ginie, they shouldn't be turning purple at all, if they are you are using too much pressure and need to ease up a bit. The turning purple is your body telling you it's too much. You may not have any side effects right now... but overpumping like that can cause severe damage, it can cause damaged tissue, so really is it worth it? I've read over the years of people using breast pumps for NBE and overpumping until they were purple and ended up with damaged tissue then, the body healed this tissue and left their breasts smaller than when they started! This isn't a race by any means and you need to take it slowly. I know I didn't have the miraculous results some others did where they grew tons of cup sizes within a few months. But I did things slowly and how my body told me to do them, and yes after a year of pumping consistently I only went up 2 cup sizes... but it's permanent and all worth it to me. Your health is more valuable than growing. So my suggestion, don't let them go purple! It may also be that you need to do some preparations before pumping... it could be as simple as you need more lotion or whatever you are using before pumping. It could be that you need to massage before you noogling, I know that helps me. It could be you need more water intake throughout the day (trust me this makes a difference). It could be that you need to try some of the techniques like the noogling in the bathtub one. All of these things can help you to pump further without turning purple. HTH and GL
