I think I figured out the Chi massage, and I'm thinking doing an actual massage may be more effective than random rubbing. So I'll do 300 chi rotations nightly. Is that a good number? Oh, and going inwards, towards my chest/ cleavage area (I've read going the other way decreases breast size, but who knows).
...I've used a protein powder before, Vanilla flavored, and I thought that was what had gotten to me- my stomach was... unsettled(?)- and I thought it was that the vanilla was overpowering...
...There are corsets, and then I found... Sqeems (?). Has anyone used one and gotten permanent results? Can you just wear it overnight? Does it just help burn fat or actually shape your waist?
I measured at the narrow part of my waist (between my ribcage and hip bones). I'm at 26". I kind of want to go down about 2 inches. Any suggestions?
Should I try out this Squeem thing?
The Chi rotations are very good, and you're doing it right, so keep at it. I think the rotation direction affects how your lymph drains from your breasts, and rubbing the wrong way probably prevents it from draining (pressing too hard during massage will also prevent it from draining). This is only a theory, though, as I've never found the actual reason as to why massaging one way promotes growth so much more.
With the protein, I get the same way. I've always only used whey because of how easy to find and how cheap it is. However, I have been wanting to try soy protein, because I hear they can taste better sometimes. Have you ever gotten "protein high"? I got "high" from protein a few times. It'll usually happen when I have large amounts of protein for the first time in a long while, and then after that it doesn't happen anymore (although for my first protein I ever tried, it lasted for like a week!) I imagine it's what most people would experience from sugar and caffeine highs, although I've never responded to either of these in my life. It was so scary at first! my whole body shook and I couldn't steady my hands and I moved really fast-paced! When I would write, I'd scribble at lightspeed. xD
As far as corsetting and Squeems go, they are usually only recommended to those who are at least 18 years old, because they will reshape your bones (even the Squeem). Of course, if I had found them at your age, I would have started using them, and as long as you research and don't over-wear them, you won't hurt yourself (remember, back in the day, everyone started corsetting before they hit puberty!). 26" is a small waist already, but I can understand your wanting to go smaller (my goal is 25/24" by next summer, and 23" permanent). Now, results will never be "permanent"; you will always have to wear them for maintenance (usually only a few days out of the week to maintain pretty well after years of training). It is a commitment, but if you're dedicated, it can happen.
I like the Squeem. It DOES burn fat through thermogenic means (it'll make you hotter and sweat off excess fat in this area), but it also reshapes you because of how tight it is. I love that it's made with steel boning (although I wish it would have been made more like a corset, with extra boning and sewn so it doesn't bunch up in the middle). It gives great back support (my main reason for finally looking into waist training). It's flexible, and if you wear it during ab exercises, it'll provide EXTREME resistance to your ab muscles, which will work them even harder (trust me, you WON'T be able to do your regular exercises at first). I'm naturally a 27" waist, and I didn't think it could possibly give me real results after my first month (God knows the fake Squeem I ordered first didn't), but it hasn't even been a full month yet, and even after not wearing it all night, I wake up in the morning and my waist is so much more defined than it's been in a long time! It may very well be possible for me to lose something within this first month (although it won't be a full inch like they promise).
Over time, I'm sure Squeem will really help shape you smaller, even though it'll take a while to reach your goal (it will probably take you at least a year since you're so petite to begin with). But if you really want to reach that goal, it's so easy to wear! I've heard of women buying the XS Squeem with a beginning waist of 25" that look 23" in clothes when they put it on, so it should definitely be enough to over time help you reach your goal. It won't reshape your ribs as drastically as a corset however, but since you're so young, it might work better for you than most women. It's worth risking the $50 to try it in my opinion, and if you give it a few months, you'll probably be surprised by your curves come the new year!
Also, in the way of HGH, I know you usually walk, but try sprinting instead. Who knows, it might help you get taller than the rest of your family! Sprint short distances, walk some, then sprint again. You'll really get the blood pumping! If you're still worried about burning too many boob calories, walk four days out of the week and sprint three, and cut out other unnecessary cardio. Or even try sprinting the first mile, then walking the second. But don't cut out cardio altogether, because it's great for overall health.

Have I mentioned jiggling your breasts in hot water in the shower, then cold, on and off for a few minutes? That will stimulate collagen production. I took MSM for joint health and I don't think it helped my breasts any, so taking it as a supplement might not help. Just keep up with massage and growth will come with time.

Girl, you move fast. You need to just slow down. This will be a slow process, and there isn't much you can do to speed it up too much. I've been on HERBS for 7 months now and have still been growing a lot slower than I anticipated, even using all sorts of different massage methods and oils. Nothing happens overnight, so just take your time and learn to love yourself the way you are. That way, when growth does show up, you'll just be able to love yourself that much more! (From your body stats, you seem to have a pretty rockin' body, so learn to love it! I'd kill to have started from where you did!)
