Hey, the nipple on my smaller breast is definitely a swelling hog, as well haha. Nipples or areolas in general tend to be puffy when you have small tubular breasts, so what I do is I put a soft ball inside the dome and then pump to kind of push the fat/swelling back into the breast, so the outer sides of the breast can grow. I am sick of the ball just falling around inside the dome sometimes and never really end up sitting where I want it to. Someone else on this forum uses toilet paper rolls as a nipple stopper, she cuts them down as much as she needs to and then puts something on top of it (where the hole is) so the nipple won't have a chance to expand any further from that point on. Yoghurt containers sound like a good idea, as well, depending on the size of course.

Glad to hear it is going so well for you and I will definitely let you know if I am having success with my method :-)

I like how heavy my small breast feels after pumping sometimes!

Oo I'd love to look into different methods than. Let me know if you find a good method for covering the nipples because I'm looking for a better method. I don't think my taping method is the best, but it feels better than doing nothing. I think my breasts are slightly tuberous, but they are still so small I feel like it's hard to tell what shape it would be if they were bigger especially since my smaller one seems underdeveloped. 

Today marks 1 week of pumping for me. Still no swelling that lasts throughout the day or growth but I didn't expect it right now, especially with how gentle I had to go at the beginning. The good news is my skin is getting use to it though so I've been able to steadily ramp things up. I seem to be doing a pump and release 10:2 method now which seems to be working well for me and I think I'll keep that long term. I've also been able to ramp up the pressure a bit, not by much. It's probably unrealistic and overambitious but I'm hoping there's something that lasts throughout the day by the 1 month mark, especially since by next week I will be doing 21 hours a week which it would be nice to get some kind of positive feedback that it's working.
