i am doing my longest Brava marathon to date... i'm aiming for over 17hrs! i will take some photos after the take the domes off to report the swelling. i hope it will be significantly larger than my usual 10-12hrs.

i am noticing that there's quite a big difference between swelling from 10hr wear and 12hr wear, just like everyone said. my nipples swell really large, then they go back to normal size. BUT, i noticed that they are darker than normal, and they don't get lighter as the swelling goes away. i don't understand why they would get darker.

last night, i measured myself before putting on the domes and i got 28" under bust and 32.5" across nipples. since wearing brava, i've been exercising less so my underbust increased from 27" to 28" . i'm measuring my growth not by my measurement across nipples alone, but the difference between that measurement and my under bust. so right now, i'm at 4.5". when i started NBE over a year ago, it was around 2.5" difference. to be a legitimate A cup, i think i need to gain another inch. sigh* but i'm not going to give up until i get there, and beyond!

one good thing about sleeping with the brava is that it forces me to sleep on my back, which is good for keeping the facial wrinkles at bay since you're not squishing them by sleeping on your sides.
