I think number of pumps is a poor way to describe pressure. It depends a lot on how much of the cup is air, vs boob. A nearly full cup and 7 pumps would remove most of the small amount of air creating high force, but if there is a lot of air in the cup, it will create little force. I agree in principle with the statement, that is pumping at low pressure will mean much slower growth, but less likely to create loose skin and saggy boobs. I think that this is only important near the end of your boob growth goal. Higher pressure will stretch the skin more and stimulate faster growth but will also create saggy boobs, but if you put up with that until near your desired size then start reducing pressure, say over the last 3 months or so, the breasts will firm up and not sag. Brava uses very low pressure because they recommend continuous wear for 10 hours or more, they are also well padded.


When you say pump and hold, are you talking about holding for more than an hour? You should not go for more than 15 minutes, then remove, massage for a minute or two with oil, then replace the cups for another 15 minutes. The main purpose of this is to provide temporary relief of the pressure at the edge of the cups on your rib cage. This edge pressure squeezes the skin and forces the blood out of this area (padding is another way to reduce this effect). Prolonged pressure and the skin will slowly die creating a scar. I have seen many pictures of women with severe ring mark scars that took up to two years to heal over and clear up, these women were devastated and one who was a brassiere model took up NBE because the photographers kept asking her to add padding. Her overly ambitious program resulted is significantly larger boobs, but horrible ring scars which cost her her job! Massage needs to include this area around the base of the breasts to restore blood flow and eliminate the depression in the skin caused by the dome.

100% agreed !!!
