Hello! I've been more of a voyer but I thought I'd do a little update and ask a question to whomever knows and would be so kind as to answer.
As I mention in the program page I FINALLY made like two weeks ago, I've been using Brava just about every night minus some vacations since April 2010. I am now using the NB pump to get it going. Nothing else.
Looking at pictures, I could definitly tell a difference! I'd been hiding it from my SIL whom we live with for the first four months, then she asked me about it and I decided to "come out" to her a couple days later. She's been surprisingly cool about it! No laughing at me! With me sometimes sure but that's it! She thinks it's great that I'm doing this for myself actually!
So, telling SIL has helped me to get more hours in, though during the week I rarely get 10 hours, usually 7-9.
I had been wearing size 32B all this time, and one day a couple weeks ago started wearing some of my 34B's from my pudgier days, and they fit better than the 32B. At some point I checked different online calculator's and was all confused. Some websites said I was an A, others D. The more I read I figured out that the cup size it really determined by the fullest bust measurement minus the circumference around your TOP ribcage (like at or just under the armpits). My measurements were now 35 or 35.5 for bust minues 30.5 or 31, so I decided to order some C cup bras to see how they fit. I got a 32C and needed a bra entender. With the extender it fit well! I went shopping that weekend and bought 34C's as these seem to fit best!
I'm continuing to use Brava every night but for the past few days my nipples have touched the side-end of the dome! This is good news, but I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on an extra large wide dome (currently using large wide) when what I read about those haven't been so great. Has anyone had a positive experience with Brava extra large wide domes? Should I invest in this or something else? I love the comfort of Brava domes!
Also, for those experienced "pumpers", at what point should I stop using it everynight and switch to maintenance only? I am perfectly content with my breasts as they are now; I finally look balanced which is what I want! I don't want to risk them getting small again. I wouldn't object to them getting larger but I don't particularly want that so should I invest in bigger domes? How often should I maintain, twice per week? Maybe wait till I am actually up to a "D" then show it down and I will probably shrink to a "C"? I just dunno. Any help is appreciated Thanks!
