Ok, my skin preps do the same. I think what you describe is normal. I definitely wait the full 8 minutes. It says they are supposed to form a protective coating between your skin and silicone and I want to give it time to do that.
When you remove the domes, don't tear them off, you'll mess them up if you do that. Turn on the water and wet your hand, very slowly easy your wet finger between your skin and silicone to break the seal. Then work it all around wetting your hand/fingers as necessary. Be gentle, once you mess up the silicone it stops being sticky. I messed mine up a little on the first day!
Tylenol is a must during the first week. Your swelling will get better with time. Having any swelling your first day is amazing! You're doing better than me, and I measure a full 35" in the mornings now.
This is just the beginning of your Brava journey, be very very patient, it takes a long time to complete your course.
