I have been using my NB for week. I'm using the medium domes and whenever I pump my breasts itch like crazy! Its so uncomfortable to a point where I have to stop pumping and let them breathe. My breast size is a B cup- could I be using the wrong size domes? Or is the itchiness something that goes away with time? Should I keep my breasts in the dome when they itch and just suffer the pain?
Thank you to anyone that can help

Just sounds like you need better moisture on the breasts while pumping, try applying more lotion, a different kind of lotion, or an oil. I used palmer's cocoa butter lotion when I first started, I found it best for keeping my skin the way it needed to be to not itch, the itching is it stretching, while it's stretching it needs proper moisture. So yea, use a thick cocoa butter lotion. Apply LOTS and massage before pumping. HTH

I tried using lotion (palmer's) and oil (also palmer's) and found it more comfortable with oil. You use less oil than you use lotion and get better suction and moisture as well. I was using
palmer's moisturizing body oil. It feels almost as if you and your noogle system become ONE
