So, I'll start. A little about me- I've had 1 child, breastfed and grew several cup sizes because of that. I mean, those suckers got big! Lol. I've read numberous times that if a woman has been pregnant, breastfed, or has gained/lost weight and therefore has lost a good amount of volume in her Breasts that those are the people who respond the best with Brava. Though, people who've never done any of those can also grow from it, just apparently not as fast or have the same amount of growth.
*The company instructs users to wear this device for 12 hours a day for 12 weeks. However most people see much better results when they wear it for longer periods of time and for more weeks than that. (For instance 14-16 hours a day for 14 weeks). It sounds hard, but if you live alone or live with someone who's understanding/supportive, then it's pretty easy. I put it on in the evening, wear it during the night, then take it off in the morning.
Even though you're really not supposed to skip a night (apparently it sets you back a whole week), I've already skipped a couple. Not intentionally, I'd just fall asleep before I could put it on because I was so exahsted. And on the nights I'm planning on going out, I wear this during the day beforehand, and then for longer the next day.
Before I go into my experiences so far, I just want to say that my program thread is dead right now. I stopped doing NBE for a while, then started back up and have changed some things about my program. I will be posting a new program thread and also a separate Brava journey thread in a couple of weeks.
So, I started Brava on April 16, so 2.5 weeks ago. I started just like Brava instructs you to, only starting with about 4 hours, then building up to 12 hours in the first 4 days of use. I've gone as much as 20 hours in one day so far, but adding up the hours I've pumped and dividing it by the days I've pumped, I've averaged about 12.5 hours a day so far. But that's only because I hit a road block when my batteries stopped working, so for 3 nights straight, my smart box would quit working in the middle of the night. I went and bought the same 900 mAh rechargeable batteries and replaced them and it works great again. (I love that Brava put a sticker on the brava batteries that reads "do not remove batteries". I'm sure they did this so people will order a new smart box from them instead of going and spending $12 for 4 new rechargeable batteries and fixing the problem. Or also because if you use a lower mAh rechargeable battery, it won't last as long.)
