I know I've overpumped because the next day my boobs were orange - they looked tanned actually. And there were red marks under my boobs and on the sides. But I've started using bio oil and switching to pump and release half the time. Like a 10:2 method. Usually in the morning or afternoon. I don't get those red dots everyone's talking about tho. If I don't pump for 24 hours (meaning I pump at night one day and pump at the same time next day) the marks fade. Right now they're kinda looking discolored so I'm easing up on the pumping and doing tons more massage. Everything's still smooth, just a funny color. Probably the best indicator of overpumping is what your breasts look like the next day. I think as long as the marks and discoloration fade it's alright. Plus it's a good idea to not let the domes sit for too long in one sitting, or let your breasts get splotchy purple. It's honestly hard to say, everyone's tissue is different - some people can handle overpumping for a bit longer and some can't. You just gotta find the highest and healthiest pressure. I'm a firm believer that you need higher pressure than what most think because the tissue needs to stretch - kind of like building muscle. Weight lifters actually tear muscle and new muscle tissue grows.

Yeah it's a long process. I'm glad I took before pictures so I know I'm seeing a difference. When I start to doubt, I just look back at my pictures.
