Has anyone found anything comparable to the silicone sheeting on ebay that is less pricy? the usual seller only sells huge sheets that are way expensive now. If anyone knows of a place to get something similar for way cheaper and ships to the US please please please let me know! It is clear silicone sheeting 4-6mm thick. it is not the sticky back kind and it is not the baking sheet kind.

What about the stuff the noogleberry lady has? That's what I have...I do wish it was squishier and softer but it definitely helps. She ships to the US...I'm not sure if it's too expensive for you though. I forget how much it was. $15 maybe?

That's a whole lot cheaper than the $100+ that seller wants for a way too big of sheet on ebay. The won't list a smaller size. Is the NB a sheet of silicone like you cut holes out for the boobs to fit through?

Yes, it's blue and quite thin, but it's better than the hard plastic. Louise said you could double up on it, but I haven't had success with that yet. It seems harder to get suction that way. But I've been meaning to try again.

Is it really thin like those dinky little baking sheets? those don't work, they just get sucked into the domes.
How many mm thick is it?

Hey Kieyah,

It is rather thin... I think about 1mm and a half? It helps though... I duct tape mine on so it can't move and is pretty air tight...I haven't had any problems with it yet other than also wishing it was thicker. Oh well..

So is it kind of like those silicone baking sheets? how do you duct tape it on? from the inside or outside the domes? how did you cut it, like the bb mask?

Kieyah i'm not sure what silicone baking sheets are? Do you have a picture?

Here is a picture of what I do to my domes:

As you can see I cut a hole, smaller than the actual dome opening by at least 1/2. Then I place the silicone over it and start taping it down, making sure it's perfectly even with the opening, starting North South East West then filling the tape in between so that it's covered complete. The tape really helps otherwise i have no idea how I'd get the sheet to stay put.

I hope that helps... I will experiment again with doubling up, hopefully it will work this time.

Oh thank you so much for the pic that sure domes help explain it. I think I understand now. I am going to try this and see if it will work with a baking sheet. They look a lot like that. But they are nonstick so I don't know if duct tape will stick or not. Gonna give it a try.
Thanks again!

Hi girls,
Just butting in if you dont mind. Do you guys have any experience with foam sheeting? I'm currently using the NB and going to give the foam sheeting a try.
