Can someone pls tell me how to use the silicone sheets when using BB. I really can't take the pain anymore, I actually have a deap cut between my breasts because one of the domes cracked and dug into the flesh. I brought a silicone sheet, cut it up but the domes don't stick. I have cut a small bit and tape it over my wound every time I use BB, I know I should let the wound heal, but so close (5 days to go) to finishing the first lot of 8wks.
Have gained about an inch. comfortably fill a 34A, even though my back measures 28", 32A is just too tight. Will take 1 wk off(as recommended) and then start the next session of 8wks with the hope that it takes me to a B cup.

I recommend to take the break now and let it heal. but if you must, you use the suction pressure to hold the domes on. You did cut just the two holes out of the sheeting right, and the holes are not too big? The domes should sit right ontop the silicone sheeting. What I do is turn the machine on, place the sheeting around my breasts then place the domes over the sheeting. You will probably need a bit higher suction when you use the sheeting. Once you get the domes positioned, press them against you and I always had to lean forward some. hold this position until the suction brings the seal and then you can let go.
Where did you get your silicone sheeting btw? I am looking to buy another one but the ebay seller is so expensive now. they used to be around $30 even with international shipping! I think the one they sell now is a bigger size maybe that is why so expensive?

BTW, to repair your domes: get some clear apoxy glue, use a nail file to rough up the smooth plastic all around the crack on all sides. mix a small amount of apoxy, try to get a little inside the crack if possible, then smooth the glue all around the crack area, allow to dry 24 hours. I don't know for sure how long they will last after this fix but mine never re-cracked but this was back when I got rid of mine. So they may never re-crack or you may want to order a new set just in case.
Now to prevent from recracking don't ever let the dome rims touch in the middle anymore! I used a small piece of the silicone sheeting (some of the left over from cutting the holes out for boobs to fit). cut it in a small rectangle (about 1" x 3") and you will place this between the two domes in the center to prevent them from rubbing and causing cracks. You could also try sticking a small strip of foam weatherstripping in the center rim. don't know how well this would work since I haven't tried it yet but thought it would be easier if it works.

Thanks You're a life saver. I brought them on ebay, I think they're just standard sheets that you can use for cooking. I figured out that they only crack when they touch. so I keep turning the suction down marginally every 10 mins to stop them from touching. I hope this isn't affecting my growth, I do get growth of between 85/90 in the dome.

No the silicone sheeting everyone is talking about to cushion the domes is NOT the same as cooking sheets. cooking sheets are very thin. the silicone sheeting we use is thick like a silicone shoe insole only thicker (depending on which size you buy). I don't think the cooking sheets will cushion much, unless they make some that are fairly thick.

I duct taped the silicone on really well and airtight... It works well. The domes still hurt...but it's bearable.
