bosom beauty domes are PAINFUL! i feel like they are cracking my sternum! i can only assume noogleberry would also hurt, since they are just hard plastic as well. i tried one at a time this morning (they are too wide right now for me to do both at the same time) and couldn't handle it. i should never have sold my brava domes...
what are the solutions to make it possible to wear these things for longer than 30 minutes? it doesn't hurt my boobs, just hurts my chest because of the hard plastic...
help!

They are painful, but you get used it it. There have been alot of solutions, one was packing foam, you know the kind that is maybe 1/16" thick and in sheets that you can wrap around plates and pictures? What I use is a kind of weather stripping, but it is not foam, that didn't work for me, this stuff I use has vinyl in it. I'm trying to think of things you might have on base.
Laying down on your back helps to get used to it. Once you get over this hump, it will get more comfortable to you.

it was pretty unbearable... no worries about finding something on base! the internet is a glorious thing... i just need suggestions (and maybe some links if people found something online)!
i found things like those silicone baking sheets. think those would work if i glued it to the domes?? i am looking for something that is airtight for suction but will cushion it a little bit. i couldn't even turn my head without feeling like my chest bone would crack, even laying down!

Many many beginners experience the same problems as you are right now. There are also those who are using the BB domes like you. You are at the point where most give up, but if you endure a little discomfort and awkwardness, I'm sure it will get better. I've been pumping for 10 months, and didn't think I could continue. I started at a B, and my C's are now getting too small in the cup. So don't give up! Even if you can only do a 1/2 hour at a time for a couple of weeks, that will get your body used to it.
The padding I'm using I get at Lowe's. Last time I went to buy it they changed the description from "vinyl" to "pvc" so I'm not sure if it would work the same, although I think they are the same thing. I bought all the old stock of vinyl they had, and haven't tried the new stuff yet. But it's pretty cheap if you wanted to try it. Here is the link http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=96133-1410-V447/10&lpage=none. I could not pump as much as I do without it, as I tried every other suggestion. Oh, and another suggestion was to line the rims with Blue Tak, that stuff you put posters up with.

i am going to give this stuff a try... i think they have the tacky stuff out here, and if not i will order. i was thinking of just getting a baking mat, cutting holes in it for my boobs, and glueing it to the domes! walking around with a baking mat and two plastic boobs stuck to my chest... i can see it now!
i will try your suggestions, ladies. i dont think i can just get used to it... plus i get frustrated because i get it all set, then i reach over to turn off the light and out goes the air... SO FRUSTRATING!! i sort of wish i had found some brava domes...
cant give up. wont give up!

I swear I had the same issues. Now I can do ANYTHING in them, somehow they just become part of you and they don't fart off anymore. Emmie, back in 2006, you were one of those who's progress kept me going, so please don't give up, the noogleberry is awesome.
