Question about domes!

I just realized this may be very important while reading through the BRAVA instruction manual.
It says at the end of each 10+ hour session, there should only be 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches between my breasts and the tip of the domes.
I bought my domes used off eBay. There were supposed to be one set of wide-mediums, and one set of wide-larges. Well they both look like wide-larges to me. They both seem exactly the same and I don't know how to tell them apart. Are the mediums and larges easy to tell apart with the naked eye?
Because I am starting off with the larges, I need to know if this is a serious issue or if it's okay. Will the suction still work properly? I noticed slight swelling this morning when I took them off... but nothing major and they certainly weren't anywhere near to the tip of the domes. I'm a 34A by the way.. so yes the larges are ENORMOUS on me!
I will be so frustrated if I have to go buy smaller domes somewhere. But if it's necessary I guess I have to. Please someone let me know so I can stop/start worrying. =/

look at the base of the domes near the silicone. there are letters there if you see some that say lwl or the like that is large wide left if the letters are the same on both sets then you have the same domes and yes the medium domes to the large is a fair difference in size. the inside diameter is the same but the depth is different.

I was small 32B or 34A, 27 underbust, 31.5 over and they advised me to get narrow large - the first time I used them my boobs filled about 20% of the dome but after 6 weeks was totally full and had to go up a size. I don't think it matters if they're big you're still exerting a force. The only benefit of having a smaller set is that you may be able to hide them outdoors.

Hhaha yes honestly, this is what I do when I go outside------ I strap on a big bowl to my belly, put on a maternity dress, and so I just look very, very pregnant! =P It's still hilarious because I'm small boned and 5'11" with huge knockers and belly, but it's a little more believable....
Though I hope my neighbors don't ever really notice and run up to me and ask me when I'm due.
Ciao

I think to someone who didn't know you they would assume you were pregnant or just fat, the first thought in their head wouldn't be "Ah! there goes someone trying to grow boobs by wearing a plastic bowl over her tits", the only thing is if you meet someone you know - I've done it once and she kept staring!!! Made me aware of how obvious it must be when I do the same to everyone else! I find a loose dress, big cardigan and shawl to be the most effective disguise.
p.s. how come everyone else is so tall!! I'm 5'1 and most of you are 5'8+

Oops! Hahahah I meant I'm 5'1". Hahahah Not 5'11". LOL.
Actually I'm 5'1" AND A HALF. If I feel like being technical. But that's when you know you're short...when you add halves. =P
We're the same height. So yeah, the domes are crazy huge on me.
