In 4th week using Brava, and what is the Manual Airlock system?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been using Brava for approximately four weeks now, and I believe my breasts do look fuller, or rounder, rather than kinda pointy as they were before; even if I don't grow a full cup size, if I can make them a nicer shape this will have been worth it for me, I think. I've been averaging 12/hrs a day as I am currently a student and can spend a lot of time at home studying (I would never have been able to do Brava while working since I worked 55+ hours a week and travelled a lot). I purchased the skin care system, which has been great because I have had absolutely no blistering or other sores, I think the "No-sting Skin Prep" wipes have made all the difference (I found a cheaper similar product on another website when I ran out, since the whipes ordered from Brava are $45). Also, because I don't move around much when I sleep, I have hardly ever been woken up in the middle of the night by the smartbox. I could see how restless sleepers would not do well with Brava, though. I've been very religious about cleaning the smartbox and domes as instructed, and so far I have had no problems with either, knock on wood. I do think Brava can work for people able to really, truly commit 12-14 hours a day for several months, at least I'm hoping!

My main question is, I've seen some mentions of a "Manual Airlock" system in some of the posts on this board. What exactly is this? How does it work?

thanks!

The manual airlock is an alternative to the smartbox. It's not made by Brava, you buy it separately. If you're happy with the smartbox it's not something you need to bother about.

Where do you get the airlock? What does it look like? How does it work?

And why do you need it anyway. What is the problem with the smartbox that's leading to this airlock being used instead?

You can usually get it from ebay. It's just some simple tubing you attach to your system. You suck out all the air from your domes, it locks and creates the same pull. You may be able to create it yourself if you can find something to stick at the end of your tubing. Anyway it cost about £35 and it's great to have in case anything happens to your smartbox.

It's just a check valve that has been repackaged and overpriced. You can find check valves in the fish section for aquariums. I got one at walmart for $1.75. I got one for a back up in case I had any problems with the smartbox, so I wouldn't lose any time. I used for a couple hours, it works and hold the suction just as well, if not better, as the smartbox.

Thanks for the information Heidi. In fact a lot of people do seem to have problems with the smartbox. I get the impression that it's quite common.
