Thanks so much, Soli! I really am completely discouraged about this Noogling thing because I have tried 101 ways (including taping, nipple stoppers, etc) of keeping them from going purple-ish and I can't seem to hit on a solution. I have low thyroid so maybe that is causing reduced circulation while I pump... I DO NOT want to give up though! That's why I thought the small silicone versions might work the same, but you mentioned the time element so.. do you think it would be ages to achieve 2-3 cup progress with those? I am patient to an extent but I wouldn't want to be like sixty years old before I saw anything happening..

Do you take anything for your circulation? that could very well be an issue for you. Don't give up Try warm water and massage before and after you noogle! anything to get blood flow to that area

Thanks, MissB! I'm pleased that you experts are answering my dumb questions! Anyway, I did try hydronoogling with warm water, but with not much difference that I could see... (sigh) I do take ginger daily as well as vitamin c and a truckload of other supplements for my digestive system. I also thought about the possibility of pumping the dome, hold for maybe 10-20 seconds, then releasing for about a minute or two and repeating that sequence for the entire hour. But the question is would that be enough sustained pressure to get any results, in your opinion??
