Dome size question

I am on my 40th week of Brava. Unbelievable. I am still nowhere approaching a full A but I am going to keep going. I have been using the wide/medium domes this whole time. I don't fill up the dome by any means, but my left nipple always goes sideways and has touched the inside of the dome near the end of the 12 hours. Even more of a problem is that at the end of a swelling cycle, the outline of the hard rim presses into my breasts and leaves a visible mark. Since the wide/large domes are no "wider" but simple "deeper", is there any advantage to me moving up a size? I can't see how the large domes would promote more swelling width-wise since they are no wider.
What do you gals think? My swelling seems to stay consistent every morning, getting no bigger for the past 20 weeks! I just swell to about 34 inches (at the most, 34 1/2). Would the large domes promote more swelling and help me advance?

NO, domes will not help you. I distrust Brava after using and getting only my nipples enlarged and my areolar region enlarged without breast growth, but to help you out about the domes, the answer is no.
Domes are just for the size of the nipple, try changing the the way you place it. Whether you place medium or large or xl, the pressure created inside by the smartbox will be the same regardless, because smartbox is programmed so that you will only get the consistent pressure, says the Brava. I had the same question when I was using Brava, and I was answered this by the "coach".
well, let me know if you got any growth, I am so depressed that I am not thrilled to talk about Brava since I got nothing but uglier boobies. I am even ashamed of taking a shower now.

I had the same problem when I started Brava; I called them they told me to try different positions. I wear them like an upside-down V. If you still have the CD, they show you how to do it. Make sure you put the skin wipes the same position as the domes, or else it wont stick. I hope this helps.

Hmmm. I will try the inverted V position. I can't understand how someone with even bigger breasts and a wider ribcage can fit into Brava domes if this is as wide as they make them. While I don't reach the ends, I have areas on my breast that continually get irritated because they seem too narrow. The silicone rim seems to pull at the breast tissue. Also, the breast swell wide, but not "out."
Crazy. I guess I just have to stay at this size, then.

Roakie,
I always had this problem...plenty of room at the end of domes, but needed more width because my nipple almost touched the inside of the dome by morning. But I am still going to use larges if I do brava again. I was told the width would not be any better even if I got the extra larges.
Wow-40 weeks is really an accomplishment!
