Hi Caseal! Not a stupid question at all!

It is all based on how you feel. There should not be any pain or numbness, and as you observe your breast in the cup it should not appear purple. If you notice small red dots forming during the process, it's too much pressure. If you notice tiny little water blisters appearing on your skin during the process, too much pressure. (None of these hurts, by the way, they're just very annoying. ) Some cups have measurements along the side, but mine never did so I couldn't even begin to give you a ballpark number. I don't even know if there is such a thing, because this process is going to be so unique for each person!

But it becomes very intuitive. Once you get the cups on and start pumping, you'll see what I mean. It's very abstruse for you right now because you haven't done it, but things will clear right up once you get those cups on! You won't know how much swelling you have until you are finished, or until you take the cups off.

And just one word to try and keep expectations managed: frequently first time users of any suction method do not experience swelling right away. It doesn't happen all the time, but it is not an uncommon occurrence for a first-time user to not experience swelling in the beginning. If this happens to you, I caution you to not get discouraged! The swelling will come, and when it does, look out!

It may not even be an issue, some people are very quick responders to this method.

Thank you very much! I'm excited to get started! I've had good luck with massage so I have high hopes.

Thank you so much for the detailed response, it's absolutely wonderful.
