Okay I tried again this morning and managed to figure out a suction that didn't turn my skin purple. Also tried what you suggested and added heat first, so maybe that helped also.

I did about 20 minutes this morning, 7 minutes on, massaged, 7 minutes on again, and massaged again. Is that right? 

Also what's the different between pump and hold and pump and release?   Anyway I was also wondering if it'd be alright to do it again after a couple hours since I just did my cardio. When I work my way up to longer pumping sessions, can I just break them up into sessions throughout the day or does it have to be two long sessions, morning and night? Sorry, I have a lot of questions.

Pump and release is what you are currently doing- 7 mins on and two mins massage. Pump and hold is keeping the cups on for the whole duration of the pumping session without releasing to massage. 

From my understanding you dont need to have two long sessions- you can break it down although i have read that at least 30 mins is needed for the tension that your breast experiences from the pumping in order for breast tissue to develop. So i normally do 30 min sessions in the morning and then 30 mins at night. I am developing breast tissue although still waiting on outward growth even though i get massive swelling. 

Hope that helps x

Thank you, that was very helpful! 

Has anyone figured out which pumping method is best, pump & hold or pump & release?
