How much swelling do you get?

There are posts talking about various dome sizes but was just wondering what this actually looks like, e.g. what cup size were people before they used brava and what cup size are they now while swollen (the swelling sounds quite good to me!!!) and how long it lasts after you take the brava off?
Any links to buy brava from brava? (+ how do you know which dome size you need?)

I'd say the swelling is about a cup size and it goes down gradually. For me it takes around 6 to 7 hours before it's gone completely.

Here is the estimator http://www.brava.com/dome-size-estimator.asp
As for swelling i started as a 38A I wear a 38D or 40C Somtimes a 40DD using the little silicone inserts (evil grin) during the day now. 170 days 2485 hours of wear 14.6 hours per day average on 4 sets of domes so far.
I am selling two sets of domes if you wish to send me an email make me an offer vanth64 (at) yahoo(dot)com. both are extra large the biggest brava sells. one set is narrow the other is wide. The wide ones are also a bit deeper.
Comes complete with tubing new airlock manual suction. Smartbox with new rechargables charging base/modem drying racks and boxes for both sets and some filters so you don't plug up the smart box.
Good luck

I just finished an 11-week cycle without missing any days. My swelling after removing the system was the same from day 1 through the end of the 11 weeks except that it would stay slightly longer throughout the day as the weeks went on but most would be gone after about 10 hours. I was a small 34B but would be a full 34C after removing the domes. You gradually "deflate" throughout the day so whatever bra you start with in the morning will be probably gap later in the day. I've been done for 3 days now and I seem to be about a full 34B. Measured 33.5"-34" when I started, 37" when first taking off domes, and am about 35" now. I am not much larger - just mostly filled out and not as droopy which is great for me because after nursing two children my breasts were pretty sad looking. I am happy with the results though and plan on starting another cycle in January. I found that the "footprints" left by the domes last a good portion of the day and I want to enjoy my summer and wear swimsuits, etc. and I have some vacation plans so I don't want the interference for a second cycle right now. Sleeping at night is hard 1st week, missed cuddle time with my husband. I would not recommend this to women with infants or toddlers because it would be very difficult to pick them up or hold them with the domes on. The domes are much larger than you anticipate and you definitely would not want to wear them outside your home. Good luck!

Thanks, that sounds pretty good, I'm about 31-32 now with underbust 28 so if I could just get up to a full 33......that's what I am in a padded bra! And the more swelling the better!
