HI all
So I finally got my BB machine but am a bit ocnfused as to how to use it and the DVD I got sent doesnt work.
I know there is the Y shaped transparent tube which gets plugged in to the left nozzle at the bottom. But I also have a red and a black tube - what are these for? Also there are two nozzle looking things which have a circle of yellow tubes in them and I dont know what to do with these?
Lastly - on the silicone sheeting - I think that I bought the wrong one - its about 3mm thick and black and looks like rubber and smells awful - is this what I should use as there is no sticky side to it. What is the silicone protection that I should use then. Was a bit confused have read through the posts about baking paper??
Am so excited about trying this out - Ihope it works although it will clearly test my pain threshold!
Thanks v much

You don't need the dvd, that is just something the gismostore made up. It does not come from the manufacturer. The Y-tubing is for suctioning both breasts at the same time. the red or black tubes can be used to suction just one side at a time (to even up lopsidedness), or for using the facial attachments or spray bottles. The two funny looking things are filters. You can use them, or not. They are ment to prevent moisture from entering the machine. Unless you life in a very humid climate you probably won't need to use the filters. The silicone sheeting just needs to be thick enough to cushion and wide enough that both domes can fit and form a seal on it. It is not supposed to have a sticky side.

is the silicone in large squares where we jutt cut out a hole for the domes, so it just covers the part touching the skin? Just for future ref. I was wondering

The best method for using the silicone is as a mask. where you cut out two holes for your breasts to fit through. the domes should rest on the silicone with at least a half inch extra around the breast (because the silicone can stretch). It is better not to cut too close up to the domes either. I always left mine alone and didn't make any cuts other than the two holes for the boobs to fit through, but some ladies trim a little bit around the edges to make it rounded (kind of like an eye mask shape). If you cut too close to the domes it will get sucked inside and won't hold a seal. I didn't want to chance it so I left that part alone. It also has to be thick enough to provide cushion. So those baking sheets, aren't enough to cushion. I think there was one or two ladies that doubled up with too baking sheets but I don't see how that would be enough either or how it would stay put but you could try it.
