Can anyone give me some advice on how to pack the Brava domes for travel? How do you protect the sticky dome rims and pack the domes in a suitcase? They came with plastic over them in the original packing but I threw that away. I know the system came with a cardboard box that I can place the domes in, but what do I place over the tacky surface?

When I went to Hong Kong I was worried about them losing my luggage so I took 2 sets of domes each with tubes and an airlock. I put each dome separately in a plastic bag and they were fine. I didn't bother taking the big cardboard boxes I just took the plastic drying racks. It's important to put all your booby stuff in the hold not put it through hand luggage where it'll be pulled out and waved around by the sirport staff. The domes won't show up on xray so no-one will see them in your main suitcase. I decided not to take the smartbox as it's got metal parts that may show up on xray and look like a bomb!

Thanks, Louise. I will put my one set of domes in my luggage that goes on the plane, rather than take it as carry-on. Hopefully, it won't get lost as those are the only domes I have. I will have to bring the smart box also since the manual suction doesn't seem to work for me. I will keep trying.
I am just in my third week, averaging 16 hours per day. I have only four weeks to go before I leave for my 8-day trip where I can't use any suction. I am hoping against hope that I find I have achieved a little bit of growth that doesn't disappear, even if it is only and inch. I wish I could just keep going like this for the full twelve weeks at this point, but I can't. I will have to start all over when I get home and go for about three months, but I sure am hoping that I can be like Lisa, I believe it was, and be one of the few who retains some growth in only six weeks of intense effort.

If nothing else hopefully you will have got to the point where you get bigger swelling because your skin is more stretched. I know when I came back to Brava after a 3 month break it was even easier than ever. It really doesn't affect me at all any more so I'm hoping to put in 6-8months (and the last 3 have flown by!) then have a break over summer and then probably a third session.
