Just wanted to tell you what I told my 6 year old, and he seemed satisfied with it. (I personally don't think your 3 year old will need an explanation, my 2 1/2 year old just bangs on them like drums) He knew that I had breastfed his little brother (you mentioned you also nursed) so rather than tell him "mom wants bigger boobs", which sounds ridiculous to them, I told him that breastfeeding Owen changed mom's breasts and now they are different and I don't like they way they feel. I wear these domes on my breasts at night so that they will go back to normal like they were before. This explanation seemed to satisfy him without seeming too vain. i also had to explain to him that this was a family secret, something that only the people in our house would know about and that it was private to me. He only slipped once in front of my mother and said something about how funny I look at night when I put on my glasses and daddy's t-shirt and my domes. I almost died. My 13 year old daughter covered his mouth and somehow we managed to distract my mother before she could say "what are domes????"

Too funny. My five year old bangs on them like drums too, and asks me where my "medical device" is. I told them it's a secret and not to tell grandma. My seven year old and my husband just laugh. My two year old daughter said "I like your boobs" and knocked on the domes and laughed. You do have to sneek around the house though if someone knocks on the front door like one of the neighbors. I can't imagine doing this in the summer. I think I will noogle over the summer to retain the growth.

Do you find you live in fear of your kids saying something by accident in front of friends or family??? I especially worry about my 7 year old. He has a blabber mouth and loves to talk!

Yes, my 7 year old (sounds like our three kids are the same ages - 7, 5 & 2) is curious but mostly just laughs at me in the domes. He asks where my medical device is when it's off but he never tries to touch it. My five year old is the one who knocks on it. So far, they haven't said anything to the family yet, thank goodness.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Your right about my three year old. She has banged on them a few times. I told my five year old that it was a blood pressure machine that I had to wear at night. Neither one of them seem to care very much at all about it. I'm scared if I tell him that it is a family secret, that it will make him more tempted to say something, but he hasn't said anything yet. This is night number 4 for me. I feel like Dolly Parton walking around, it's pretty funny actually. Did anybody get a rash or blisters? I got one the first night, the rash seems to be getting better and the blister is hardly noticeable. I've been putting benadryl cream on during the day and lots of prep wipes on at night with the domes. The rash isn't getting worse, but it doesn't seem to go away. I'm hoping in time my skin will adjust. I've never really had sensitive skin, but for some reason I'm reacting a little to these domes. I should have probably waited until winter to do this so I could wear a bikini without a rash showing, but I couldn't wait. I've been wanting to get one for a while now and finally did it. Thanks again for your replys!
