Oh my gosh, here's hoping this is a solution for you! I gave up using electronic pumps entirely and at first just sucked out the air myself and tied it off with a hair tie. Now, I'm using a squeeze ball suction starter (like an aquarium hand pump) which makes things much easier. I keep it connected to the EveBra tubing at all times, like I would an electronic pump. I sleep with the squeeze ball in my pajamas pocket and if I wake up in the night as I roll over, I just reach to my pocket and give it a squeeze or two to make sure I maintain suction overnight. What it lacks in the convenience of an automatic pump it makes up for by being cheap and lightweight! You have full control over the pressure with a hand pump. Do you already have the Noogleberry hand pump? If you got connector piece to make the tubing diameters compatible between the two systems, you could just use that!
