New to Brava - excited but a lil scared

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Been reading this forum back and forth and ordered my Brava a week ago. got it off ebay for $650 new since as i noticed results are not as guaranteed as they say so if it doesn't work at least i'll be less sorry. but who knows i may be one of the lucky ones
i work from home so i could wear it longer but is it ok to wear it more then 16 hours every day? anybody tryed that? also thinking of taking herbs in the same time to help the process. i know you say you might not know which one works but the way i see it, herbs may give it a lil push.
did anybody face boobs shape changes? i wear a 34B bra (yet i'm closer to an A) and i'm very happy with my round ferm boobs, the only thing i wanna change is the sise up to a full B maybe small C.
Thanks and best luck to you all

To answer your question yes you can wear it longer than 16 hours at a time however. Initially i would go for the 10 hours a day for the first week then add 1-2 hours a day each week till you get to week 5 then go for your 16+. Give your breasts a chance to get used to the device.
Also you should take the device off for atleast 1 hour each day to clean the domes and your skin. dry the domes off use the skin prep and then wear them again.
Your skin stretches and dead skin sheds and you will sweat a bit so you need to clean all that off or you can risk irritation or skin breakage. Possibly skin rashes.
Good moisturizer is highly needed give your skin a chance to recover.
I started doing 24 hours then 2 hours out then 24 hours after 6 weeks. Currently at 1636 hours day 114 at 8am 15 apr. I started as a 38A i can't wear a 38C in the morning anymore i swell up to a d almost dd cup now if only i could keep the DD
.
Good luck

I started with the wide/medium domes took me 43 days 645 hours to touch the insides went to the wide/large at that time went up to the Xlarge/wides domes on day 94 1340 hours. with suction on i fill about 2/3 of the domes. So swelling isn't that big at the start for me it has been gradual but consistant wore out 2 sets of domes already. 114 days 1639 hours avg 14.38 hours.
From what i have read and my personal experience it isn't so much as how many weeks you wear the system it is consistancy and number of hours per day even brava has stated 10 hours plus now instead of the 10 hours per day for 10 weeks total of 700 hours. I had 700 hours on day 47 1400 hours on day 104 hope to hit 2100 hours here fairly soon 461 hours to go. may continue on after that depends on how much i have attained. If i can get to the point where i am almost touching the insides i will take a few weeks off like diana did and see where i am at that point.

yea that part is tricky. you are curious to see how much of the growth you get to keep but if you stop you take a huge step back. i can't wait for my brava to arrive. i really belive that if i stick to it it will work. i'd be more than happy with 1 cup.

A whole cup seems optimistic. Not many Brava users seem to gain that much. Even Brava themselves are not encouraging you to think in terms of a full cup size.

i don't think i've put it the right way. i noticed in implant sites and on this forum everybody sais a cup is about 250cc. maybe it is but i think it's quite relative. a friend of mine got a 180cc silicone implant. she was wearing a 36A bra before and i wear 34B. if she would put on my bra it would be tight around but a lil big in cup. after the surgery and also now when they definetly reached their final size(after 2 years) she still wears a 36C bra that fits her perfectly and her breasts look a lil too big for my taste
that's why i tent to say 1 cup size. i'm a small B and would be happy with a full B since even when they grow a tiny bit before my period i am happy with what i'm seing.
does anybody know how you can try and estimate your boob volume? i know you can do it mathmaticly but that would be very unprecise. since it's hard to even get the right measurements
Good luck to all

No few minutes of the domes being off to clean em off and dry your skin won't hurt you at all for wear time.alarm only activates after more than 10 minutes.

From what I can tell, any extra time you put in is valuable. I never go less than 10 hours a night, but if I have a chance in the middle of the day to wear it for a couple of hours, I do it to "pump up" again. Brava says that the longer you can keep the swelling, the better, and the coach I talked to agreed that short extra sessions are beneficial - as long as you don't cheat on the regular 10-hour-plus session.
I am a 34A (almost) and started 3 weeks ago with the wide-large domes. When I got them, I thought they were the wrong size because they were so gargantuan. But after 3 weeks, I'm filling the dome at the end of the session, so I had to order the extra large. Can't wait to start bumping into walls again...

...for all the help. it's good to start off informed. can't wait for the system to arrive. i consulted the dome-size estimator and the told me wide-medium so that's what i got. i'm a 34A when measuring but i wear a 34B bra(well i don't wear a bra but if i would...34A is a lil too tight for me, my boobs fit in it but they would be very sqweezed) so i hope the domes won't be too small for me.
by the way is it ok not to wear a bra while using the system? are there and indications on that meatter?
