Noogle between sessions?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I just finished my first session...11.5 weeks. I wanted to go longer but the Smartbox broke and I had to send it back to Brava to get fixed. My original goal was for 14 weeks but I am satisfied with where I am for now - 2 inches and I am filling out my bras and bathing suits much better. Plus, with the heat of summer, I got a terrible rash on my back. Very itchy and small raised bumps all over. I finally took care of it about three days ago by not using the black bra and by using Aveeno anti-itch cream. I also had my husband smother my back in Desitin one night. That helped too.
Anyway, I am planning on starting another 10-14 week session in December. Has anyone out there used the Noogleberry between sessions and had any luck with it? Any advice? I am currently at 35 inches (I know I will lose some over the next weeks) and want to ultimately get to 36 inches (stablized).

I did my first Brava last winter/spring for 18 weeks and ended up w/ 1" of permanent growth. I've been using Noogle now for 9 weeks and getting good swelling. It's easy and painless and not much of a committment. I do 30-60 minutes every night before bed while reading or watching TV after the kids go to bed. My bras are feeling tigher but I know with Noogle you need to go a full year from what I've read. I would start w/ the size Medium domes and also buy the large while you're at it. I grew out of the mediums in 6 weeks (touching the end). Also, use the Aveeno lotion to lube up the rims and also recline back when getting them on (or have the hubby hold them while you pump).

Rox3-
Thanks so much for the info...just a follow-up. I finally received the Noogleberry last week. Is it normal for the breast to turn purple while pumping? Also, have you tried using the Brava domes with the NB system? If so, is it effective if you only use for 1 hour a day?
I had to stop the Brava system because the skin rash was just too much. I could NOT get the itchiness under control. I'm hoping to Noogle for a little while and then go back to another Brava session in November/December when the weather is much cooler.
I love checking into this forum and catching up with everyone's experiences. Any info/help from anyone out there is very much appreciated! You all are an awesome inspiration!

Yes, they may turn purple for a short time, but it should go away when you remove the Noogle domes. I have not used the Brava domes w/ the Noogle pump. Only reason is I plan to do my 2nd Brava cycle this winter and I don't want to damage the Brava domes at all. They're too expensive to replace. I'm on the Large Noogle domes and I cracked it so I need to get more and get more tubing. I grew out of the Mediums in about 6 weeks - nipple touching the ends and I'm only a 34A cup! I'm at 13 weeks w/ Noogle and I have taken measurements and have not grown at all
I have retained the growth from Brava from the spring tho'(one inch).

Hi Rox3!
sorry that noogleberry isn't working for you. Do you pump and hold or do you pump/release? Do you think Brava was better because it's worn for longer time?
