Well ladies. As of 2am on the 16 of August I have logged 3650 hours for a average per day of 15.26 hours per day over the last 229 days. not counting the 2 hours shy i am at the moment nor the total hours i will get on the 16th.
Or if you do 10 hours per day for a year with brava. You will get 3650 hours
Average has dropped some. been busy lately and havn't logged the hours i usually do.
About to order a new set of domes from brava aswell. 1797 hours logged on these domes. over the last 112 days 16.04 hours per day average for these domes.
5475 hours is the goal, 1827 hours to go. 1 more set of domes should get me there. i may take up to a week off here to see how things sit. then start back up and finish the hours off.

Seri you truly are the Queen of Brava, I've gone up to the narrow XL, got them yday afternoon so had already done 18hrs in the large, was touching the sides of the XL pretty much straight away and less than an inch to the ends but by no means full - hopefully this will come with time! My large domes the silicone really starting peeling after about 4 days, I've always washed them carefully and only use baby shampoo - is there something else I should be doing? I've only not used the skin prep once, found the only difference was possibly more itchy. I know I've totally abused my domes in terms of airlocking but I'm soooo addicted to extra suction, if I ramp it up over the session I can get a lo more swelling withno bruising. (The XLs are clear too so I can actually see what I'm doing) but yet again the right one needs to be poked through - is this always the case?
Sorry for the essay (again!)

I had the same problem with my right dome and Brava sent me a new set. The second set was the same but not quite as small of a hole as the first so I just tried to clear out the hole on the right side to make it more even with the left. My domes stayed almost like new the whole time except for getting a little softer on the sides and the silicone sole on the sides began to pill very slightly but I also used the dome cleanser. Also, I only used the sportbox so I don't know if the extra suction has anything to do with it. The coach did tell me not to press too hard when applying the domes because it would break them down faster. It takes longer to get a seal especially on the sides but it does eventually seal and stay put. I would gently run my fingers along the side of the domes while the box was running until it sealed. I never did move up to the XL domes like you did though. Good luck!

:::My large domes the silicone really starting peeling after about 4 days, I've always washed them carefully and only use baby shampoo - is there something else I should be doing?
The dome clenser is a bit better. But i have used baby shampoo and found pretty much the same result. The trick is carefully wash not scrub. you are only trying to get the dead skin off. Took about 3 weeks or so for the first pill to show up with this set of domes.
::: I've only not used the skin prep once, found the only difference was possibly more itchy.
I have used and not used the skin prep wipes i found that when it is really hot they help a bit more and possibly add to the sticky on the domes a bit. not really sure about that however.
::::I know I've totally abused my domes in terms of airlocking but I'm soooo addicted to extra suction, if I ramp it up over the session I can get a lo more swelling withno bruising.
Extra suction from what i have experienced is only temp. To much more just makes the marks last longer sometimes causes skin breaks lessions heat acne blistering. And will destroy your domes silicone extremely fast in my case one dome failed in less than 10 days while i was doing the airlock water thing. silicone is completely shot on that one. Useing the smart/sportbox with a little extra pressure while getting the seal is the way it works best that i have seen. Almost 1800 hours on this one set of domes. 2100 hours would be the same as 30 weeks of wear for 10 hours a day or 3 sessions. With proper care i think you could actually attain that with a set before complete failure.
:::

And funny yes but exactly the case i have seen with 5 different sets of domes. I have always had to take a drill and ream the hole out a bit then do the water dribble test. fill the domes up and watch the water come out the tube hole. if it dribbles dump the water and redo the hole with the drill again. just pushing something a bit larger than the hole doesn't work. the plastic shrinks back down eventually....Use vary slow speed on the drill to fast melts the plastic. Not sure what brava is thinking. My left side was a tad larger to begin with and i didn't do the dribble test till after my third set of domes and over 700 hours of wear. which the left was much larger at that time. still larger than the right but not as noticeable atleast in a bra now.
Well here is to getting as big as possible. As for my weight i lost the largest part of it during the first 3 months using brava. i have flucuated a bit but for the most part been the same now for over 5 months. Happy with the weight i lost but do need to loose a bit more. Just wish i could get to filling the xl domes and then do 700ish hours while touching. will have to see. If i can get there with no extra suction then i may decide BA is definitly off the option list. That may just be large enough.
Been thinking about taking herbs or maybe starting hormone therapy ie birth control pills. That may help with the gains aswell. But i like to see what each option out there will do before trying to mix them so i can see first hand what the results on me are. Everyone is different some things work for one won't work for another. But also some people respond to mixed modes but will not for each type of natural growth alone. Frustration at this point is mainly caused by wanting it NOW. well if i/we want it now there is an option that gives instant results but i hear it is painfull. not to mention having to have maintanence done every 10 years or so for the bolt ons....talkin about implants.
I have had comments from friends as to when i got the implants now already...But i reply if i had got the implants they would be much larger...gee if i am going to spend that much money not to mention deal with the pain. I want a set to show off. Not hide em. So they would be large enough to flaunt themselves with no extra work from me to do so.But not stripper/porn star 20+ pounders. There is a thing as to much of a good thing. Contrary to popular opinion. I have enough back pain already without having all that extra poundage sittin on my chest.

Thank you both, everything in UK is such a rip off! I paid about 4x what you pay from Brava in US and we can't get the skin care stuff here either. This set of domes I have done one session and there are a few pills already! I'll try to be careful but lucky if I'll get 10 weeks (although if I only have to buy 1 more set to finish 26 weeks that wouldn't be so bad, already down a grand and counting....)

Hhahah wow you could get implants for just $1500? No wonder why so many people get them. =P
Anyway I just bought my own system off ebay plus an extra smartbox and other things.... I am very nervous and excited about it getting here.
The thing I'm most worried about (other than it not working...) is the embarassment of wearing it around home since I am living back with my mother and little brother after finishing school before I get my own place.
They're so going to tease me.
I'm looking forward to being part of this little group here and giving support to all.

(no login) question for Seri October 8 2007, 4:24 PM
Hi Seri,
I am very curious what you've gained for wearing the domes for so many hours.
I'm in the process of buying and my objective is to go from my present small b-cup to a firm full b-cup. Since I'm asian, I honestly don't expect to do this in 10 weeks and am prepare to invest double the time. Is this a realistic goal for me?

I started as a very small barely there A cup. wearing a Fredericks smooth sensation D with the little silicone push ups i am overfilling the bra sometimes. If i wear the domes for 20+ hours a day for 3 days straight i don't need the silicone pushups. I have gone for over 15 hours without the system and fill a C very nicely.
So to answer your question it is possible. But alot of it depends on your body fat percentage. if you have a very low bmi Then brava will not work aswell for you.
I have been asked when i got the implants. I said i havn't yet, but do i need them?
