ive been doing some research on the brava system and came across this website and im glad that i did! i had several questions. some of the questions have been answered by previous posts, but seeing how some time has passed from those previous posts and now, id like to ask them again if thats okay
1. after wearing them at night and taking them off in the morning, how much does it swell in the beginning and how much does the swelling go down? im a 32b/34a and dont know if i should be upsizing a bra for the swelling even during the first week. thatd be a wee bit embarrassing though if the swelling went down during the day and i ended up with a saggy 32c bra coming home from school.
2. how discreet is the box that the brava bra is shipped in. id prefer not to have BREAST ENHANCEMENT labeled all over the box when it arrives (blushes).
3. has your measurements stayed the same after stopping the brava system? has it stayed fairly permenant?
4. are there any finance plans? $2500 all at once is a bit much for me at the moment
5. are the results typically good? a full cup size higher would be nice. some of the pictures dont look like there is too much difference.
thank you so much for your time ive read many of your postings, and i greatly admire your honesty, dedication, and kindness.

Welcome to the tit club!
Will answer your Qs in the order you asked:
1. Go out and buy a HUGE bra! I didn't have much to put in my padded 32Bs before I started but within the first week I was swelling to C/D cup and after 7 months about a G cup. You will feel sore and your ribs will have taken a beating (the skin might be irritated too) so you may want to choose a soft non-wired style to give your skin under the boobs a rest. I needed to wear a 36D for work and some days it was full to bursting! I strongly advise covering the swelling up the best you can otherwise it'll be obvious that you're up and down and your final will result will look like shrinkage compared to the swelling.
2. The box is plain black with a pink flower, a pretty damn big box but nothing embarassing. The bank statement and the letters / invoices and stuff they send just say "Brava LLC" and have the pink flower again so no mention of boobs.
3. I had a 2 week break and was still about 1.5 cups up on where I started. Now trying BB and seem to be bigger still.
4. Not sure about finance. I bought from the Brava company so I'd get the warranty bu their prices are a total of the bits you get then doubled just for fun - it's such a rip off! Maybe you could ask other girls like Seri if they can recommend any good ebay sellers. For hygiene reasons make sure you only buy brand new domes with the plastic still on the silicone cushions. Make sure you don't purchase an airlock online - you can make your own from fish tank tubes for about £2. I had the smartbox from Brava but still preferred the homemade airlock.
5. I would say it's pretty much 50:50 if you get much of a result. The more hours you put in the more likely you are to get a good result. Being too skinny (BMI less than 19) and weight loss while using Brava are supposed to make it harder. I lost 15 lbs and Seri lost loads and we both still got good results by putting in a LOT of hours. Definitely don't spend the money if you can't commit the time. Also the first week you'll want to bin it anyway because it's so itchy and uncomfortable but believe me it gets better. Eating a lot of protein and drinking a lot of water may help too.
6. I would say there was a small proportional enlargement of the nipple (not sure about the surrounding aureole bit) but nothing scary.
Feel free to ask any more questions or if you have a lot of time on your hands you can read through my very longwinded program page "Veggie NBE with Brava" - I won't be insulted if you turn that one down!
Good luck with it, I would say it's been 100% money and time well spent for me.

I think all your questions have been answered already but I wanted to let you know the trials and tribulations I went through with Brava...
The domes would not always stay on, even when I created the initial seal.
When the domes did stay on, they left me with a pink mark where the silicone had sat, which took at least 3 hours to go away. Bit embarrassing if you want to wear a low cut top to show off the swelling.
I also experienced blistery patches appearing on my skin, even with plenty of barrier spray, and often had to stick plasters on my boobs before placing the domes on them.
I didn't experience any growth at all, even after getting good swelling. Yes, you do get amazing swelling, no denying that one.
I used it for about 8 weeks, but it was virtually impossible/very inconvenient to find 12 hours to wear the damn thing. I think I usually managed 10.
