Hello everyone, I just got my NB and I am using it for the first time. I have a question: How long to you keep it pumped before you let the air out and start over? The directions say, to let air out and start again. Thanks for the info!

Pearl,

I've tried both (pump and release and pump and hold). I seem to get about the same swelling either way. Even with pump and hold I find I have to repump occasionally as I lose pressure over time.

Thanks Baby and Jen Jen. I seem to be struggling with just getting it airtight for 20 minutes. I hear they are coming out with a soft o-ring for the bottom near the skin, maybe that will help with the problem. Or is that what you girls do? Does the air come out all the time, making that fart sound?!

I had problems keeping suction at first too. Everyone on the NB forum said it would get easier, but I couldn't see how. Sure enough, it's no problem now. I'm not sure why. Maybe your skin gets stretchier and you get a better seal over time. At first I needed to keep my hands on the cups or wear a sports bra backwards to hold them. Now I can type at the computer with no bra. just keep at it! Oh, and I have the soft rings now, and actually find it a little harder to keep suction with them. However they are far more comfortable.

That is great, Jen Jen. How long do you use it for?

At a minimum, 20 minutes in the a.m. and 45-60 at night. I usually manage a full hour at night, and often get an extra 15-20 minutes during the day.
