Who's had unsightly marks e.g. bruises / red patches / rashes / lumps etc? How long do they last and how long do they take to go away?....I bruise really easily and really want to be bigger but not sure if its more or less attractive if they look like they've been through the wash!
Thanks again, sorry to be a pain xx

There are no bruises with Brava, just sores and rashes where the domes rub against the skin. Yuk! How long do they take to go away? I wish I knew. Maybe they won't ever go away while you're still using Brava.

Takes a few hours to a few days. Using a good hydrocotizone cream with vitamins and moisturizers in it tends to make them go away quicker. I sometimes get raised welts and even open sores if i scratch the area where the domes have irritated the skin. reposistion the domes and get some liquid skin to cover any open wounds. Try not to use to much suction as that will incrase the chance of this happening. Even brava says don't wear anything low cut for a few hours after removing. If i just have redness i use foundation and powder to blend so i can wear something low.
187 days into brava 2776 total hours of wear as of noon today 14.84 hours per day average. Need to go to a clients so will need to take em off for a few hours. Will get a few more in tonight. Trying to get the average up to 15 hours.
good luck

when i started i got a lot of rashes/welts and even blisters! but i stumbled on this amazing product called corium 21 and the rashes are all gone and fast! www.corium21.com
also i noticed for me that i don't need to shower right before i wear the system. if i do i tend to get blisters because of the friction between the silicone and your skin. your skin works so hard to produce oils in your skin to protect it for a reason. i also noticed that it helps keep my domes in better condition. i've been wearing my extra large wide domes for over 5 weeks now and they practically look new compared to my large wide domes which looked really used after just 3 weeks.
