hi everyone...i just got the system today and have had it on for about an hour now just experimenting. and i am finding that the sportbox keeps coming on like every 10,15 minutes. what's up with that? i am checking and don't see or feel any leaks. i am wondering if this thing is too big for my chest. according to brava's sizing chart, i needed a med wide, but i'm wondering if i need a med narrow instead as i am about 30" and wear about a size 32-34a bra. i would hate if this is the case cuz they are too darn expensive. anybody have any suggestions??

Technically greater than 29.5 inches underbust requires wide and AA-A would be medium so what you've got sounds right. Brava initially told me my underbust was too narrow to use any domes at all but have had no probs. If you feel the domes becoming more comfortable then the box kicks in this it to keep increasing the pressure as your swelling fills up more space. You'll know if you've lost the seal as the box is fairly weak anyway so less than that and they'll be falling off. Also you usually hear air puff out or it makes a loud fart noise. Sucking the domes on tigher gives a better seal and now you've felt how hard the box sucks you have an idea of how much to take out.

ok, so i think it was just the machine making them suck on tighter or something as they were getting more comfortable. cuz i didnt hear the loud noise that happens when you take them off. so i guess i wasnt losing suction. i only wore them for 2 hours today just to experiment with them. so i guess maybe that will happen in the beginning until they are sucked on as good as they are gonna get. i'm gonna put it back on in a minute tho for some more hours when i go to sleep. i got all my pillows all set up and ready for me...lol. now i just hope i can become a back sleeper! hubby is laughin at me. he said that i look like the terminator with super boobs! lol. i dont think i can pull it off wearing them outside. i felt funny going into the laundry room in my apartment building!

I agree with Louise. If you lost the seal, they would be falling off or making that lovely noise. My sportbox usually comes on a few times during the first hour and then once or twice during the night and then if I wear it longer, it will kick on again after about hour 12. It usually only runs for a short time and then shuts off while adjusting pressure. If you are using skin prep wipes, make sure you allow them to dry 10 minutues before applying domes. Sometimes I can get a seal in less than 5 minutues and sometimes it takes longer and then the alarm goes off and I reset it and try again. If you run your hands along the sides against your ribs while holding the domes in place trying to get the seal it won't take as long. Good luck!
