Seri,
I know you got through quite a lot of domes, I'm going to need a couple more pairs in a few months time. Someone said that once you buy from Brava they will only sell you one more set - is this true or have you been able to buy several? I'm after a narrow XL and a wide XL - I know the XLs are hard to get hold of elsewhere.

I have got 3 sets from them so far. Not counting rma destroyed domes within 30 days. So i think as long as you space them out and dont buy 40 sets they will allow you to get more than one extra set.

Louise, i just post something relate to this. Brava told me that you can purchase 3 additional sets as long as you're registered user. I don't understand why they told some others that they can only purchase one additional set and told me differently.
Seri, from you experiences, what are the odds that Brava will send out defective domes. I'm a little concerned as they told me domes are not exchangeable if purchase thru bravaonebay. It's too expensive to keep getting new domes. thanks!

Do not really know why some of them break down faster. All of them seem to be the same basic manufacture however i have noticed that the new ones break down alot faster than the older ones did. I think they changed the silicone inside. It is not as firm as the older ones. So it tends to break down faster. Especially if you use alot of extra suction.
I have also noticed a consistent oddity. The right dome port for the tubing on every pair i have received has been smaller than the left.
Do what i call the water drip test and see. Clean your domes and then let the water drain from the hole. if it comes out as a stream you are good if it dribbles the hole is to small and does effect suction slightly especially if you sweat. And since it gets mighty warm in here sometimes that does happen overnight.
If your domes are like this take a small drill bit just slightly larger than the hole and slowly drill it out. you can do it by hand or use a drill. just go slow. to fast will melt the plastic not open it up.
As for my next session it is on hold. I just got a new tattoo on my left shoulder and the top of the xl-wide domes rests on the bottom of the tattoo. so taking a week off for it to heal. Well i will wear the right side since it is now smaller than the left.

Both my sets of Brava domes were slightly restricted on the right to so causing stronger suction on the left which was bigger to start with. Was nearly 1/2 cup difference at one point! Interestingly BB seems to have more effect on the right.
