I am so excited... received the package today, spent an hr reading and going through the DVD and now I have them on. I read that I was to put on for 8-10hrs so that means i take them off in middle of night but would it be harmful if i slept through it and kept it on longer than 10 hrs?
any advice?
Much Thanks!!

Yay! It is exciting to get going!
I wore the domes for fifteen hours a night the first week. Wear them as long as you can. Just be sure to use the no-sting prep wipes (which you can order much cheaper over the internet) and wash your skin with gently soap like Dove or Johnson's baby shampoo in the morning. Then use some Aloe vera or soothing lotion to keep your skin from getting too dry and keep free of any rashes.

Welcome to the Brava - club
We needed more members!
When I started I began wearing the system for 4 hours, then 6, 8, 10 and then 12. It is recommended to allow your skin to adjust to the silicone rims. Also I found it better because in the beginning it was hard to sleep with them on.
The first week is the worst, just remember it will get so much better! Good luck and keep us posted on your process

Welcome to the club! I'm in my seventh week without missing a night. The first couple weeks were the hardest. Now I sleep thru the night and I can get the domes on in about 5-10 minutes. Keep protecting your skin by moisturizing in the AM when the domes come off and keep us posted on this forum! Good luck.

Thank you all so much for the support!
It means a whole lot!!
i managed to last 9 hrs on day 1
but decided to take them off in middle of night after 9 hrs as it was very uncomfortable sleeping with.
Was very red, washed area and took advise with lotioning- i slabbed it on generously and by the time i got home after work the redness subsided and now i am system - Day2
ok - if i can make the first week then i am good for 10 wks... i hope
