In between sessions!

OK i know the sustained tension thing is meant to be what we need but do you think short in between sessions are worth doing? There have been a few times when ive had to go out in the evening so knew i wouldnt get a particularly long session through the night but have put it on for 2 or 3 hours before I go out. Do you think it is worth putting it on, even if its just for a short time, if i get the chance between doing other things? My thinking was that it might just prolong the swelling a bit longer so you get more out of the full session later...Any thoughts?? x

I would say I'm about 80% sure this would help as long as it's in addition to not instead of at least 11 hours per night, like you say to maintain swelling. I don't see how this could negatively affect your progress so worst case scenario you're wasting your time. I'm averaging 15 hours per night at the moment but because I work there isn't 15 hours between going home one evening and starting again in the morning so really I'm doing 12-14 hours during the week and then 17-20 hours on my days off to make the numbers up - I feel this is probably less effective than 15 hours every night but it's all about doing your best. I don't think you can say that doing a six hour session twice in one day is the same as a single twelve hour session but I don't fully understand the mechanism of how growth occurs - it may even be more effective to say airlock really tight for two hours, remove for an hour, wear for two hours etc all the time so that you're never losing swelling and your skin still gets a rest - I can't do this because I work and it's only a theory...
