If you want to use an airlock making it yourself is v v cheap, you need 3 small pieces of 6mm (1/4 inch) fish tank tubing, a T connector and a one-way valve (called a check valve), attach the bits to make a T shape, attach the two horizontal arms to the domes, suck the air out with your mouth and stick the valve in the vertical tube. I've done this for quite a few weeks and it's been fine but after a couple of months the tubing is less elastic and the valve fits less tightly so I just replaced the vertical tube. You get this stuff from the aquarium section in a pet shop - it's supposed to be used for fish tanks! Some supermarkets have it in the pet food area.
My domes are no longer sticky (week 18) but otherwise in good shape. I need to suck them on quite hard to get a good enough seal to move around and do cooking and stuff, and I've never lost theseal over night thank God!

Many women who use Brava end up thinking it was a total waste of time and money. It's not like you're the only one.

If you expect immediate results from brava you are going to be very disapointed. Read the rest of the posts on the forum there is alot of information here.
I have in prior posts described the method that worked for me to get brava to stick and seal without loosing suction till the domes start wearing out.
You seem to have some issues. IE: going to shot myself because I can't figure out how to use this product. Simple answer call brava or read or ask someone here that has used the system.
Getting depressed over something this simple is silly. If what you are doing is not working then try to put them on diferently. Everyone is unique. And brava if you are very small around the chest wall is rough to keep sealed.
Best word of advice i can give you is go buy a better sport bra. The brava one works if you use the medium domes but once you go up to the larger ones it gave me nasty rashes under the arms and was way to tight so the domes put alot of pressure on the sternum. I went to jc penny and got a racer back zip front sport bra in a DD size and have used it for almost 10 months now. keeps the domes in place and i stick the smart box in between the domes. Not as elegant as the brava bra and can't see the domes outside but it works.
And i have tried it all with brava. done the airlock done the water filled domes with the airlock. And went back to the smart/sportbox. I have for years slept on my tummy or side. And for the last 11 months have had to sleep on my back. So i have had to make adjustments to wear this system. As everyone else that has done so.
If you want instant gratification and alot of pain go get implants. If what you are looking for is a bit larger. Then brava may do it. Seems to work for most women who put the time in. Don't expect gaining a 32DD from a start of a 32A from the system just won't happen.
My expectations for brava: Even out both sides and gain 100-300CC.
Results so far. Left is still a bit larger than the right. I will when i get to the end of my mega session wear the system only on the right for a couple weeks longer. Or make 2 airlocks and do uneven suction on the right.
I have filled out alot more but have not gained much projection. So yes they are larger but not much farther out from the chest wall. That is the only thing i can complain about at this time. And i started with barely an A cup. Only reason i wore a bra was to pad it or use the heavily padded ones to make it look like i had something. Now I can wear a C cup and have some cleavage with a decent pushup bra or a D with the little silicone pads inside and have great cleavage.
Brava is all about commitment (And yes some of my friends say i need to be committed) take the time to try the system if you do it may do atleast something for you. If not you tried.
As a wise critter once said. "Do or do not... there is no try."
So do it. or send it back simple. If you atleast put the time in and it does work for you. When you look back at this you will smack yourself for being childish.
Sorry for the rant. It is just that i have little patience for silly behaviour. You are an adult life is hard. Deal with it.
As of 10 AM Nov 2 2007 i have logged in 4840 hours with brava on my chest.
15.27 hours per day average over the last 317 days that is 45 weeks 2 days.
635 hours left to go. or 27 days if i do 24/7 which is not likely to happen. I intend on getting a few 24 hour days logged however. but i have 7 weeks left before the year with brava is over.
So good luck with yours.

Brava told me my ribcage measurement was too small to get a seal and yet I've been wearing it for 18 weeks and never lost a seal while sleeping. The first couple of weeks are horrible though and I really feel for you. I didn't have much to show after 12 hours until about week 16 then suddenly I noticed a difference. Using the airlock allows me to move around, bend forwards, reach arms up etc without domes falling off and I don't usually bother with the bra as it pushes the domes towards the middle and hurts my sternum. At night try sleeping with 1 or no pillows under your head, 1-2 under each arm and 3-4 under your legs - you can't roll over like this. Or you can make a chair shape in the bed with 1-2 under each arm, 1 or none under the knees and 3-4 behind your back to keep you sitting up, I usually sleep like this now. Also if you're using medium or possibly large domes you can put 2 pillows under your chest (between the waist and the domes) and then leave a gap for the domes to fit down and then use 3-4 pillows under your face and sleep face down with the domes in the gap - this allows you to cuddle the domes with your arms and hold them on. You'll probably need to experiement. I can only say it was the cost of brava that stopped me binning it in the first week but really glad I stuck with it - keep at it!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seri, wow if you 300cc they'll have to cut the domes off me! I'm going to use water displacement in a measureing jug with the silicone fillers I have to estimate how much I've gained. If I can get 100cc in 6 months then a bit of fullness with massage, herbs and booby food in the 4 months break, then another 100cc in another 6 months I'll be pretty satisfied as a standard implant is 200cc and I've got a pretty small frame. I think that maybe some of the people who haven't been satisfied haven't worn long enough or don't appreciate in terms of cc volume and body size as a lot of the very small girls seem to have got maybe 2 inches (and most people who've gone past 20-25 weeks seem to have something to show). I've seen 38D bras in shops and they're scary! Just can't relate that to my body but guess you're really tall - really hope you get the boobs you deserve.

Maybe if your grammar improves.
And saggy tits are a small sacrifice to make in the big picture of having a child... I understand why you're upset about it, but it's not the end of the world and you're not gaining any respect from anyone here by acting like it is.

If you read this forum before you bought Brava, you would already know that it often turns out to be a disappointment. Therefore you should not react so strongly because it's not working. You knew all along that there was a good chance it wouldn't be successful for you, but you went ahead and bought it anyway, so that's basically the chance you decided to take. Someone said earlier than only 30% of women get results from Brava.

Brava can work if you are persistent and consistent. It takes a lot of patience and commitment. If you are just saggy and want to fill out your breasts it could work for you. You will need to stick with it and wear it every day to have the results. Take pictures so you know what you used to look like. Growth is VERY GRADUAL. You probably won't end up with what you look like with morning swelling but you could have the potential to fill in the emptiness from pregnancy since the skin has been stretched. Take the time and read through the previous posts from this forum and you will gain quite a bit of useful information and probably many of your questions and concerns will be answered without others needing to repeat much of the information regarding questions that have been asked before. Take one day at a time using Brava. It does get easier. Good luck.
