Possible difference in Brava cup size?...

Hi All -

I just started using brava this week, and I've been adapting pretty well to wearing it, but I must say I am definitely encouraged by everyone on the forum the forum!

I do have a question for anyone who has been using brava for awhile: I ordered the sport system directly from brava, but over the past two nights I've notice that the right dome seems a little bit more snug than the left dome(there's more pressure across the top, and I seem to feel a bit more pressure on my right breast at times). It actually does look like my right dome might be a smidge larger than the left - is this possible and would that be the cause of this?... I'm mostly worried that my right breast will end up noticeably larger than the left.

I plan on calling Brava first thing Monday morning to get some feedback, but does anyone have any recommendations as to what to do in the meantime?

I've tried airlocking (to get a bit more suction in the left dome) and connecting back to the sportbox, but the pressure on the right still seems to creep back up after awhile. If I go to airlocking without using the sportbox does anyone have any suggestions as to what would be good to secure the tubes?

Thanks!

Most of us find the left dome sucks harder as the right dome's little oulet where you attach the tube is slightly blocked (this has been the case with all 3 sets of domes I've had from Brava). When you take the domes off put them cushion down in the bath to see if one is taller. Then put them base to base (try not to let them touch) to see if one has a larger base size. You'll probably see they're the same and the dome you think is smaller is because that breast is bigger. If you look closely one whole side of you body is bigger - one eye and ear slightly higher, one hand and foot bigger etc (it's more noticeable on some people than others). Most people have one boob bigger and usually the left. Because my left boob is bigger and the left dome stronger I always wear my domes the other way round as I don't want to exagerrate the difference.

I use a one-way valve (called a check valve) that is meant for fish tank tubing, I've pulled out the little plastic part that you screw into the box and just stick the valve in the tube. Otherwise you can fold the tube back on itself (ideally twice) and secure with a rubber band or a bulldog clip. It should be easy to find something meant for fish tanks, hair accessories or stationary that will do this for you. If you want the valve but are unsure if it will fit take just the tube with you and ask them (they have no idea what it's for, although the shop I went in only had one size and it fits).

Thanks for the suggestions. I checked the size as you suggested, and you were right - the domes seem even, so I guess that means it's a hole size/pressure problem...

The check valve sounds like an even better idea - it seems as though that would be less cumbersome than the sportbox (of course that's relative considering the size of the domes). I'll definitely grab one next time I'm at the pet store.
