--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so i wore the system for an averege of 14 hours per day so far.
1: after about 3-4 hours after taking it off all the swelling is gone
2: my nipples lose all sensitivity in the first hour after which the become too sensitive but at least they get back to the normal
3: my boobies turn reddish after about 2 hours after taking it off
is all this normal? how long does the swelling stay in the first week?
thx girls

that is completely normal. there is no real tissue growth the first 3-4 weeks. the swelling should last longer the longer you wear brava. also, it is normal for your nipples to be very sensitive/lose sensitivity. as long they come back to normal after a few hours you're fine.. if they lose sensitivity and stay that way i would be a little worried.

Everything you said is normal. the longer you wear the system (as in days/weeks) the longer the swelling will last. my nipples got extremely sensitive while wearing the domes, others lose sensitivity, and others actually get lighter in color, all normal, if you can call it that.
And the reason your breasts are reddish is because of the vacuum created by the domes, careful with excessive pressure, you could bruise yourself. good luck.

thx girls i was expecting that but wanted to make sure. 9 hours since i took the system off and my nipped still scream "do not touch" but they look normal at least. i don't mind inceasing sensitivity i never had it actually. i'm happy i addapted well to sleeping although i'm gonna buy some more pillows, and i also went out with it and nobody could tell so it's all good i can wear it 14+ hours. i'm only scared that even if i do grow after many weeks it won't last since i saw that many girls put up with brava for months with no lasting results. but i gotta try it right? i'll be optimistic
diana did u start wearing it constantly again?

No. haven't been wearing it at all. just been trying to clear up some marks that i had gotten due to really strong vacuum pressure. i really want them to go away so i can wear a bikini comfortably. i will be wearing it this evening and tonight, cause i will be going out tomorrow and want to look 'full' any more questions feel free to ask. the more pillows the more amenrtable and the less you move around so The less likely you are to lord suction. good luck.

21.05-12h
22.05-16h + 6h
23.05-14h
24.05-14h

Hi ya
I understand all your questions and doubts, I was there only some weeks ago...
Now when i look at the pics i took back then, i somehow understand the process...
I have been wearing this hell device for around 8 weeks now..
First days i will notice some swelling and i was impressed (coz never experienced anything like that before...trust me that is nothing compared to the swelling you will get in the future). But this swelling would go quickly.
as weeks and days went by, the rule was that: if i wore it less than 17 hours, i will barely notice any super swelling (i got used to the swelling from first days)...if i wore it more than 17 my boobs got huge, and i mean huge...once you have seen them taht way smaller swelling feels too small 9but reality is that it is swelling after all, tension and therefore steps for growth according to Brava mechanism)....this swelling goes down slowly...
Current stage..i believe my boobs are generally slightly bigger than they used to. swelling goes down by the end of the day, but always maintaining bigger size, than the original...since i work and stuff i barely manage a 12-11hours wear time per day, sometimes more, sometimes less. the swelling is simply OK.when i wear it more, swelling is so amazing that they do not fit in the medium domes i bought and i am going to buy new ones.
and then it is about keep going, just keep going, one week after the other, after the other..
feels like i have been doing this forever and it is only 8 weeks..imagine people that have been 22 and then think about whether you should expect any results soon...
i guess not.

thx for the reply
i understand that it's a long process and i'm prepared for that. i just want to know if i'm doing everything right, since from what i read you should get slightly more swelling every day or in my case it's already starting to go down. that's my concern. and i was wondering if it would be a good ideea to try more suction already.
good luck

wow diana. the swelling lasted for a looong time considering u discontinued long time ago.
i will be patient. at least brava doesn't bother me too much. but do you girls think it would be a good ideea to put in more suction to increase swelling at this stage?

I just wanted all the brava users that are using the so-called "manual suction" method that it is not safe. My husband is a doctor and he has made this clear to me. He says if the tension is too great then it is not safe for your cells. I guess that is why brava's pressure is regulated and we can not change the pressure.
I used the system for 10 weeks exactly and went from a small B to a full B. I stopped wearing because I was happy with my results (although I may put it on again in the future for more if i get greedy!) I stopped wearing the system nearly 8 months ago and I have retained my results and am thrilled

i was manually sucking the air out of my domes and when i told my friend who has previously used brava she strongly advised me not to. i told her to post it and its logged under my name!

at times it feels there is no enough pressure, but there is. And as they have said, too much pressure is wrong, it will traumatize your tissue. if the smartbox does not start beeping it is all fine!
When i said the being patient thing i meant it..I only started having important swelling after around a month of wearing the device..I know you hear people talking about full C and full D cups..but they have worn it for weeks and weeks.. YOU ARE DOING PERFECTLY FINE. Just keep going. In a couple of weeks you will get more swelling and retain more if it, so by the time you put the device on again, maybe there would be a little of swelling from previously, hence next swelling will be bigger..
trust me, the more weeks go by the bigger is the swelling (though in my case, only after 17 hours..as I said less than 17 hours might live me with small C cup, and 17 leaves me with D cup)..
But this did not happen until week 4-5.
