Just had to post. After I purchased I found a very negative forum for Brava and was very discouraged. I am happy to say that so far my experience is good. If there is anyone considering it this may help you decided. I am a AA cup. After breastfeeding 2 what little I had was "deformed". My right side was caved in and smaller than my left. I had recently worked hard to lose weight and get in shape only to lose more in my chest and make it worse. I am in week 5 and starting to see promising results. Of course in the AM the swelling is great (full B) but by the time I put the system on again I am retaining at least a new more attractive shape (somewhat same size on both sides and not collapsed). I do also see some growth. I am going to try and reach a full B permanently. Will keep you posted. I have been lucky to have no reaction to wearing the system. I wash with baby shampoo then apply prep wipes then domes. When I take them off I immediately spray them w/ dome cleanser let them sit for awhile and rinse. I shower or wash the breast area right away. Had some itching and used cortisone to clear up right away. Sport box and domes are still functioning well. Sleeping the first night was terrible and I thought there is no way I can do this but after that it became easy. I am really not even aware of them during the night anymore. I try to wear the system for a minimum of 12 hours a night. I know this is long but I just wanted to share some positive. I think it is true that Brava is not for everone. You have to be pretty patient and desperate. I think the women that are happiest are the ones like me that had so little to start that anything is an improvement. Anyway. Good luck to all!

I'm sure if anyone is determined enough they would get used to wearing it in the end. You just have to stick it out at the beginning when it's really difficult to get used to. I think the question anyone thinking about Brava should ask is whether they really think they can commit to it. A lof of the brava on ebay which are new or nearly new are being sold because someone bought it and then found they just couldn't commit to it. It's all about whether someone can really make that commitment or not.

it was the beginning that was the worst, getting used to it and structure your life around it, but after a couple of weeks i was used to it and it became like a part of my daily life. When i stopped using it, it was weird didn`t feel confortable sleeping on the side like i used to before and had to get used to not wearing it. I meen that if you want something hard enough you can do everything.

hiya all brava users,
i bought my brava system a year ago and keep putting off wearing it. i wore it for 2 weeks when i first bought it but had some spots that looked like they were getting infected where the suction pad is. i also have a mole on my breast, when i purchased it from usa brava the sales person said it wouldnt touch my mole but it seemed to puff up, has any one else had the same problem, i have also been surching the net for another pump enlargement that you do not have to where as long. has anyone had any dealings with alternative brava like pumps. thanks in advance
