I didn't get any hickey marks when moving to the XL's but the first couple weeks, when I pumped, I think it was pinching a nerve from the flesh it pulled in near the armpit area cause my arm kept feeling funny. It's hard to explain, kind of like the pain/weird feeling you get when you hit your "funny" bone, that's the feeling I had, but it was only if I moved a certain way. But after a couple weeks that went away, I think it just took a little bit for my body to adjust to the new wider area being sucked lol. And I agree with Cheryl, the XL's are HUGE!!! LOL. I don't think I'll need another size up. Oh also I think maybe I didn't get hickey marks because... I used the L's for 30 min before pumping with the XL's the first month I used the XL's. I still do it now sometimes, it helps prepare for the bigger suction area and you get more of an outward pull from the L's than the XL's at first. So the L's will give the outward pull and the XL's give a wider pull. Hope that explains it well.
