I've been pumping until tight and leave on for seven minutes then release and remove for two minutes. I repeat this for an hour a day and I've received very little results.
I use the gauged hand pump, so I pump until eight and over time it drops to 2.5 and I repump until it gets to five and after it drops down to 2.5 again, I just release for 2 minutes before starting the cycle all over again. I do it for one hour, then rest 30 minutes and then do another hour.
When I release, I don't completely remove the cups, I just let the pressure out until the gauge reads zero but when I rest, I do remove the cups.
I have tried the 7:2 method before but I did it one breast at a time and received some good swelling. I think that if we pump one breast at a time, there is more blood going to that breast then there would be if you were to pump both at the same time, thus better swelling. When I tried it on my left breast, smaller than the right, it became way bigger than the right one.
