Just bought bosom beauty 2012, aka "better than brava"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi everyone! I hope I didn't make a big mistake, but I just bought one of "knock-off" machines. I should be getting it in the mail late next week, hopefully. I wanted to try Brava when it first came out, but the doctor told me I was too small for the domes to fit on my chest. (I think they might have more sizes now.) When I found out about the Bosom Beauty recently, and learned that it would be able to fit my petite frame, I got so excited I went ahead and ordered it. Now I'm starting to wonder whether I jumped the gun. I can't help but be hopeful, though.
It sounds like there has been some controversy on this board with a seller posting multiple positive comments about it -- my question is, is she the only one who has said anything good about it or are there anyone else out there who has had success with it? I want to learn more about this thing before I actually use it. After reading Fran's experience with blisters, I want to be extra cautious. Does anyone know of any more resources I haven't found yet? TIA!

Keiyah is a real user here who reported positive results.
When I ordered my Brava I did the breathe right out and meaure thing and I was about 26-27 inches inframmatory measurement, they said I would be too narrow and may not be able to get the domes to stick on (I think you need to be 28.5 minimum) but I ordered it anyway and have had no problems - started with narrow large and have also got narrow XL.
Let us know how you get on, I may be interested in giving it a go after I finish my Brava cycle. Ideally if you could create a personal program page and note how long you use it each day and what setting and your measurements. Are you taking herbs?
Good luck x
p.s. it's really strong suction so the first time you do it you need to use a really low setting and maybe take off after 10mins and build up from there. You also will be more comfortable if you get something like this:

And cut two boob holes so you stick your boobs through the sheet into the domes and the domes rest on the sheet to stop the cutting into your skin. I have recently had a rash from Brava caused by too much suction for too long hours and I know others have had the same so try not to overdo it!

Thanks Louise! I have about the same underbust measurement as you! I have to go back and read your posts again to see what else we have in common. I can't wait until my machine comes!!! I am definitely going to start slow because because I'm Asian and tend to get hyperpigmentation (injured skin gets discolored, and ends up looking like age spots). I'm not taking any herbs since I take prescription meds, and am worried about interactions.

I have a personal program but it never occurred to me that anyone else would read it so I'm afraid it's very long and boring! I wanted to record every little detail so I could look back later. I'm white and very very pale skinned. I was worried about skin problems but I have looked after my skin carefully and only had one rash (my own fault for overdoing it) and it's pretty much gone now. Keep us updated as to how you get on!

I got the machine, and after two sessions, I feel hopeful. I didn't know what I was doing at first, went a little overboard, and got some hickey-like marks, but I think I've figured it out now. I think I will start a program page to record my progress. Wish me luck!

Jane, how are your results with the bosom beauty?
I just ordered one, I hope it arrives soon!
Thanks,

Hi Alexia! I'm taking a break right now because I got blisters last time I wore the system. I'm not positive, but I think it's because my pores were clogged. What happened is that I decided to try covering my nipples with little circles of moleskin because I was afraid of the areolas getting bigger, but I took them off because the suction was too strong for them to stay stuck on. I used rubbing alcohol to try to get the adhesive from the moleskin off, but my skin was still a little tacky afterwards. Thinking it wasn't a big deal, I went ahead with the session, and at about the 40 minute mark, I noticed what looked like beads of sweat forming on my skin. Well, after another 10 minutes, I took off the domes, and found out that they weren't beads of sweat, but blisters! There are two areas where the skin broke before I realized what they were. Hopefully they won't take too long to heal, and won't leave marks. I'm going to wait until they're better before starting again. It's a disappointing setback since was really enjoying the swelling (I measured about 1.5 inches last time). I can't wait until I can start again! Have you gotten your BB yet? Make sure your skin is clean before using it, so you don't make the same mistake I did!

Jane, I'm sorry to hear from your blisters! 1.5 inch swelling is nice, how long does that stay? Mine didn't arrive yet. I just looked at some pictures from users and the redness looks awfull to me! I'm starting to regret ordering it.

Don't worry too much, Alexia. It really isn't that bad. Just don't put the suction up too high, and if you see anything that looks or feels out of the ordinary (like beads of sweat), stop. I received my BB before I expected it (mine came with hardly any instructions), and was so eager to try it that I didn't review the info in the bosom buddies board before jumping in. I made the mistake of using the second port instead of the first (much stronger suction), and ended up with hickeys. They faded in a few days, despite the fact that I kept using the machine. I tried with and without silicone padding, and actually prefer without, but that seems to be a very individual preference. At first I had a hard time getting the domes to hold, but I was trying to place them so that the centers were right above my nipples. After some experimentation, I found that they fit the shape of my body better when the domes were touching between my breasts (side by side) rather than apart (as they were when centered over nipples). The better fit allowed me to lower the suction a bit from where I had it originally. The swelling gradually diminished over the course of the day, but I still had a little before starting the next session. Remember to start slowly, with 10 minutes. Even with just that much, I was very impressed with the swelling I got my first time. (So was my husband.) Remember that even if BB ends up not being for you, you will probably be able to recoup a good chunk of your investment through resale (especially since it doesn't get old with use, like Brava, which has silicone that loses stickiness over time). That's my reasoning, anyway. You have very little to lose, and a lot (hopefully) to gain!

Jane, thanks alot for the encouragement, you made me hopefull again
I'm currently taking natureday and had some results with it in the beginning, but my growth slowed down, so I hope the bosom beauty will give it a boost. I hope it arrives soon. The website said between 3 and 5 business days, that would be between tomorrow and friday. Do you have a program page?

Alexia- I was going to start a program page, but I had this little setback before I got around to it. Do you have one? This is the first time I'm serious about a BE program. I bought herbs for massage several years ago, but didn't really stick with it (I was lazy).

Hi Girls,
I see you are interested in the BB system, I use it and am pretty happy with it. I loke the swelling, but too soon to tell if it will lead to growth.

I am one of the people who bought Noogleberry, and I have tried every vacuum enhancement under the sun. Noogleberry doesn't have as intense suction as the Bosom Beauty, but at least it's not painful and you control it. Also you can use it over twice a day. The idea is to exercise your breasts, just like how tissue breaks down when you exercise and rebuilds when you rest. I'm not sure why Brava insists on using the system for 10 hours per day. I gained an inch on the Bosom Beauty and that was using once a day for eight weeks.
