hey look what I just found, a manufacturer who's selling silicon sheeting especially for padding vacuum breast enlargement pumps!
The sheet costs 20 pounds in the UK but looks like they will send to US as well.

Just a thought but has anyone looked at useing silicone tubing that has been split lengthwise? Here in the US it is avalable at places like fishing supply shops or dive shops, I have even seen it in 3' packs at WalMart in sporting goods. It could be sealed with a dab of silicone seal where the ends meet.

Funny you should ask that Kristin as I am just about to try that very thing. I've outgrown my Brava domes and am waiting on my NB XLs to arrive at which time I'll be using tubing that, when split, is about 1/8" thick, possibly doubled up. I'll be sure to post my results here.

Yoga mat - great idea!!
You can possibly buy similar in smaller size for baby changing but the yoga mat foamy material is what you need. They're probably really cheap too if you get it from the supermarket and although it'll get pulled out of shape you'll probably get enough for about 5 sheets out of the one mat. Make sure you use a very large piece as a surprising amount of the material gets sucked into the domes and make sure you leave about 1.5 - 2 inches in between the two boob-holes for the domes to meet in the middle.

wow louise you just made something clear to me that was so obvious - one sheet for both domes. here i was trying to find rings for each - like the rings they sell on noogleberry. so THANKS! haha i'm useless at this
i just hope the foam isn't 'breathable', my current one isn't but you never know with different makes........
my underbust is 28.5 and im using wide-large brava domes hopefully they're not too wide so that i cant get suction.
im ordering a new pair this week - but i'd still like to salvage the ones i have so that i can suction really hard with the old pair and be more gentler to the new ones....

I found the Noogleberry rings didn't work for exactly the reason they were separate - there was so little actual material that the suction just dragged it all up into the domes. A single piece is best but make sure it's really pretty big - at least about 4 inches should stick out past your armpits and at least 4 inches above and below the dome-holes. As much as an inch of the foam gets sucked in all round.

Save yourself some cash and use the yoga mat as Dandelion suggested. I've tested it out, along with several others from the NB forum, and it works great! Thanks again Dandelion.
