Question about noogleberry

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
O.k., girls. Last night I decided to put my domes back on for an hour, with as much pressure as I could stand. I wanted to see if they would swell a little, and if they did, maybe I would try that every day. Well, with that amount of pressure, I got what many of you complain about, the rims felt like they were rolling in. I could tell that amount of pressure would ruin the domes pretty quickly. After 1/2 hour I couldn't stand it anymore, and I took them off...it was scarey. It was like my boobs had died..they were bright purple! (how can that be healthy?????) The color died after about 15 minutes but my boobs weren't swollen at all, just purple. So I won't try that again.
My question is, when you girls use noogleberry, are your boobs purple like that? If so, I am not sure it is the answer for me. I don't think I could stand an hour of pain and "purpleness" every day, especially if the color lasts for a while, and then you have to be careful that your clothing is high enough to cover it.
Bear with my curiosity and questions, I have never considered using anything besides brava up until recently, so I want to know what I am up against if I order it.
One more thing...to get growth or even good "fluffing" do you need to use it every day (kind of like Brava, is it useless unless you are totally committed to at least an hour a day? ) I definitely couldn't use it every day...especially in the summer, I go away for a few days at a time to see family with my kids.
Thanks!

Hi Stacey
You definitly should'nt be getting any pain or purple boobs. That's way too much pressure! All you should be feeling is "tugging". When I started I did'nt get any "sustained" swelling for at least a week or two. That's pretty typical. Also it's very subtle. They start to feel a little heavier. You noticed your bras feeling fuller. It takes a long time to see them looking bigger in the mirror. In fact you get used to it as you go along so they tend to not look any bigger. They sure feel different though. I get the best results when I use it three times a day for an hour each time. That's when my sustained swelling increases. I can keep my size steady, however, by using it thirty minutes a day, missing the odd one here and there. Your best bet would be to try and use it on a regular basis for a least a month. Then you will probably (not everyone does) be able to tell if it will work for you or not. Otherwise you're not really giving it a chance and you will never know for sure. Everyone responds differently so it's all one big science experiment! m

Stacy,
I have only used the noogleberry pump with Brava as a replacement for suction and withing the course of my Brava journey. I have no clue if an hour of suction everyday will create any sustained swelling in me once I stop. After all, I have barely gained an inch after 12 hours at 25 weeks! It might be a long while before NG will allow me a pumping-up that will work a few days per week!
With that said, I have a very limited range before the Brava rims roll in. I could definitely create more swelling and my breasts would be slightly read (not purple) if the rims did not start to roll in, but I can only go so far. That's why I think the domes without the silicone are the ones used for Noobleberry, since larger swelling than Brava is required in a short-term usage.
I don't know. I might rip the silicone off my oldest domes and see if it works.But, there would definitely have to be some padding.

This morning, at the end of my Brava session, I had decided for the last half hour that I was going to pump as much pressure as I felt reasonable to give my boobs a little boost. Well, I didn't even pump as much as I could stand and my breasts and the nipples turned dark purple (almost black looking). I got alarmed and immediately took the domes off. Boy, they appeared just like Stacy described - almost dead looking. I won't do that again.
So, I have a question. When I put my Brava domes on and pump with the NG pump, even though I pump hard, I don't start getting noticably large swelling until about five hours in.
If that's the case, how can women use Noogleberry for half an hour and get their breasts good size? And, when I take off my Brava domes after an hour if they are positioned poorly or full of sweat, I certainly don't have much swelling. So I don't get how 30 minutes to an hour will do anything to maintain swelling throughout the day once I am done with Brava.
I know it must work because the NG forum has many happy people, but is it because my breasts are still naturally so small?

I know what you mean Roakie. I have to have my brava domes on for a good long while to get any swelling, yet an hour or so of Noogling, and the swelling is much bigger than I get even after 12 hrs brava. Its hard to understand until you try it, but I think it must be something to do with how you suck a LOT more flesh in to the noogleberry domes due to how lubricated your breasts and surrounding skin is (you need to put a lot of moisturizer or oil to make a good seal). I notice that with brava, because of the sticky edges, it can only suction what's already inside the domes, so its not as easy for the skin and tissue to stretch, and the difference with NB is that it pulls all available skin and flesh into the domes, and stretches skin from between the breasts, to under your arms. You fill the domes right up, and I mean flesh pressed right against the edges of the domes, whereas with my bravas, it just looks like my nipples are being pulled forward. It just works very differently, but it's very powerful.
With all this talk of them though, when I get home from my holidays (I've been doing brava while on a long road trip), I'm going to break out my noogleberry, and start doing a session before brava, and let you girls know if it accelerates things...

That is a great explanation, tr1gger. You know what? I am going to order a set of NG domes and start doing a small session before Brava or during the day. I have so much empty space between my breasts that maybe it will encourage some more tissue growth over my bony sternum.
By the way - when you order the whole system, is there any little attachment that is meant to go between the tubing and the pump, or is the tubing a different size (larger) so it is easier to push on the end of the pump? Or, does everyone struggle to get it pushed over the pump end like I do (especially when I can't see without my glasses and it all looks like a big blur!)

ha, yes, it's a struggle to get the tubes on the domes (even though the tubing is in fact a little bigger). I leave the noogle tubing permanently on the domes, otherwise it requires boiling water to soften the tubes to get them over the dome connection.

But what about the tubing onto the little nipple end of the pump? That is where I struggle. Is it meant to just push on there or is there something akin to the little contraption that fits on the top of the smartbox (the piece I lost!)

no, the noogleberry is a far more primitive contraption, I'm afraid. nowhere near the dollars spent on research, development and manufacture the brava had. it's a matter of warming the tubing in hot water and jamming them on. the 'nipples' on the domes are about the same diameter as the on the pump, only the plastic isn't quite as smooth, so it's even more difficult to get it on. I just leave the tubing on mine. theres no need to take it off, really.

Does the noogleberry cause so much stretching of the skin that you worry at all about sagging breasts or stretch marks? I certainly don't need more of that! I am ordering the NG domes today but want to make sure I don't overdo it!
Also, it looks like the NG domes are much smaller than Brava domes. Am I right in my conversions that a medium dome is only about 4.5 inches wide?

yes the medium domes are smaller than the bravas. I haven't heard of anyone damaging themselves yet (aside from a bit of hickey marks etc). I'm sure you would feel it if you were doing too much damage.
