I can imagine how exiting it is after 13+ hours wearing the domes... and what is disappointed when the breasts are shrinks...
I still not start using the system yet, but I'm worry I don't know if I can make it 10 hours++ a days, I have 2 little babies... I work until 10-11PM in the evening, take care of the kids at night, get up early to work, to take my first child to kindergaten... I seem busy all day and work tired at night... And I'm not easy to sleep at night as well, and as I foresee the system will may bother me at night, get more difficulty sleep... I don't know...
Will let you know about my progress once I start wearing the system,
Have a nice day,
Jen
Brava is a bit of a commitment, but there a couple of things that are good news. Firstly, I know that Brava people say you're supposed to wear it consecutively 10 hours, but due to a few social obligations I've done a few days where I wore it for a few hours during the day and then put it on for about 6 or 7 at night. The swelling seemed about the same. Brava instruction booklet has this nifty little chart that shows what happens when you don't wear the system for 24 hours+ or only wear it for 7+ and it basically shows that you don't get enough swelling. I actually think that breaking it up during the day works even better than doing 10+ hours at night as far as the swelling goes. I'm not sure what that means for growth, but I think the two are directly related. The drawback with doing that is the pain in the butt of putting the domes on and taking the off. It probably wears the silicone too, but if you gotta do it you gotta do it.
I'm a really really light sleeper. I couldn't sleep my first night, I had to take a pain killer because it bothered me so much. Second night was better, after a week I can sleep just as well as I do without it. (I have a curved foam pillow for sleeping on my back and it works great). Also having a pillow under one of my arms really helps to relieve the pressure, plus a pillow under your knees. It sounds involved but it works.
Good news for brava is you can cook, clean and do whatever while wearing it.... Hugs are tricky though
When you remove your domes, you want to wet your fingers as you easy the silicone off, it helps to keep it from getting damaged, and go really really slow. I messed up one of my domes a little the first night I used it. It doesn't effect the performance, but it's no longer perfect. I figured out the water trick my second use.
Good luck and I hope this helps.
