Hey secret,
I tried something a little different today and my nipples seem to have tamed down!
Make sure your boobs are dry before putting the plasters on, then leave them on for at least 10 minutes so that they adhere to your boobs better before putting on your cream/oil and noogling. I found out that as long as the bandaids pop up and gape (as in you can see edges of the bandaid lifting away from your boob), it means that your nipples aren't being "restrained", and will still succumb to the pressure and expand..
I know my tip is pretty obvious, but before, I didn't bother with wiping off all the cream and drying my boob after massaging (I massage with cream before noogling), so maybe you might be like me, lol!
I hope this helps! I'll let you know if I still notice any growth in my areolae and nipples!
