hi t-bug
i guess i can relate to you.. im petite as well... i have a 28" ribcage (i guess when you say ribcage, you're pertaining to the underbust measurement isn't it??) .. i have stopped noogling for almost 2 months.. (due to personal details..
) anyways.... i started with the medium domes as well, and after a month i transferred with the large.. ( and upto now, im still with the large hehehehehe) ...
.. so believe me, i can empathize with you.. i also was not able to fit it.. hte large didnt seem to fit.. at first i thought my chest was too small for it... but it would fit soon... dont worry... as usual, the noogle would want you to try every technique possible and see what works for you... when i first tried on the large ones, my ribcage hurst so much i cant pump... so lucy sent me the pads.. unfortunately, when i pumped on it, i really couldn't feel anything, thus i overpumped and for the first time in my noogling life , i developed petechiae
!!! thus the end of pads for me...
but dont worry, i did figure out something.. what i did was, i pumped first with the mediums until i got my utmost swelling ( which was about 10 mins later)... and then i tried the large domes.. and.. voila!!! it latched on!!! ;D
i have already ordered the xl domes with lucy, and it did arrived, and i had tried noogling with it.. and i did pump with the large first, and hten the xl's.. and it latches also.. so dont despair.. the large domes would fit your chest... and in the future, so will the xl's...
and just want to let you know, despite my small ribcage , i can put both domes on (even the xl's) simultaneously...
although, at present, im back to noogling with the large domes.. you see, there's still a teeny tiny space left.. and honestly, im sort of afraid with hte xl domes.. they're just freaking huge... it's been 3 months going on 4.. and im still on the large ( although i did took a nearly 2 month breather) ... so i just want to savor my time wiht the large domes for a bit..
... so sorry.. didnt mean to print an essay!! ;D
but i just want to reassure you that those large domes will fit your chest.. good luck.. and keep us posted of your results!! cheers
oh and by the way, make sure that you are well oiled or lotion... before you put on the large domes...
