Kat, I think most of us have the same problem as you starting out with the XL's. If I recall correctly I was using the XL's after 6 months into NB, so I used them a good 6 months before my break from NBE. I can tell you this, the first month or two with the XL's I had to prepump with the L's first. What I did was I would pump with the L's for 15-30 min, and I would fill the L's within a couple of pumps, like within 2 mins, so alot quicker than you, so you can still get use out of the L's. I would then put the XL's on once I got some swelling from the L's, this was the only way I could fit the XL's on my breasts and them stay. At first I couldn't get both XL's on at one time, then once I was able to get them on I had to hold them in place, put a big t-shirt on over them, The t-shirt was big, but tight enough to hold the XL's in place so they would stay. also I tied the XL's together with shoe strings for a while until my breasts grew more closer together. That is why I have the cleavage I do now, trust me, my breasts use to be alot further apart! Now even after 6 months with the XL's I barely filled them, like my nips got to the 3-4 inch mark (each of my XL's the measurement thingy is different, so it's 3 inch mark on one, 4 inch mark on the other, weird I know) and my breasts only touched all the way around on the sides to a little under the 1 inch mark to a little above it. So as you can see, I didn't fill them at all. Even starting pumping again now, I get at the same marks. I doubt I will ever completely fill the XL's, and that's fine with me. I think I would get to a big size before I fill them lol. I don't even want to imagine the size I'd have to be to fill them completely lol. So yea, just keep doing whatever you're doing and eventually you will grow outward, just the width growth comes first with the XL's. Hope this helps.
