Hi
I just thought I would record my details as a starting point.
Age - 48
Bra size 38B (but it does not fit at all well and looks too similar to the domes i.e. lots of space.
Children - 3 nearly grownup and I breast fed them.
Top of breast 40
Nipple 45.5
Below 40
Pumping history - I started with Brava but could not get the domes to stay on due to my shape but the smart box comes useful. I now use Noogleberry domes which stay on fine. I have been pumping for 1 – 1.5 hours twice a day for the last 5 days and have had no change other than I fill the domes more quickly. Early days! I have felt encouraged by reading posts and just need to give it a try. Everyone I have spoken to says I should save my money because it won't work. What is there to lose? And my husband is enjoying the humor of me trying to do housework and other tasks at the same time. Now that is disability. I make Mr Bean look synchronized.
My motive is that I want to fill my bra properly. I have always had very small breasts and had a real difficulty in getting a bra to fit well. Recently I have put on weight, due to my work being more pc based these days rather than active, and my breasts actually look and behave like breasts which my husband and I are really enjoying and I would be devastated to go back now. Who says size doesn't matter? Oh, I remember, it was my husband. Nice man but caught out now. Anyway, it matters to me so here goes…
