No no no! It wasn't sarcasm
I found it funny that you are so committed to helping that you come and prompt me to noogle ;D I was not offended at all.
I generally agree that there are some patterns that work for most people, but I think none of them work for everyone. I always try to track the science behind things and this conflicts with it, but it just seems that's the way it is. Some have grown with 30 min noogling, some with 1 hour, some with 3+ hours. Some haven't grown at all. I got most of my growth by noogling 2 x 30 min per day and when I started doing 1-2 hours, I didn't notice any improvements, quite the contrary. That's why I've been reluctant to try 3+ hours.
Yesterday's pumping session didn't go as I planned... I fell asleep! I first pumped 2 hours with the medium cups, then I had to take a break to walk my dog and prepare some food. After that, I went to sauna (I now have my own, most homes in my country have a sauna) and tried hydro noogling with the CLs. I had high expectations with the heat and water combined, but my swelling was worse than with the M cups. After sauna I kept pumping while watching TV. At some point I fell asleep and maybe about 45 min later I woke up with the cups almost off. I was so tired I wasn't even interested in the result, I just went straight to bed. I think I noogled at least 4 hours with the separate sessions combined. And yes, I did take the cups off every 20 min.
But my best swelling was after that 2 hour session with the M cups. Didn't take a pic but it was much like in that previous pic. But it was mainly because my nipples were so big and protruding. That doesn't happen with the CLs. I can't pump as much with them as with te Ms and they seem to block the circulation. At some point the CLs start to pull my ribcage instead of my breasts and my breasts don't enlarge in them anymore. I don't know why, maybe they are too wide?
