HI !!!!
To answer your question as far as taking a hot shower,
Yes it won't hurt anything, in fact I know it will help reduce
the red rings that you get from pumping.
Try to apply some heat before pumping, as i've found thru
some others ideas, It will help with the swelling.
Pump and hold; pump till you just feel pressure, and then hold it.
re-pumping about every 10 mins.
Pump and release; pump untill you feel presure, then release
some of the pressure (not all) Some will wait 10 min or so with pressure
then release for 10 then repump. As long as you want to continue doing it.
What works for me, might not work for you. Go slow and find what works for you.
Stay safe, and have some fun!!
The boobie fairy is comming to see you soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
