Aim4c, Thanks for checking up on me! I decided to try to make myself wait a month between pics and measurements so that I can (hopefully) really see progress. So.... a month will be the 28th.... and I'm crossing my fingers that there is growth there!
I pumped with the medium domes for about a week, but was getting a ring that lasted all day. I wouldn't say it really looked like a bruise but the ring was slightly blue, so I figured it *was* at least a light bruise. Then I decided to look at padding solutions to see if that would help. I tried the foam pipe insulation and it worked, but the reason I went up to the medium rings was to get rid of the big gap between my breasts and make the base of my breasts wider, and the foam rings kept the domes pretty far apart. Plus, I realized that the foam shrinks the diameter of the cups so much that it really kinda defeated the reasons I got them. So, I took the foam off and tried just trimming off the sticky edge of the foam and attaching it (kinda ends up being like weather stripping).... and that feels comfy, but I'm not able to get good suction. Now I think I'm gonna just peel everything off and use them as they were.... just haven't had time to do it! Been way too busy with school. But, I've continued pumping with the smalls for the time being.
I bought a two piece swim suit from Victoria's Secret and am soooo excited to have a little bit of boobage to show in it. (I think it was one of Anastasia's posts that made me try VS and I am so glad I did!) I haven't had a two-piece for probably 15 years... and definitely nothing that shows the boobs. This little swimsuit has a bit of pushup that makes the most of the slight cleavage I have now. I am going to a pool party with some old high school friends next month, and now I can't wait!
Thanks again, Aim4c.... I've been reading posts here and it sounds like you're doing great! You are being a great "cheerleader" for lots of us here.... hope that means some wonderful boob karma will be coming your way!
