I have found a new padding solution that is the greatest!! Well I can't say I found it, actually my husband figured it out, built them for me and everything!! What a sweet guy huh?!!
The padding that came with them didn't work for me. I couldn't get suction at all. And pumping without padding hurt pretty bad after about 20 mins. So I couldn't pump for very long. And the more days I pumped the more sore I got on my ribs. (Only took 4 or 5 days to figure this out.) So my husband went on a qeust, you could say, to find me something comfortable so I could pump more. ( I think he's as eager as I am to get these Jigglers growing ) HEE HEE!!
He finally found some padding. 1/4 inch thick, closed cell upholstry foam padding. VERY SOFT!!! You can find it at any apolstry shop. My husband got a huge piece for like $3. It'll probably depend on the place. I'll attach some pictures so you can see what it looks like. He cut three circles, different sizes, and glued them together. He made it so the lip on the cup is kinda sandwiched inside the foam. Don't need to glue the foam to the cup. I liked that so I can take them off for easy storage. I'll post measurements of the circles if anybody is interested in making them. For gluing the foam he used contact cement. You can find it Ace hardware or probably any hardware store.
I can get suction really good and it stays pretty good too. I haven't used the airlock, so I don't know how it works with that, But I would think it would work really good. Also my use of cream or oil has been cut in half. Only the residue after my massage is left and it still works wonderfully!!
Well I love my new padding, thanks to my wonderul hubby!!! Hope some of you will find this helpful. I know Noogleberry is testing a new foam, and it looks very similar, but if anyone is interested in the mean time while noogleberry is still testing here are some pics.
