These measurements taken 12 hours after last session.
Last night after pumping I was almost 36 inches at the nipple and almost 9 inches across each breast. I was thrilled.
It has long been my goal to measure 36 at the nipple line. I don't know why exactly, except that the 'ideal' measurements for women has always been touted as 36-24-36. Now I know that is preposterous because it does not take into account the height of the woman and since I stand 5'7" that 24 inch waist line is out of my league. Yet, 36 seems achievable up top. I would dearly like to have a 36-26-36 proportion but I will likely have to settle for 36-26-37... that butt is just not going to go quietly into oblivion. It used to be reasonable, but now it has a mind of its own. 37 is actually still out of my grasp for the moment, but I have backed it off of 40 (gasp) and have wrestled it to 38. There is an uneasy truce... it hungers for Christmas goodies as we speak...
But anyway, regarding my breasts.... 36, 36, 36 ... I will let out a big whoop the moment I pull off that measurement. I mean - yeah, the 9 inches across actually are putting me in C cup territory at least as long as the initial swelling lasts - but that 36.... drooool....
So I bought a 34C bra in order to entice my breasts. I put it on this morning before pumping and lefty was all 'hey this is pretty nice' and filled the cup almost. Righty was all 'hello...hello... hello..." echoing into the vastness it didn't fill (actually not that bad, just a little more at the top would do it).
I plan on wearing this C bra after pumping. It is a front close model that has just a little padding. It pulls my breasts in from the sides and projects them forward. I have B cup models of this bra and it makes my gals look fabulous. I find when I wear this bra my swelling lasts all day long. I figure with the C cup model I will get support and 'direction' to help shape the breasts while maintaining the swelling without the compression of the B cups.
I can tell you I never in my life thought I would be purchasing a C cup. Yes it is still an 'achievement' bra, but I can actually visualize myself filling it. Back in 2006 when I first began my breast quest and was a nothing cup I dreamed of filling an A cup. I said just give me an A and I will be happy. Then A came along and now I have tossed out all those bras because the B cups fit better. Now just since June with suction method I am entering a point where those B cups are really filled and the C cups are on the horizon. Yeah, my cup of plenty is overflowing at this point.
Thanks to all you Noogle buddies for giving me the incentive to do all this Noogling. I am a slow, slow responder in a lot of ways, but with all or you sharing your experience and growth I have not lost hope and I am doing my suction twice a day.
Best wishes,
