Paige, email them and ask. I gave my milk pump away so don't have one to test it. But I would think if you can attach the tubes it would work, but I'd email and make sure.

Okay so we went shopping today and I bought a 34C bra and panty set just out of curiosity, the panties of these sets fit me cause I wear a medium or 6 in panties. I've always been bigger bottom wise. Well I got home tried on the NON padded 34C bra and it fits! I can't believe my eyes a C bra actually fits without looking horribly huge on me! It has a small gap in the cups but not horrible, it's not even noticeable, kind of like how my B bras use to fit, which are now tight. Only thing with the C bra is it has lace as the band and on the sides (I wanted a pretty one to grow into) and the band is a lil loose, but not much. So I think a couple more months and it will fit perfectly. There is a little room in it to grow and all. I'm so excited!
Also I bought a cute tank top the one that has the build in cup bra, I got a medium as that is what I normally wear, and the cups are a lil tight! I have never had that happen with those kind of tops. Normally the cups are a lil loose and I normally sow padding in them. Well now I don't have to, my chest looks great without it in it! I might take pics and upload them later for everyone to see.
And I don't even have my large domes yet! I know when I get them it will push me into a full C cause it looks like I'm a full B small C now! (and for those wondering this is probably not noogleberry's fault for the slow shipping of the domes, I'm on a Military base in Cuba and it always takes weeks for things to ship here no matter where they are sent from) Hopefully I'll get the new domes next week, keeping my fingers crossed.

You go, girl! ;D I guess we're after the same exact size--full C, no? That's great! I'll prolly be feeling just as you are once I hit my goal too. Even when I reach a 'B', I'll be happy cause then I won't need to use inserts anymore. Yeah, upload some pics when you can. It'll gimme an idea of what to expect.

Congrats on the new bra! I can't wait to wear a non-padded bra! Found a thread on using the breast pump with enlargement pump domes...thought it might help. I also e-mailed noogleberry to find out for sure if you can use the medela pump. I'm kind of hoping, because just buying the domes would save a bunch of $$. www.network54.com/Forum/371678/thread/1209946008/last-1210384275/Louise,+Jellyboobs,+Kieyah,+BB+Users

They aren't a full C yet without the swelling from pumping, but I can wear the 32C bra after all the swelling is gone without it looking ridiculous, so I'd say I'm a full B/small C.
And glad you found that out FlatMama, I don't have a milk pump anymore but sounds like a good idea. If I still had mine I would have tested it and seen. I would think as long as the silicone tube can go on it it should work. Keep us updated on how it goes! I know I think the pump has helped alot with my routine, but I'm sure it's not for everyone.

Okay so I measured today before pumping and it had been 24 hours since I last pumped and I'm at 36 inches! Oh I hope it's permanent. I feel alot fuller. But I can still wear my B bras, but I'm flowing out of my push up B bras! After I pumped I was at 36 1/2 inches. So maybe 36 inches isn't a C for me, at least not a 34C, cause the 34C bra I have is still a lil loose. So I'm not going to stop until I'm a full C dang it!

36" and still not a full C?! Huh? Wow, it might be because of your overbust (chest) size then. If you're like around 33" or so, then you're still at a big B/small C. If not, then it could just be the shape of your boobies. That's why it's good to take all 3 measurements, you'll get a better idea of what bra size you really are. At the very least, your growth rate is getting faster it seems! That was another inch in a month, if I'm not mistaken! I'd still be happy lol. I'm pretty sure you'll hit a full C soon enuf!

It might be the shape. I have that classic slope shape lol, it's not as bad as it use to be but it's still there. And I have big nipples from what I seen on other females. My areola is big. Like most women I notice theirs are a dime size, mine is bigger than a silver dollar lol. I measure at the nipple, so that might be it, I'll measure other areas before and after pumping to see.

Hey, I feel ya. I've got big areolas myself. I don't like that on small boobs. Maybe once they're bigger it'll look OK, but darn they take up like 1/3 of my breasts right now lol! But yeah, good idea to check the measurement above your bust. I like to use [deleted] I think it's pretty good.

ShyBoobs, that calculator has to be wrong, cause it's saying before any BE I was a 34AA!! I couldn't even wear an A lol. I wore 32B's. And as of right now it says I'm a 34A in the US and 34B in UK, that has to be wrong, I can fit good in my nonpadded 34B bras, but I'm overflowing in my push ups now. And it says to be a C I need to be at 37 inches around the bust. So looks like I'm going for another inch! I'm 34 inches above the bust though from where it said to measure. I'm 29 inches under bust. And when I measured before pumping I was 35 1/2 inches, so maybe that 36 inches was swelling. But I know it will be permanent eventually.
I think I'm going to order a liver cleanse, colon cleanse, heck might do one of those complete cleanses. Then after I'm done get back on the herbs and see if that helps. I might fast as well. I never fasted before but I guess it doesn't hurt. I have done a liver and colon cleanse before. I could use to lose 5-10 pounds, so maybe if I fast and do a complete cleanse that'll do it.
But yea I wouldn't trust that bra calculator hun, go get measured by a professional at a bra fitting. If I were in the states I would. But I know how bras are suppose to feel, so I'm going to go by that. I now have 3 34C bras and I am determined to be able to wear them!

Bra calculators aren't always the best. They are just general measurements. According to one, I'm a 34AA, according to another, I'm a 32 A...neither of those will fit. A 32 band would be better for me, but the B cups in the 32 are too narrow so that would mean I'd have to go up to a C and that's so hard to find. So yeah, go with what fits.

O OK, wow. Lol I don't even wear my real bra size anyways since I'm wearing inserts. Well I won't be depending on that anymore then. Since it coincided with my boob size when I checked, I thought it was accurate. My bad. I'll go get measured once I grow a bit more.

FlatMama, there are a few places online that sell 32C's and 32D's. I think I could wear a 32C. As my 34B's are getting too small and my 34C's are a lil loose. I think Frederick's of Hollywood sells 32C's and 32D's and so does Victoria's Secret. But if they don't have them I know I seen some on Amazon.com and there are other sites I'm sure if you search. Right now we are paying off bills or I'd order a 32C just to see how it fits. But also I'm determined to fit into the 3 34C bras I have, so to me ordering or buying smaller bras than that would be pointless. On the 1st when we get paid again I'm going to order a complete body cleanse and I'm going to fast for a week. I'm going on a juice fast. So hopefully that will flush my system, and then once I get back on herbs they will be more effective, if not I'll use what I have, do another cleanse then start BO.

I decided to go ahead and stop taking the herbs for now. I am continuing to pump but only taking a multivitamin. In a few weeks I'm going to fast then do a cleanse at the same time. After that I might start back up on the herbs or I might start up on BO. I know for sure I'm going to start taking some collagen to maybe clear my face up.

Just in case anyone was still wondering about using the medela pump with the noogleberry domes....I e-mailed lucy and she said yes the pump would work...just need to buy the domes and tubing, and if you wanted to make sure if it worked first...buy one dome and test it...then buy the other.
