Jus so u can breath in an out with out it hurtin at first mine was barly touching then as the swellin went down u can put it tighter, it itches so I put tissue in the front where the Velcro didn’t meet, I have pics up with it on hun I only took mine off last nite wen I seen the surgeon iv had it on for 6 weeks xx

i have been wondering the same thing!! the nurse said yesterday i should be just above the nipples which means it has to be pulled tight to stay in place which is starting to feel uncomfortable! and if i loosen it it sldes up so dont know if its actually working properly or not, confusing!!! xx

mine will not stay anywhere near my nipples – it slides up! Will try and keep it as low as possible, its driving me mad already! stacey – think i’ll try using tissue, i need it under my arms, it irritates under my arms. I cant bear to wear a top with it neither so been sat in the house with breasts out! lol! my kids find it quite funny and i actually forgot they were out wen my parents called out!!

Haha my kids have been laughing at mine sayin mum your nipples are really pointed they look really silly lol. How long has Mario told u 2 wear yours for? He told me 2wks but i pulled my face so he said a wk haha thank god getting fed up now just want a comfy bra on! xx

I have to wear mine for 3 months to get my left boob down. This is very hard as my right doesnt need it and I am scared it will push my right one down too far. 😥 Im trying to wear it as tight as I can with a hairband making the right side thinner and at and angle. I wear the tops of cut off sports socks with the band through them to protect the areas that rub. Good luck girls. xx

I have mine for two weeks and managed to move it a bit lower altho it is a bit painful, puts more pressure on the newbies! All for a good cause I hope! Can’t wait to take dressings off and have a good look! X

awh julieanne 3 months, god i feel for you!! im sure its gona be worth it in the end though so hang in there huni!! im only wearing mine for the wk thank god but iv been thinking the same about it flattening them at the top, i wanted quite a bit of fullness and roundness at the top and there isnt much so im panicking that its going to flatten them is that likely to happen does anyone know?? i really hope not!! xxx
