Silly putty to seal the cups????

[Nadir]

Hello again,

I have seen on another thread (related to another suction device to get larger lips) a user that mentioned the use of silly putty to keep the suction sealed....

I wonder if anyone has used it withh success....

If you don't know what this is:

Sort of a playdoo, but with another consistance, more like liquiid plastic or silicone.

Any thoughts?

I had soft rings but they stretched out and now the cups are starting to press against my bones, which REALLY hurts. I thought I had to do something to relieve this pain. So I got some playdough (my son's) and stuck it all around the edges of the cups. I was able to pump for an hour without even noticing I had them on! I had no marks or anything. The only thing with the playdough is that it sticks to the cups. I am thinking the silly putty would be better because it wouldn't stick to the cups at all.

So, today I went out looking for silly putty or blu tac at Walmart. The blu tac they had was not enough to put around both cups so I left it. The playdough stuck to the cups, so I left it too. But then I seen this nonstick stick stuff called Model Magic. It is okay but it doesn't stick to well to the cups, although it gets the job done.

I am pretty skinny and the bare cups rest on nothing but bones, which is why I had to get kind of cushioning going on. I think I may go back to Walmart today and buy some playdough and mix the playdough with what I have now to make it stick a little better. I actually don't care if it stick to the cups, because I would wash it off every so often. I think I will just leave the playdough/model magic mix on the cups and just remold it whenever I need to.

Keep us posted!

I have the exact problem here. My ribs do really hurt when pumping....
I wish I could get something to fix this that actually work. I am thinking of getting some liquid silicone at the edges to help me out..... I wish I could get silly puty at my country!

Perhaps you could try palydough? Or look up recipes online on how to make playdough?

I tried this model magic thing and it doesnt work as well as playdough, because it is a non-stick product. I need something that will stick! So I think I am going to buy playdough and mix it with the model magic, so I didnt completely waste my money!
