Well... here I am, Tiffany, the woman inside has finally found expression on the outside!
I am excited and also a little scared at the same time.
A little about me. For a long long (LONG) time I have had very feminine leanings, feelings, desires. I have felt since I was 14 that I am really a female deep down inside. Here I am now nearly 60 and actually working on doing something about it. I have had years when I would dress and apply makeup and even eventually got up the nerve to go out shopping for some frillies and dresses and makeup and the like en-femme but then I would think about trying to be more "normal" (oh how I have come to hate that term) and purge and try to be the person I look like rather than the woman I am inside.
I have been taking herbal phyto-estrogens for about 4 years now, off and on at first but for the last to years fairly steady. I can say that I have had some success. I was flat, I mean totally flat. Now I am about an actual A cup. Years of herbals and massages and reading and trying everything I could find short of surgical implants. Lately I have been reading up on bovine ovary and it's effects being more permanent and changing your body to produce it's own real estrogen. Is it too late for me at my age? Who knows but it is worth a shot!
I also read recently about some great successes using breast pumps in conjunction with whatever else you were doing so I researched them. It occurred to me that I could make my own, so I set out to see how difficult it would be. I now have two basic setups and I would like to share them with my sisters out there, not that I actually expect anyone to read these blog posts but you never know...
I bought all of the supplies at walmart! Fish tank air hose, 8 feet was enough to make two sets of "manually operated" pumps... well orally operated to be more precise (giggle) in addition to the breast pumping benefits I get practice sucking too! ;) Ok... a little humor there, hope I didn't offend anyone. A set of two aquarium connectors so that I could pump both breasts at the same time, then I bought a stack of four plastic drinking cups with about an 11 cm wide opening at the mouth. All total the bill for these materials came to less than $10! Drilling a hole in the bottom of the cups and attaching the air hose using silicone to seal the opening I then attache the two hose sections from the cups to the aquarium connector. The center of the connector has another section of air hose and it operates by sucking on the end of that section. Once the suction feels sufficient I fold the hose end over and clamp it with a standard alligator clip. Basic... yes, but I find I can even walk around the house with the cups suctioning my breasts and cook, clean or sit and read or watch tv.
So, time for pictures... here it is ladies.... :)
Next steps?
Well, I have actually managed in a short week's time to feel enough fullness develop that I need cups with a wider opening! Big Big girly smiles here. So I will be looking for, and experimenting with some alternatives. I have a "prototype" model using storage containers with a larger opening. Once I manage to get that working I will post here again!
If someone finds this out there in the sea of internet pages and you found this interesting, let me know!
That's it for now!
Tiffany... I'm here to stay now! :)
