Maybe I'm changing my mind about selling my Spectra - its too addictive.  (or is that why I should still sell it!)

I agree Spectra is definitively the best, I had a Medela, this is poor quality and awfully noisy. I use fenugreek oil to lubricate.
My goal is to come to lactation, so I'm using glandular BO to grow breast tissue and it's working very well. I have a noogleberry, this is a trauma device I really don't like it, I don't use it anymore. Spectra is gently pumping the breast, through the ducts, on the lobules of the mammary gland.
When I bought Spectra I was always using full force and full speed, as my breasts are growing and mammary glands are developing, I had to considerably reduce the power of sucking, it was unbearable, I'm now on 8 with the lowest speed.
No trauma for the nipple, the entire breast tissue is under suction and after the 30 min suction at power 8, the whole of my breast are red and hot which is very good to make BO working, there are no trauma marks on my breast after session. The more you grow breast tissue, the more you have to reduce suction power.
I guess my breasts are reacting exactly the same way as women when I'm pumping, except I have no lactation. Lactation is the ultimate goal to have perfect breasts. I'm not sure it's possible, those who succeed that it was to really feed their own baby. Now I will finish my bottles of BO to get maximum mammary glands, then I will try to initiate lactation.
Best wishes to all
