Does Breast Pumping Really Work?
While many of us want decent looking real boobs, many of us too shy away from hormones and herbal concoctions. I don’t think I need to explain why this is, but suffice it to say that for some of us the journey to larger breasts doesn’t include this approaches.
This really only leaves a couple of choices: pumps and body shapers being the main ones.
If you happen to already have sufficient body mass on your chest, a body shaper can really work wonders as a temporary fix. But obviously, such products are only effective while wearing them, if then. . . I’ll discuss these further in a future article.
So what about breast pumping? Now for the sake of clarity I’m not here talking about breast feeding pumps. Instead, we’ll focus on cups you put on your breasts and then vacuum pump them to enlarge the target areas.
Generally, I would have to say that breast pumping does work, but don’t expect a quick result. It is likely to take a very long time to achieve your goals, but there are some real advantages to that. Now I should say that before breast pumping I was flat as can be, with very small nipples. I also am rather slender, so there wasn’t much to work with in the first place. Nevertheless, I have been able to go from basically zero to nearly a B-cup, though I must emphasize that this took more than a year of very regular pumping.
Here’s what I would recommend as a basic plan. Do keep in mind that any form of suction on your body is going to leave some indentations around the target area. Don’t sweat that. . . it will go away. But don’t be a fool and use these products for hours on end. When anything hurts. . . Back off. Tomorrow is another day.
The Steps I Used:
- Don’t rush out and get breast pumping stuff immediately. Instead, you want to enlarge your nipples. This will make pumping more effective in my experience. My personal favorite product for this is Supple Nips.
- Start small, with say a size 1 or 2. Soon enough you’ll be able to get to size 3 and up. These little suction devices are comfortable and highly effective. You can wear them for quite a long time and believe me, they WILL increase your nipple size. TIP: If at any point the stretching (because that is what they do) hurts. . . remove them. Otherwise you’ll get blisters. That’s not dangerous, but you do have to allow a blister to heal before your next session (of course). But these products, made of silicone, really work and some claim to wear them all day. . . Just be smart and don’t overdo. Beware: your nipples will enlarge and stay that way if you use these products for an extended period. I personally wanted that. Up to you.

Hog nips in action.
Next up the ladder are a product called Hog Nips. These can be thought of as super large Supple Nips. These soft, silicone suction devices stretch a much larger area than the Supple Nips. Similarly, some report being able to wear them for hours. Same warning as earlier: go easy. These products will extend the area around your nipples and areolas, however, the effects are rather temporary at first. I like to use these now just before I do my serious pumping as they kind of give your boobs a warm-up before the heavy stuff
Breast Pumping
Be advised that there is a lot of junk out there for breast pumping. Cheap cups will not last. If you’re really going to do this, get high quality cups.
The most often recommended product out there is the Noogleberry and if I was starting out I’d go for the Noogleberry Medium Airlock Breast Pump with a couple of important additions.
- Medium rings (a MUST)
- A single tube
Why the extras? If you recall, I mentioned that all suction products WILL leave an indentation. This isn’t so bad with the Supple and Hog nips, but it positively hurts when you do full on cup-based pumping without the rings. Believe me, they make a huge difference and are will worth the additional cost. PLUS they really help to get a solid vacuum seal.
The Noogleberry pump.
Why the single tubing? Trying to hold a pair of breast cups to your chest and at the same time pumping to get a seal is ridiculously hard with two hands. Instead, pump one breast with a single tube and then add the other. Once they’re well sealed you can use the double tube, but really I doubt you’ll want to fumble much with it.
What’s nice about getting the vacuum airlock type cups is that you can quickly remove the pumping stuff and just have the cups on. I mean, do you really want to walk or sit around with a pair of breast cups and a pump hanging off you?
I actually combine Noogleberry products with a pump I bought separately and thanks to the airlock system they all work together well. . . but do NOT forget to get those rings!
The Pumping Itself
Again, don’t be idiotic. Don’t try for huge boobies right away. Don’t pump so hard that your boobs turn purple! Go for a bit. They’ll redden as they expand. That’s fine, but don’t pump so hard or so long that you get purple boobs. . . you can really hurt yourself if you do that. A few minutes is PLENTY.
I really recommend that you don’t exceed 5 on the pump scale. Certainly not at the beginning. It will hurt like hell, even at that lowish level, especially if you go on for more than a few minutes.
Again, a little pain is alright, but don’t go overboard and give those boobies a REST. I find it’s actually better to go for just a few minutes, then come back for a few.
But Does All This Effort Pay Off?
Indeed it does. But, this isn’t a quick process. It may take you, as it took me, a few years to increase a size. Though it took far less time to enlarge my nipples.
But there is an advantage: The effects of pumping are temporary and long-term. For example, when you pump, your boobs will pretty quickly increase in size, mostly from swelling. The swelling will go down after an hour or so, depending on how much you pumped. So for all intents and purposes you’ll get back to your original shape after a while. HOWEVER, that original shape will be a touch bigger than it once was. I have noticed ZERO shrinkage back to my totally flat shape. Again this takes some time and you need to be patient, but if you need to have your “man chest” back (for whatever reason) this is a good thing.
With vacuum breast pumping you are stretching your boobs and their muscles. Working them out if you will. I haven’t noticed any stretch marks, instead, what I’ve noticed is when I’m not wearing a bra or shaper that my chest is fuller and my nipples hang down a bit, I do have to wear slightly looser shirts, but I don’t mind at all. And the sensitivity increase to my boobs and nips is just wonderful.
Is Pumping For You?
If you want quick, permanent breast growth, NO, it’s not for you.
If you are patient and want to slowly increase your cup size, and it is slow, then YES. And pumping coupled with wearing a good bust shaper will definitely give you a bust line . . . at least for a couple hours.

I have been using NoogleBerry Breasts pump for about 8 months and I pump at least three times a day. I have some shape in my breasts thus it is working. Unfortunately, I had to stop for about a month to six weeks as the surgeon had to remove a cancerous tumor from my right breast, and I also found a swelling in my left breast, so I had my first mammogram but lucky for me I am now cancer free in both breasts. Now I am back using my breasts pump again and I also use the large nipple sucker. I love it when my nipples are hard and sensitive, I just can’t keep my fingers off my tits.
Hi…I bought a cheap breast enhacer pump,and I use some creams and oil with pueraria…and I’ve got now 75B cup (europe) I was copletely flat…so far so good working …and Im thinking going on Pueraria tablets…I heard they do work…at least my wife does not mind…she knows about me being a crossdresser…she buy me heels and undies,we share make up,it is fun going out clothes shopping ?…next step to share a blk guy…lol so I can not complain…??
I’ve used my brava cups for 10+ years. I love them!.. I am currently a 36- d… given I did have a few years on hrt… now I just pump.
Have just invested in 1 and thoroughly enjoying it however how many times a day can you do it I’m thinking once in the morning and once at night for about 20 to 30 minutes.
Sure that would work ok, Just use common sense: if it hurts too much, STOP
I’ve been tossing around the idea of purchasing a breast pump normally used by lactating women. Any thoughts on if that might work on MTF transgender to grow my breasts?
