Got to look at one of these things once and as I remember, it looked like it constantly pressed down on the nipples, stopping the flow like you can do by pressing your hands against your nipples during an unwanted let-down. Don't know what that would do to you long-term, but several people have posted from time to time saying that it works quite well. Has anyone encountered problems?( plugged ducts and mastitis come to mind).
