My bad, DoubleZero is the discount code.

Any updates on this?

First off, I’ve been skeptical about this method from the jump, and honestly, I still am.

I'm 27, and my rib cage is likely pretty "stiff."

When I wake up in the morning, the indentation seems slightly shallower than before.
However, if I don't wear the Vacuum Bell for more than 24 hours, the indentation actually feels deeper than it was even before I started using the VB (maybe I'm hallucinating; I took my old pre-VB photos at a bad angle)

Overall, I'd rate my progress at a 2/10 so far. Not impressed.

I usually wear it for about 2 hours a day, maybe 1 hour depending on the day.

I'm trying out a technique from a guy on Reddit who wore it exclusively while sleeping, but falling asleep with this thing is tough—I'm working on it. That'll be my next update, probably in a month or two.

When I apply the VB, the chest lifts up, but the second I release the vacuum and take the VB off, it sinks right back in (maybe a tiny bit stays lifted, but it's hard to tell because the skin swells, so it might just be an illusion)

Along with the VB, I hit the gym regularly and stretch semi-consistently, focusing specifically on chest stretches. I try my best to fix my posture and sleep on a firm surface (following advice from a Redditor who successfully fixed their pectus)

I'm definitely not quitting. I told myself I'd give it 12 months of consistent use before making a final call.

The VB is 19cm.

I spoke to a guy who swapped his 19cm for a 25cm one to get more surface area, but he said it's too "shallow" and doesn't provide enough space to actually lift the chest, so it was a huge pain for him.

Conclusion: there is perhaps a very slight, temporary improvement in the early morning hours immediately after waking up (which gradually disappears throughout the day)
Some people have more flexible rib cages and see massive shifts within a month or two—unfortunately, that's not me.
