I have been using FACIAL MICRO-CUP SET and it works fine. The only minus that the part of the cups that being inserted into the pump is short and the cups might get disconnected from the pump easily. A workaround for it is to support the cup with the fingers of the second hand. Once I figured it out, I did not see any other problems, and using both hands gives more control for cupping.

I have not used it long enough to see skin tightening results, in addition my skin is pretty tight. I use it as a massage after FE and they compliment each other nicely. The skin after cupping feels warm,and looks rosy. I like it, and feel that there is value to cupping.

Sorry, I've been preoccupied with other things and haven't used the facial cupping kit for the face yet. But I have used the cups on specific congested acupuncture points. I love having the kit! and know I will have fun experimenting with it.

The other positive about getting the facial kit is it comes with diagrams and detailed instructions (most of which I typed up and posted here - sorry don't have a scanner so can't post the diagrams).

I don't know if glass would work / slide better. Glass would probably be better if you are mixing essential oils with your massage oil as some essential oils can degrade plastic. I'm afraid I would drop and break the glass cups (when they're made available on that site that said they're "coming soon"). Embarassed

*********
Regarding Toby's question about the vaculifter. I haven't found anyone distributing it here in the U.S. I did contact the company in Germanywww.methatec.de and they will sell and mail to the U.S. Perhaps we in the U.S. don't have to pay the VAT because the company sent me an invoice for 41.60 Euros + 20.00 Euros S&H = 61.60 Euros total. I haven't purchased it but enquired to see what the cost would be.

You can purchase the Vaculift from German Ebay. They don't have Paypall so you have to TT the money. The price is EUR 49.95.

Needless to say, I had to get one. I'm a huge fan of OCM so I intend to use it with that - I'll let you know what I think.

Keliu,
In discussing the vaculift, if you get it on ebay and they don't have paypal, what is TT? How do you go about paying for it?How much is shipping to the USA and do you need one and two sizes?

Hi Toby,
TT is telegraphic transfer from your bank to theirs. Its a bit of a hassle - I'm still waiting to hear from the seller that she has received the money. I originally wanted to buy from Vaculift's website, I ordered the product from them and they have the same system, you have to buy using TT. However, they wouldn't give me the name of their bank and the account name and my bank wouldn't send the money without this info. They gave me their bank account numbers and said it was all I needed but my bank wanted this other info - maybe its just something that banks in Australia need. Anyway, I couldn't get the money to go through so I ended up purchasing from Ebay. Because I had to use TT it cost me a further AUD$24.00 - big hassle. The postage cost EUR 18.00

I only bought the 2cm cup size for starters.

I only paid the money yesterday and I'm still waiting for confirmation that the seller has received it. In the past, when I've purchased from Ebay, items usually arrive in about two weeks.

Toby,

Is katerlady2002 the Ebay seller? Can you PM me a link to this seller's Ebay site? (I know you don't have enough posts to post a link to the site)?

Yes that is the ebay dealer. But if anyone is wanting one I may have ordered two by mistake. I was trying to get the two sizes for the face and may have ordered two of the same Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

Hi everyone,

I have just tried to order one of these from this seller, but it is asking me to input the amount of postage and packing. Did anyone else have this problem, and if so what did you enter ?

many thanks

I think for one it is 12 Eur to USA. I order two different sizes for the face and it was 15. I emailed the seller to get the amount and then I had to put it in to the shipping area. With ebay here in the US it is automatically put in.

Hi Toby,

thanks for your reply. I worked it out in the end, by trying to decifer the German for Great Britain. It is automatically put in on British ebay aswell, so I had a bit of a time trying to work it out, but got there in the end,

thanks

We will have to compare notes on our results with this new device, I was really impressed with the video I saw on the vaculifter site.

how often do you think you can cup yourself?

I just got mine today and it took awhile to get the hang of it. The cup kept falling off -but then I read a post where it helps to hold onto it.

Its been about 10 minutes and my face feels lifted... Its a little red - but I dont have the rings on my face at least.

I ordered from massagecupping.com. I got the $25 set.

I saw a few facial cupping sets on ebay for cheaper - but wasnt sure about them since the "pumps" were different and no one here mentioned using them instead of the bulb. (not that I read anyway) I guess Im going to continue using it daily - until someone tells me I shouldnt. Smile
