Full definition

on low suction to begin with.

the lowest suction level.
Personal Grade — not a specific designation but usually used to mean
a lower suction level, open or closed system, FDA approved as a single - user, limited pumping hours (usually 300 - 500), and available to consumers directly through retailers and DMEs (Durable Medical Equipment suppliers) usually with a maximum suction level of 25 — 300mmhgs.
Start by pumping at
the lowest suction level and increase until it becomes uncomfortable, then dial it back one setting.
If you experience discomfort,
lower the suction setting or adjust the number of cycles per minute.

a lower suction setting).

the lowest suction at first (remember: you're not trying to vacuum your breasts off your chest), and then increase the juice when things get moving.
