Breaking in my band
I couldn't (and still can't) fasten my Wanilla on the first hooks so I broke out my extender. I've gone from needing 3 rows down to 2 rows. I can fasten it on the first set of extender hooks even though it's very uncomfortable for any sort of deep breathing. I'm determined to make this work though so I hope that if I hang out enough wearing it on only one extra row of hooks it'll stretch out faster. I might even wear it two days in a row if it means that I can break it in faster.
Edit: I forgot to add that I'm not going to actively try to stretch it until I hear back from Jaimie about whether the bra just runs tight or if mine had some kind of manufacturing error that made it run tighter (ie, whether I'll keep it or return it-if it's just the way it is I don't feel the need to replace it but manufacturing error would need to be corrected).

why don't you just wear it with the extender? I do this with my comexim mint because its so tiny in the band.. you just need to get used to it but after some wear you don't realis its there anymore :) (And if it still feels too tight with one extender you can start with2^^)
How small is the band at present and how much bigger do you hope to stretch it? I really would not advise you to stretch it out a lot and wear it in that stretched state for the lifespan of the bra. I'd use an extender permanently instead. You can even sew it in place :-)
