It is best to prepare two cotton towels for alternating use to maintain moisture and heat. After applying heat for about 15 minutes, start massaging. The massage technique is: circular massage. Place your hands on the upper and lower parts of the breasts, close your five fingers, and push forward in small circles, slowly massaging from the base of the breast to the nipple and nipple along the growth direction of the breast. Move your hands clockwise and continue massaging until the entire breast has been massaged.
