So I'm not breastfeeding, my boobs are starting to hurt and get really hard and are leaking, how can I reduce all this?

Wear a tight bra always... I even wore a tight bra with a tight sports bra over it to "dry up" faster. Only take it off to shower. Don't let the water in the shower directly hit your boobs and not breast stimulation at all. Should dry you up in no time!

Would wearing just an ace bandage super tight all the time other thn when showering work,?
And do u kno if an ice pack would help any?

Yea I'd say so.. anything that keeps em tight should do the trick! Ice pack may help with the pain but not to dry you up. I don't think it'd hurt though. They use to give pills to dry you up back in the day now they just tell ya tight bras and no hot water:( just use whatever you have to strap them bad boys down as tight as you can!!!
