kgr132; Congrats and Welcome to the Brotherhood ... The pain you feel when pumped up is normal and will take quite a while before you don't notice it. It's easier to pump until uncomfortable (rather than painful) ... wait a while then pump some more. You will also find you do not need to "max p...

Guys ... forget the facecloth and such and use a "rice sock" ... it's cheap and extremely effective. Take an old sock fill it 2/3's with rice ... tie the end off. Now when getting ready for a pump session ... put the sock in the microwave for say 60 sec. (adjust time as needed) and test. Y...

Grayfox, Just to follow up on what Jim said ... what kind of pump are you using? ... Yes the amount of vacuum makes a difference. Since the pump is your last resort ... build yourself one like in the image = about $37 at Amazon (links below) ved-small.jpg Typical cheap but effective pump ($14) http:...

Lost Sheep, I wonder about the lengthening being used by surgeons who habitually undersize the implant and count on the lengthening to prevent the "SST" or "floppy head" syndrome. I doubt this is the case at all ... "floppy head" is rare and is attributed to poor surgic...

Lost Sheep, I do not understand the length measurement you describe. What's not to understand ... AMS advertises in their literature a 18% (possible) increase in length for the LGX cylinders. The 18% amounts to about 4 cm or 1.5" The AMS 700 LGX provides controlled length and girth expansion th...

I guess it depends on who you ask ... a URO who specializes in ED rehab, or a surgeon who specializes in Implants ... For me I lost several inches after robotic prostrate surgery ... my (local) URO had me start VED prior to surgery ... I was able to regain all that I had lost with daily VED use ... ...

mtnbiker, I know AMS claims that you can gain up to 20% Girth with the LGX The LGX does NOT claim to give you 20% increase in girth ... but rather in length. AMS LGX penile-length measurement between deflation and inflation is 1 to 4 cm (4 cm = 1.5748") AMS penile-girth measurement between defl...

Lost Sheep,
I would say that max pumped or 100% is not needed for sex (tends to be uncomfortable) so between 80% and 90% works best (for me) but I do NOT notice any "cushiony" ... anything less and the shaft tends to bend.
