Deflate procedure with AMS 700

Postby oldbeek » Thu May 17, 2018 4:00 pm

I am just getting started. Deflated last night, then woke at a 4 am with it hard again. Did I read somewhere that after deflating I need to hit the pump (get pop) one time to lock the pump to prevent auto inflating? I am having a problem with swelling lymph nodes in the reservoir region that may be squeezing the fluid back to the cylinders

Oldbeek,
I think that is true. Mine sometimes seems to slowly inflate through the day if I don't give it a pop after inflating. And pressure on the reservoir can't help....
Just think, soon you'll be putting it to good use!

Mine is getting better about it and yours should also. I like some fluid in the cylinders as with totally flat cylinders the points of the folds cause me pain. So I liked the partial inflating. I've been inflating just over 5 weeks and I don't need to lock it off now. Just give my shaft a squeeze after it stops deflating and it seems to stay comfortable. Should be on your AMS DVD in your packet. It was over 6 weeks before my reservoir stopped causing me discomfort.

I lay down on my back to deflate and inflate also. I can do it standing up but I like laying down for it. I reach down with my left hand and use my wrist area to hold the shaft up about one o'clock and hold the tube bundle while I use my right to squeeze the bulb. These things seem to very a bit and we are all different so you may find things different. I have been healing slow and things have taken me longer than expected. Mine is now to the point where I may need to add a pump or two to have the nice feel I like with smooth cylinders.

Take care and good luck.

Yes that helps. Many ppl have auto inflation early. It should clear up on its own in time.
