Hi all,

So, today I was, finally, given the green light to start cycling the device, I have to say I was eagerly waiting

On my first and second attempt I could only do 3 pumps and 2 other half ones until the pump bulb became too hard to press.

I have left the device for a full hour each time, not much pain, just some tickling on the glans.

I was wondering if I might be doing something wrong when activating the pump, I do one first hard squeeze, and then slower ones as recommended, but only getting three or four actually frustrated me a little bit.

How was it for you guys?

Thanks and Happy Easter everyone.

I have a coloplast Titan but have heard similar stories about both. Yes, my first few cycling was barely 3-4 pumps. Did this for a couple weeks and would add pumps as I could then about 4-5 weeks in I started the perito exercises and was able to add pumps about 1-2 more every week or 2. By 4-5 months was getting 10-15 pumps by 6-8 months was get18-20 or more small ones. By the time I was maxed out I get 25 or so pretty full pumps and then 6-8 small pumps and then I run out of fluid in my tank and the pump stays flat. At this point I stopped cycling daily and obviously quit the perito exercises as I’ve reached my true max! Totally happy with what I have! It’s everything I can ever remember and then a little xtra girth than I can ever remember. Hang in there and keep at it! Time and cycling cures most issues or concerns.

I’m pretty sure I have the exact same implant as you. I have the AMS 700 LGX with 3cm rear tips.

When I first got cleared to cycle my implant, the pump bulb was pretty stiff or I was still sore in my scrotum and I could only manage about 10 pumps.
Now that I’m 26 months out from surgery I can get in 25 full pumps and a few more half pumps after I let it stretch for a little bit.
When I say full pumps, I squeeze the pump until I can feel the inside walls of the pump touch.
I hold the pump in place with my left index finger and thumb at the top of the pump block pulling it gently down to hold in place. I use my right index finger knuckle and the middle of my thumb to pump so that I’m using my forearm muscles rather than just the finger muscles.
But you can try different methods to see what works for you.
I’m attaching a YouTube video with instructions.
I use Option C when inflating.

Good Luck,

Hi, indeed I believe we have the same implant and thank you for the reply.

I felt a little frustrated by the shape and size post surgery and that it looks like my penis is not looking great, I'll post a picture in the other comments section, it just seems odd shaped and the size was an absolute killer.

Everyone has been quite reassuring that everything will become "normal " so I'm just cycling for two days now and see how it goes

If you were sized right with cycling you should regain most of the length

What is your pre op and now length?

I was 17.6cm when hard, I was implanted with a 18 + 3, I haven't measured yet.

It looks so flatten that it has been playing with my mind, my dick was quite roundish and very good girth, now it just looks very flat and skinny, almost no meat on the sides

Ok lets say that you will end up with a 17 cm length.

Your implant is 18+3+3 (3 cm more with the expansion of the LGX). This means a total of 24 cm.

24 -17= 7 cm of crux

If your crux (the internal part of the penis) isnt longer than 7 cm than you should be able to regain your 17 cm

Another way to know is by looking at your flaccid length. To reach 17 cm you should have a deflated length of at least 14 cm now

I am not near that, I just measured myself and it's barely 10cm, I'm still trying to go through the cycling and best ways to make the most of it, I have an appointment with the Dr Raheem on Wednesday and I have a few questions for him.

The penis looks really flat, I can't understand if it's temporarily, while I'm still healing, or if it's going to be like this always, I was told it would be a normal looking penis, still, looks really flat and skinny
