The bulb is hard as a rock. I have heard this is a common problem but what is the solution?

It took a little work but I found the button. Actually had to go to dinner that evening with a hard on.

Sorry, you are talking about inflating. I had that issue as well. I just got very aggressive and squeezed it. I know what you are going through.

Hi Everyone; I still have problems with my pump. I keep telling my wife that I am gunna go get the friggin vice grips.... I have pushed on several areas of the pump and found that some areas are softer than others. Overall though, I am finding that for the most part, it gets better with practice. :)

I have met with a couple of guys through the years to show how I inflate and to help them figure out how to squeeze the bulb. Hope someone can help you, brother.

Hi Dared 24,
I think it is very early for you to get too worried at this stage, as things settle down it will get easier. I am about three months since my revision with a Titan. I found the Titan is completly different to the AMS I originally had, but like you I found the pump bulb was very hard when I first started to use it, but it has got softer with use. What I do is hold the bulb between my thumb and first two fingers of my right hand, this holds it firm, then use my thumb and first two fingers of my left hand over my right ones then squeese the whole lot together, that seems to work allright.
If I just use one hand and the pump is getting near maxed out, sometimes the bulb is that hard it has sliped out of my fingers and hit my left nut, not an experience I like repeating, usually don't have this problem when I use both hands.
Hope this helps
Pumpitup.
