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’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.
