Hard bumps/parts at base of penis, tubing?

goose1235, welcome to the bionic brotherhood ! FWIW -- it took weeks for my swelling to go away and after that, the tubing and pump were fine. That said, I'd definitely discuss with your Dr at next visit.

My issue is that I’m hearing mixed answers. Some say that there shouldnt be tubing felt at all at the base of the penis or in the scrotum right where the penis meets it. But I feel it in both areas as quite rigid and will definitely be uncomfortable to me and my partner

Was your tubing obvious in the beginning like mine?

goose1235, everything down there was swollen like a Macy's parade balloon or like a baseball (felt like a softball). I had a lot of bleeding and edema. So no, nothing stood out. That said, the top of the pump normally sits at the left side of the base and it and the tubes connected to it can easily be felt, but they don't stand out. My wife hasn't said she can feel them and they certainly don't bother her. She has said that when I'm max inflated, and in just the right position, she can sometimes feel the tips of the cylinders. I normally inflate to 85-95% -- it feels more natural to her and has better sensation to me.

For me, hopefully settling deeper once it is less swollen, though I seem to swollen minimally, I can see the tubing manifesting as two round bumps on either side of the penis at the base. I can also feel the tubing in the scrotum that prevents me from putting a finger deeper. From underneath, I can see the tubing that runs to my left up to shaft quite easily also. It looks like a large lump on my shaft.
