Delaware Husband, welcome to the bionic brotherhood ! Hope the rest of your recovery is going well.
Valdekio, FWIW, my "one-touch" Tenacio has never been one touch. I have to hold the deflate button while deflating. When I deflate I also put my index finger on the button, thumb on the opposite side, and squeeze between the two. Deflating requires squeezing the shaft very hard to force the fluid back into the reservoir. Also, my Dr had to put the reservoir in my abdomen on the left side. If I lean forward with pressure on the abdomen its even harder to deflate. So when I deflate I make sure my body isn't positioned such that I'm putting pressure where the reservoir is located.
Boatdrinks, I think everybody deflates to where they want to leave it, versus completely deflated. For me, I deflate to about 25-30% inflated instead of completely deflated. Everything feels and looks better at 25-30%. My Dr's only caution was to make sure its easy to bend the shaft 90 degrees in all directions to make sure that there's not enough pressure to encourage erosion over time.

Boatdrinks wrote:Valdekio,I have the same question with the MS pump. How do you know when it is completely deflated? I pushed my button and also squeezed penis. I am assuming that it is now what ya’ll call a “shower”?
