Growing with the LGX - more cycling or more time inflated?

It is not overly uncomfortable and I used a jock using my Fruit of the Look underwear to hold the jock in place. That kept my junk pointed up and I didn't look like I was overly glad to see everyone. :)

This whole concept of an LGX expanding has left me questioning the shrinking of the tunica to be permanent. We're told that the surgeon can not install cylinders longer than what the tunica can accommodate. Yet AMS claim that it CAN be stretched?

What are we to believe?

It can be stretched. The surgeon cannot stretch it instantaneously. It takes repeated pressure over time.

I recently stayed pumped for 16 days and nights. 30%. My clown pants hide the bulge. Cannot wear jeans like normal. But did not need to cycle and was 5 7/8" without shrinking. That's hard enough and long enough for sex! It is not comfortable at work, rubs when you walk.
I never use the pump to grow. Anti productive especially with the sucky AMS pump/ Tried my new one this pm and could not activate it. I use VED to grow. Have now stretched to 6 9/16". My goal is 7 by the end of January. The implant pump follows my VED growth. I pump and wait and pump and waait until it makes it to what I just stretched to. But unless I keep at it daily at that length I quickly shrink again. Apparently it takes about a month of consistency to finally stick.
Yes your tunica can be stretched beyond birth natural lengths. Cultures do it all the time using heavy weights. I do it using VED. But to last you need to be consistent. I'm not. Not until my cylinders are fixed.

Thanks for all the replies and information.

I pump to "maximum" and then wait 5 minutes and pump again. Repeat. But the extra pumps never seem to do anything. The relief mechanism of the LGX kicks in and I'm just pressing the bulb to no effect. I also don't feel any pain from being at max, and haven't felt any since the first few weeks. If I stay at max pressure for over an houur I start to feel some achiness and I'm wondering if that is a sign that I'm getting some stretching, but it doesn't sound like the growth pain others talk about.

I'm now trying Donnie's method. Perhaps that will help.

I'm wildly happy with the implant, just hoping to grow some.

This is how I go around twice a day or more for an hour or so. With a BIG smile on my face. Driving, walking all work fine. More than a bit uncomfortable if I try to do any hobby type stuff. I wear a pair of Jockey Micro Fiber trunks. Depending on how everything is fitting I sometimes roll the Jockey's down under my balls.

I pump up to discomfort - usually around 10 squeezes - then I do 4 partial squeezes. Then I wait a few minutes and try to get a few more squeezes in. 50/50 whether I can or not. Either way I do 4 more partial squeezes. Sometimes it's a little more painful than uncomfortable so I I'll empty and repeat the process to get below painful. AMS recommends twice a day for 20 minutes. They also told me you can't over inflate so don't worry about that. Of course your Doc knows your medical history and he may call for something different. I'm planning on cycling daily for another 17 months. It's going to be a little harder to hide in the summer with a crop top t shirt on instead of my flannel :D And, yes, I put on a T and button the flannel. Don't want to but I do :oops:

I'm 7 weeks from implant and 2 weeks since activation. Back to my pre-surgical measurements. Wish I would have done this decades ago. Hoping to have that thing hit my navel by the end of 2019.

Just noticed that I have my grungy work clothes on. Mom would be SO ashamed!

A stretching routine worked for me until I got back to my pre implant length. About that time I reached a point where no matter how hard or long or often I pumped I could no longer reach a point where I had any discomfort or stretching feeling. Basically I believe that I have reached the maximum point that the cylinders will expand to. I am very happy with my results. I believe to get any more length, I would have to have larger cylinders installed. This is likely why many revisions on long term implants use the next size longer cylinders or additional RTI's

Ya know, right up until October (10 months post op) I had the same thing... it seemed to pump up and then the pump went soft and I seemed to be able to pump forever. But then one day I was laying down and cycling and I just kept pumping and it started to get hard again and my dick started to feel a little uncomfortable and I just kept pumping. Finally, I just couldn't squeeze it anymore and my dick was aching. I think this is where it is suppose to be. I wonder if, because I was more sitting the other times, the saline couldn't run into the tubing and transfer to the cylinders?? Anyway, now when I do it, I lay down and it always aches a little. Food for thought. :)
