Implant deflation

Postby Bobsbug4 » Wed Jul 14, 2021 1:28 pm

I’m having issues deflating my AMS 700 cx completely. It will be two weeks tomorrow. I hold the deflate button for 4 seconds as the video shows. It barely deflated. I squeeze my penis while holding the deflate button. I still have a little stub. Is this normal? Thanks

I am unclear. 2 weeks from activation or what? I'd hate to think you're squeezing the poor guy so soon. It will take a bit of 'breaking in' to soften up but as long as the pressure has released that's the new normal

I'm hoping that you are referring to post activation.

I still had quite a bit of swelling at my activation date and about a month after. The thing I've noticed then as now I can both hear and feel the buzz as the fluid returns to the reservior. If it squeeze after getting the intial deflate I still feel more than hear the buzz. Unless I give it a pump and feel the click for pump up.

From my perspective my dick is larger both deflated and inflated, although not alot of length growth with my CX there is some the larger "flaccid" state did cause me anxiety when changing at the gym or in my scrubs at work, I was worried everyone was looking and as I got used to the larger normal I realized it is more in my own mind that others see it.

I'm about to celebrate my second anniversary with my implant and now that everything is pretty much setteled in, most often I don't squeeze my penis when I deflate allowing the pressure from my underwear to do it and it seems to give me a more comfortable day in at work, if I squeeze, it I often get the so called dog ears,that make it uncomfortable. So in those cases I feel more comfortable with 2 to 5 pumps in after I allow it to be deflated, depending on the underwear I'm wearing.

I haven't noticed any obvious and I wear scrubs, I normally wear bikini, low rise, standard briefs, or sometimes jocks.

not sure if this answers your questions good luck

Deflating is the most difficult part of using my implant. It seems that I just can't press for four seconds and leave it at that. I seem to have to hold the button down while it deflates and "squeeze" my dick to fully deflate. I hear and feel the buzz. I don't squeeze hard since I like the new flaccid dick I have. (Turtling caused me to be a grower, not a shower. Now I hang 4-5 inches and love it.)

I'm going to try again with the four-second hold and release. I still have trouble finding THE deflate button with all the dimples and edges on my pump.

It seems like you’re only 2 weeks since surgery? In that case, 100% deflation probably won’t happen yet. You’re still healing. When I deflated early on I would simply push the deflate button, my penis was too sensitive to squeeze empty. As the weeks went on and I healed more I could deflate more.

The 4 second rule is nonsense. I have done experiments with my AMS and confirmed it and other members of Franktalk have concurred. It is the DEPTH of depression of the button that is essential.

Experiment: From fully inflated, depress the button just a little and feel the "buzz" of deflation. Hold the button down for as long as you like. 4 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds. The buzz will continue until the pressure equalizes or you release the button, whichever comes first. Reinflate and try it again, this time releasing pressure on the button during the deflation process, then depress (just a little) again and feel the deflation re-start.

No matter how long you hold the button partially depressed, you can start and stop deflation at will if you get the DEPTH of depression right.

Now, reinflate and depress fully (feel for a "click") This may happen after one second or 10 seconds, depending on how deeply you depress.

I used to keep pressing the deflate button till the buzz stops. Then tried to depress only for a few seconds. When I release, the buzz continues in same manner like if I am still depressing. So, I think the concept of releasing the button and letting the deflate continue works, but the time may vary between people. Not necessarily to be 4 seconds. It could reach 6.

I have found that the time the button is depressed is irrelevant. It is the DEPTH of depression that matters.

When I depress the button for deflation, I feel a slight click or pop (much more subtle than the pop when starting inflation) of the valve shifting over to deflate mode.

edited to add: When I depress the button for deflation and do not depress until the click, I get deflation while depressing and when I release the button, the deflation stops. I can repeat that any number of times. This allows me to adjust my degree of inflation (up or down) very easily and incrementally.

Yes, LS. We can't consider 4 seconds as standard time no matter how you depress the button.
