Daily cycling.

[artful todger]

I'm 8 months post opp and still cycle 1 hour every morning. Did or do other people do this or when did you start cutting back. I want my implant to last as long as possible and obviously the more you cycle and use it the faster it will wear out. I'm still making small gains but it seem to be levelling out.

My doctor told me to inflate and deflate once a day to keep the parts in good working condition.

I usually inflate before I get in the shower and deflate when I'm done showering. So, that's about 10 minutes.

I'm 20 months out, and for the first year I religiously cycled for an hour, twice a day, inflated to the absolute max. I have tapered off, and now cycle for an hour, 3-4 times a week. My gains seemed to happen in the 6-12 month period.

One hour, twice a day for two hours, for the first two years. I haven’t always done it that much but I was told this would help with size, comfort, and it is nearly impossible to wear it out.

11 months out. I exercise daily. About ~3 hours of VED use off and on while sunbathing, plus pulling/stretching/bending etc. as often as I think about it. Size has been consistently growing up by slight increments, up another ~.5 cm or so after every few weeks. Keeps happening, no reason to stop yet.

Do you know this as a fact? That more cycling causes devices to "wear out"? I am not saying that's false, but I do want to know on what basis that is considered accurate.
