Grower now shower

Postby Steve5231 » Sat Sep 30, 2023 5:41 pm

I was always a grower until my implant surgery in January of this year. I’m really enjoying the look but am wondering… is there a problem leaving it 50% pumped throughout the day?

Yes there is. A capsule can form around the reservoir at its smallest size. In essence you'd never be able to fully deflate.
If I recall correcty. Perrito talks about in one of his older videos. In it he seems to mock a small segment of men that will be at the beach fully inflated. Only to be never able to deflate. I think he had a spanish name for them.

You don’t want a restrictive scar tisseu capsuke to grow around your reservoir anu more than you want a estrictive scar tise capsule to growxaround your implanr tubes. The one would restrict your ability ti be flaccid (deflated) and the other restict your ability to be fully infkated (erect).

So while being infkated (even 50%} hours per day is not totally bad, you should spend several hoursxa day totally deflated. Particularly in the first months after implantation.

Cycle FULLY every day until your healing is totally complete. After that you can be less assiduous. But I still nake sure I can fully deflate at least every couple of days

Steve5231 for what it’s worth I agree with Lost and GT. Dr Perito did mine over five years ago and for several months I would deflate and cycle per his orders. So far no problems and we love it! Time will be your friend and when fully healed you can leave it pumped to your liking. Best of luck.

Short answer:
No problem. Just make sure you pump up 100% at least often enough to ensure you can and deflate to 0% at least often enough to ensure you can. If you find deflation or inflation cannot be achieved fully, you are experiencing a problem that probably needs to be addressed professionally.

I never deflate all the way. I have found out that deflating all the way you are just looking for trouble with the valve getting stuck and then it will not work anymore needing a revision to replace the MS valve. But leaving a couple of pumps on the cylinders the pump will work perfect every time. And this posts I was just reading about the reservoir getting a bubble is not true. LOL! Reservoir is nothing but a heavy duty plastic bag very durable.

Looking at your signature you are 10 months out. If you’ve been leaving it half pumped up til now then any problems would already been evident. Most capsules develop long before the time frame you’re at.

I’m confused. Some of you say to be sure to always release. Others say it doesn’t matter. I wonder which is the right approach?
