I got implanted 9/23. Just started cycling 2 days ago. Having trouble with the pump ( big bulb)
inflation & even more deflating. I feel the delate button but even after holding it don't seem to get much deflated?:Any ideas/tricks for cycling?
My Dr did it in about 2-3 min to rock hard, but bulb is round & slips out of hands easily.
Thanks for any help

Re: Cycling
I use both hands to grip & pump & get much more control that way. I do know at first it's more tricky but you'll get used to it & it gets easier. But 2 thumbs helped me early on & I still do it that way.
As far as deflating it could be that you're not pressing it hard enough. Especially at first as they're more stiff. I find that pressing & holding really firmly on the deflate button works faster. Then gently squeezing on your shaft to push fluid out

There is definitely a learning curve this this but it’s a small learning curve.
Some guys pump one handed, some with two.
I start off with one hand and add the second hand for more pressure and it gets close to 100%.
To keep the bulb from shooting out of my fingers I have my first finger curved so the bulb is nestled in the curve of the finger. My pad of my thumb, almost the first joint, is what is pressing the bulb.
My second hand just applies more pressure to my thumb and fingers for more power.
The exact mechanism to deflate varies from pump to pump, but just look at the pics of your pump. Besides squeezing the deflate button I need to squeeze my penis to get the majority of the fluid out. After I let go, a little fluid from the internal portion of the cylinder (where I can’t squeeze) will flow into the exterior portion of the cylinder to equalize. So my fully deflate penis looks a little less deflated a minute or two later.
Hope that helps.

Re: Cycling
I have a titan. My Dr gave me a "dummy" version of the pump to practice with. I didnt have it for the first week. It really helped.
I THOUGHT i understood where things were located but the dummy really helped especially for the release button.
On mine, the block under the bulb has 4 sides. 2 of them have rounded "shoulders" and I quickly learned those were NOT the sides to press for deflating. That made a big difference.
It will all be much easier in 2 weeks.
