CX Auto Inflation

[SteveSW]

If I want it completely deflated, I squeeze it flat then squeeze the pump one quick pump. That locks the valve into pump mode. Saline fluid will not flow into implant unless bulb is squeezed. If I don't do that mine grows back to the 4 o'clock semi hard.

Resetting the pump after deflating, as you describe is what I was wondering about and whether or not it might have a negative or damaging affect on the pump itself and whether or not I had a real problem.

If I have to wear pants or shorts I prefer to free ball and with certain fabrics that's difficult being semi hard all the time. Wearing tighter underwear or a jock takes care of things, but I don't want to always have to. I'm not worried anymore that there is anything to worry about with the implant itself.

I personally have verified that at least with my AMS Momentary-Squeeze pump, squeezing the bulb after deflating has more potential to auto-inflate than leaving it in DEFLATE mode. Without setting to inflate, after an hour or two, or overnight, if there's remaining saline in the cylinders (and my tissues have relaxed and plumped up again) squeezing my dick will make the pump buzz a little but not much. When I tried the little "one-squeeze" trick to put it back on inflate mode after deflation, the next day I really was auto inflated. I couldn't squeeze anything out without pressing the deflate button but then there was considerably more saline to squeeze out than normal. I was probably about 30% inflated if I was to guess.

Thanks all for this thread!, I was pulling my hair out thinking I'm imaging things. 7 weeks out,,, cycling at night (and morning) but waking up at night and checking-- to find Im no longer limp I have the Lgx but its applicable for both. I do agree that the "third rail" takes over and naturally replumps around. Its all hanging pretty well down, getting good at squeezing the tubes out plus the tubes have some structure to them also making for nice hanger Lol. I sure dont miss the wrinkly wine cork that my old dick was, thanks peyronies! My bug-a-boo now is the pump bowl is damn inconsistent in hardness. sometimes it will pump fully and easily and other times its hard as a walnut from the get go. it makes me crazy.

I had this when I first started cycling and it last a while but I had a lot of problems. I think it has to do with the pump not fully or correctly setting or resetting. As the pump wears in it should improve. Mine was really bad and in the first month I only had a few of the proper resets or sets. I think this is what hurt my hand with the difficult bulb compressions and squeezing the ends of the valve block to try to get it to work.

I was the same as "oldbeek" Popping the pump did stop auto inflation for me and I even pumped a little a few time to relieve discomfort from dog ears. So as you can see we are a bit different and can have different results even with the same device. I did have some discomfort from the reservoir from when I woke from surgery and for quite a long time. But it is not something that bothers me a great deal. I gladly trade it for kicking ED out of my life.
