auto inflate

Postby oldbeek » Thu Jun 04, 2020 10:41 pm

I once said that you didn't need to push the pump one click to reset the pump, to stop auto inflate. I am changing my story. It may just be my pump. Dr Perito says if you don't fully deflate, you could have problems trying to ejaculate which I do. Just watched is video today. Deflated completely and 2 hrs later I was 5 1/2 inch and quite pumped up. Deflated again completely but this time gave it a quick pump and feel the click. 3 hrs later still totally deflated.

That's odd - I'm assuming with your LGX you also have the MS (Momentary Squeeze) pump.

Maybe in my case, the 65 mL reservoir isn't being compressed to the point where I'm prone to auto-inflation but I get better results on the AMS 700CX with MS pump if I squeeze out all saline and stop - do nothing more.

If I come back hours later and squeeze again, there is no saline in the implant to force out. If however, I pop the bulb after complete deflate, and come back hours later and press deflate and squeeze again, I have at least the saline that transferred from popping the bulb (the check-valve will squeak for a split second, maybe a little more).

Is it possible that the MS pump design changed in some way between your install and mine?

Waynetho, What you are doing is exactly what I was doing till now. I have a momentary squeeze valve. Just depress it hard momentarily then squeeze it dry. But today found it was filling back up by auto inflation. I have a 65cc reservoir and have a skinny build. Doing one quick squeeze after deflate now.

How odd. I've not had that issue. After pressing release button, I have auto-deflation until pressure drops to equilibrium and then just squeeze the remainder out. So far I've never auto-inflated after that procedure. I have found that there is saline in my implant IF I squeeze the bulb after deflation. I don't think I auto-inflate, but rather the tiny amount of saline that is imparted by the brief squeeze to pop the valve stays in the implant.

There may come a day that due to wear and tear on my check-valves that I too may start to auto-inflate but I can say that at least as of now, that doesn't happen.
