So, I decide to go rogue and try my tenacio pump last night instead of waiting until Nov. 4. I had a couple of observations and or questions for the board. Number 1 the pump seemed very hard to press all I could get in were mini pumps as it were but I did notice a slight increase after the mini pumps. Is the pump supposed to be that hard to press?
Number 2- It seemed upon waking up this morning that the increase I had seen went down back to where I was. I thought that was strange and was wondering if that would be normal since I did not touch the deflate button at all??

Re: Pump question
Yea, I went rogue myself this week after being implanted Oct 9. My doc has me waiting the full 8 weeks before they “teach” me… UGH. I have the CX but with the MS pump. The hardest part was hitting the deflate button to activate. The pumping up itself was not that hard. OMG the sensation of a hard penis…lol But, deflated and am leaving it alone for now as I do not want to mess up and have to do over!
Best of luck Valdekio!

You are a brave man. I was too sore to try as soon as you did!

Re: Pump question
Valdekio, yes, it is that hard to press at first. For me, it took 1-2 weeks of mini-pumps to soften the pump bulb. On the second thing, were you trying to stay more inflated overnight ?

Yeah, I was only left at 20%to 30% so I thought I would give it a few squeezes because it was kind of bent at the base where the tube seemed to be kinked somewhat on one side. The pumps caused it to straighten and I was happy so I left it. When I woke up the kink seemed to be back. I have since inflated as much as I could and am currently sitting with a nice hard on. Feels great! I'm not sure if it's at 100% though. Going to try and deflate around 8 and go back to semi hard.

Re: Pump question
Hi, I was cleared and Dr has me cycle 3 times a day right now. Agree that squeezing the pump is like squeezing a golf ball. Good to know it should soften. Thanks

Mine softened up considerably after a few weeks of daily use. It truly was like squeezing a golf ball early on. Hang in there!

Re: Pump question
So I got my deflate button to work somewhat but it certainly didn't take me to flaccid. I thought the tenacio was one press and it all the cylinders deflated after that. Am I missing something? Also it seemed like I had to press the deflate somewhat hard as well with support in the back as I tried to mash that button in from the front.

Re: Pump question
Valdekio,
I have the same question with the MS pump. How do you know when it is completely deflated? I pushed my button and also squeezed penis. I am assuming that it is now what ya’ll call a “shower”?
Upnorth,
I mean, I didn’t fully inflate but man what a feeling!!
