Re: Can anyone recommend a VED
The Encore is what I used for about a year, and it was okay for erections using vacuum pumping, but not 100% effective.. In April, I will be having a surgery to install an implant. My problem is from the scarring, Peyronie's disease, and the surgery I had in 2003 to release the plaque and have the c...

Re: A Vacuum Erection Device/VED/penis pump should be used before and after surgery by essentially everyone.
I'm pre-op for an implant and vacuum pumping for 30 minutes daily. I pump at no more than 5 on my gauge and I get very little edema which goes away overnight. It has helped me gain a bit of length, but no miracles. My doctor suggested using it before surgery and after surgery. He wants me to stop th...

Re: I had a breakdown yesterday.
I had my doctor's appointment in Tulsa and I will be having penile implant surgery the 1st week in October. My mind was made-up to move forward and get it done, and my Urologist told me he had no more to offer as an aid for my ED except an implant. Pills for 15+ years and a vacuum erection device, i...

Re: I'm probably doing something wrong and need help
Jim Beam, not everyone has those results. I invested $18 in a VED, and about the same in constriction bands, work fine when I need them too. Like the commercial says, "your results may vary"! Don't begrudge someone else to try something that may work fine for them! You're right. Apology e...

Re: I had a breakdown yesterday.
I'm older than you are, I'm 69, but severe ED has also caused me to have depression and I broke-down 6 months ago over it. A VED has not solved my problem either - it's an Encore and is a total flop. My doctor has mentioned a penile implant and it's my next step to having an active sex life. Hope yo...

Re: I'm probably doing something wrong and need help
I wasted $265 on an Encore erection device. Each time I pump and slip the tension ring off, around my penis, the erection points down and far right. Trying to straighten it manually causes the erection ring to leak and my penis is limp as ever. I've contacted the Encore rep and watched the instructi...
