Recommend a vacuum erection device

[lowrider]

Met with Dr. Hakky this morning to discuss implant surgery. Heexplained to me why I should use a VED every day for 4 weeks before surgery. So, I go on amazon and typed in ved, and more than 3 pages of choices/brands. I don't want to waste my time/money on what doesn't work well, so I am hoping some of you good folks can recommend a ved based on personal experience/success. Any opinions are worth listening to and appreciated. Thanks, lowrider.

ps: watched a youtube demo with a product, Encore, are they worth the extra bucks?

Hi, I have used the Soma unit for over a year now, you have a choice of 4 cylinder sizes which cover a large range of girths, all will take a 8 inch long cock, not cheap but i find very good and simple to use,

I don't think you need to spend a ton of money. Based on your op you need one to get ready for implant surgery and need to use it every day for 4 weeks prior to your surgery.

Did your Urologist give you a specific set of exercises to do with the pump in preparation?

I use a Leluv that was about 11 dollar on Ebay.. It is adequate and I would think ideal for your purpose.

I do not have an implant, but I have used the Encore Impo-Aid for several years. Bought it from https://www.adwdiabetes.com/category/va ... ion-device. Currently runs about $108 for the battery operated pump which is the one I use. It has worked well for me.

Thanks to all the other users who responded. Appreciate hearing real world reviews.

If you are only going to use it for four week in preparation for surgery, I do not feel you should spend the money on a “medical” type VED. Instead, you should buy a quality sex shop type penis pump with a vacuume gauge. You need one with a wide base for comfort. LeLuv makes a good quality system - cylinder. Hose, and brake bleeder pump ($70). https://www.amazon.com/LeLuv-Cylinder-U ... B00MV8QXLO

It is important to get a properly sized cylinder:

Cylinder sizing according to,LAPump

Girth —---> Cylinder Diameter
3.50 to 4.50* --> 1.50
4.75 to 5.25* --> 1.75
5.50 to 6.00* --> 2.00
6.25 to 6.75* --> 2.25
7.00 to 7.50* --> 2.50
7.75 to 8.25* --> 2.75

Pump twice a day at 5 inches of mercury (hg) starting with five minutes per session for the first week then add 5 minutes a week until you hit 20 minutes, the max time under vacuum you should not exceed.

Okay, so I read a couple of threads in this section and decided that I want to try using a pump for an erection, instead of an attempt to gain size prior to surgery/implant. In fact, Dr. Hakky was surprised when I said I wanted to skip pumping and injections and go straight for the implant. However, it seems that I should at least try to use the pump first. So, with that, any opinions on how best to use it? I ordered a Encore manual pump from amazon and should have it next week. Thanks in advance, lowrider.

60 days of VED use was recommended by one protocol I read in a medical journal. But even lesser amounts of time are beneficial. I vacuumed for over a year (while I gained authorization for surgery and searched out a surgeon I would accept) and am glad I did.

Benefits included:

Restoration of recently lost size
Easier insertion of the implant during surgery
Easier (less discomfort) recovery period

I found the lack of a vacuum gauge to be a minor inconvenience. But since you already ordered one, this fact might be only useful to future readers of this thread.

Good luck.
