I grip the tubes at the block with one hand and press the bulb very close to the block with the other hand. !00% pumped starts to hurt bad in 20 minutes.
The bulb will go flat if it runs out of saline fluid. My reservoir is only 80cc with 15 cm tubes. I have 15 cm with 5cm rte and come out with 6 inch but that is variable as to how deep your inside measurement may be. The point degree varies with the strength of the suspensatory ligament.Mine points out straight but points at my chin when laying down. Good pumping!
Old Bleek, the Doc never told me what I had but I just looked and I have 100ML. So do you have to put pressure on your tubes with the alternate hand while pumping? I thought I did at first because it seemed it wouldn’t pump without me doing that. Now it will pump with my other hand just to the top of the block. Pumping isn’t that hard now, I pumped mine last night and kept it pumped for a couple hours. The head didn’t hurt but it did feel like the skin was streatching to point of hurting a little this time. That was good to feel because I was worried (but I’m only 4/12 in). Anyways I haven’t got to the point of the bulb going “flat” yet but can’t tell even after 30 min of pumping if it is getting larger. Ok, mine does point straight out but it never points to my chin even laying down. Maybe I’m just impatient idk. Thank you!
