Pumping Technique

Hi team,

This coming Tuesday will be my 8 week mark since surgery. Everything is going fantastic in my opinion. No pain, no discomfort, I barely know it is there. I am still evolving as far as length is concerned. I was never a huge guy - maybe 6 + on my best day. When I began cycling, I measured at about 4, and a month later I can get to about 5 - 5 1/2. I don’t feel like I’ve maxed out yet, plus I have 70 lbs to lose, so that should give me usable access to an inch or so that is buried under blubber. If I get back to at least 6 usable inches, I’ll be a happy camper - and not too unhappy with a little less.

My question is in regard to pumping. Is it better to go for a slow, complete compression of the bulb each time or quick, partial pump and releases? Advice on your best practices are appreciated - Dennis

I've been watching different youtube instruction videos and all the doctors recommend complete compression of the bulb followed by allowing it to fully fill before squeezing again.

I think slow deliberate compressions on pump delivers the best outcome for my pump. I find hurried pumping only causes me problems and starting all over.
