Your cycling protocol

Hi
Just curious how you guys go about cycling everyday? Is it one hour at 100% inflation or more than that?
I am doing at 1 hour twice a day at 100%. Is that similar to any one?
Any different thoughts would be very appreciated.

I just want to say that I searched YouTube for Rigicon. I think that is what Proctor has. If not, my apologies.
There is several recent videos by Dr. Kramer showing him implanting them. I'm not sure that they are available in the USA yet. But it might be worthwhile to see the videos.

Yeah GT, you are right. It was installed in Istanbul. Wait for my ‘ Istanbul Journal’ where I will share my experience
.
As far as I know, its not FDA approved yet. But going by my own experience and European market feedback it is getting, I am sure its just a matter of time.

1 hour? Talk about aggressive, lol
I only do mine once a day, at the least, for 20 min. or more.
I have the Legacy Titan with 2 valves that I have to squeeze to let the saline back out, takes about 45 seconds of pumping out.

Really?? I would need to hear from others as well. Don't want to be too aggressive unnecessarily

Why did you choose for the Rigicon. Why not Coloplast or AMS?
Is Istanbul a joke or did Dr Kramer installed the implant in Istanbul?
Where you from and what is your age?
Good luck brother

You can be that aggressive but only after you are fully healed. You should follow your doctors instructions until then or after as we are all different. The long aggressive stretching cycling is for us men who have lost size from ED. So if you do not have lost size to regain it will not help and you can do damage. The rule is to use this or VED and only to the point you feel stretching. If you feel pain you need to stop. My experience is with the AMS LGX that expands in length and girth. I have no knowledge of your product. I would contact the product company and your doctor about this first. Good luck going forward with this.

Believe me, I have lost BIG time! I want to be more aggressive than I am now, but my suture area will not allow it (or maybe I am just a pussy for not being more aggressive).

I don’t live in US and had no plans to go there due to visa, COVID and cost. RIGICON had Dr Kramer come to Europe and operate on pre-selected candidates. I went to Istanbul (Constantinople!) where Dr Kramer installed this on me. So, in a way, I had only one option and so far don’t have any buyers remorse. But of course, in the initial few days, I was feeling sorry for myself and even wondered whether I should have gone for the 1 piece instead of IPP. RIght now, after, almost 2.5 months, those doubts are completely gone.
As I haven’t used AMD or Titan, I can’t intelligently compare them with mine. But, I feel the pump is easy to use and its size is not huge ( don’t remember where but read somewhere that one of the companies pump size is rather big.). Oh, I am 45 and live in Canada.

I did a bit of research on your implant and it says it is expandable like the AMS LGX but I did not find any specifics. So check with your doctor and device company and ask about VED use post surgery. VED use is mentioned in my AMS user DVD and I have read posts from other users that it works faster than stretching with the implant alone. I tried the VED and had pain so I could not use it and just used my device. I had gains out past a year. After you are fully healed you can pump to max and wait 5 minutes or so then add or force pump(s). Partial is ok. You don't want pain as you can cause damage. You do want to feel a bit a stretching. Some split the hour into 2 30 minute secessions. If you do use a VED get one with a gauge and watch to make sure you keep the vacuum on the low side as again you can cause damage. And remember the rule to stop if you have pain.
