Here's how to reduce discomfort/pain scrotal during first inflate/deflate cycles

[pilot74]

I found a lot of very useful info on this forum that helped me on my journey. So I wanted to give back to this community.

Implanted in December 2020 by Dr. Eid, I had a fair bit of scrotal swelling and pain which made inflation/deflation very challenging for the first few weeks.

Here's what helped reduce sensitivity and make things go a LOT smoother: topical lidocaine cream. I got 5% Dr. Numb, but any cream that numbs should do. I just put a little bit of it on the scrotum where my pump + deflate valve is, and wait a few minutes. This reduces sensitivity and pain like 5x-10x for me so I can push much harder with very little discomfort.

I know some people put lidocaine onto the penis to reduce sensitivity but I have not tried this so cannot vouch for this. I only put it on scrotum.

Now, one important disclaimer is that I am not a doctor and I have not confirmed with any doctor that this is acceptable in any way. But wanted to share what helped me personally to start cycling asap.
