I'm 5 weeks out and I can easily find the bulb but I'm not sure if the deflate button is sideways (on the right/left side) or on the top/bottom. I'd like to know how it is oriented on my fellow Clavellians. I hope it's sideways because there's no testicle in the way and I have a pretty small scrotum. I'm not sure if I'm feeling the deflate button or just the structural sides of the device. The device was installed behind the testicles.
My 6-week video follow-up is in a week. I hope to have this figured out by then and get permission to start cycling.
TIA!

Your doc didn't give you the key chain Pump model?? How that came in handy when figuring out how to use that thing. There are videos to help you. They helped me. They are located right on top of the bulb. You can guide your fingers across the lines and it will have you feel or bring you to the top of the bulb where the deflate/inflate buttons are.

Yes, I have the bulb and found the location in terms of the bulb's position where the deflate button should be but I don't know if the button is on the side (relative to my body) or the top/bottom. It's a One Touch.

I have one touch.Since it can move around it can be facing you or sideways. I went through hell in finding them and thats why i recommend to feel the lines leading to it and that should help. I was advised to do that and trust me, it took quite some time and often to get the hang of it. Follow the lines from the reservoir leading to the one touch.

Thanks, Alex

Re: deflate button orientation for Titan Clavellians
Classic pump here. Well placed behind the boys and close to the taint.
Don’t sweat this. Guaranteed you’ll figure it out. After all, finding the deflate bar is easy. Feel the round ball, move your fingers to the top of it. There’s the bar.
On the classic, i have to squeeze both sides. I can feel the bars. But, if you squeeze and don’t deflate, rotate your fingers 90 degrees around the bar. It’s 50/50 with either attempt, so two attempts put you at 100% chance of finding it.
Yes, you will be relieved first time you deflate, thinking “it works!”.

Are you settled yet? Takes time.

I think I feel where the deflate button is but will wait until Monday when I have the video call with my surgeon. The incision looked good when he saw pictures a couple of weeks ago so I'm sure he'll give me permission to start cycling. Just waiting as long as possible to let any remaining swelling to dissipate. Thanks for checking up on me!

Your welcome. I don't forget what a pain in the ass it was for me to find the release valves when cycling. If you have issues..no worries. You will get there. I promise lol. And i'm not sure if I told you or another the following and that is....you can manually move the bulb around to align with your fingers if need be. I do it all the time cause when I pump I will try different sweet spots to get a few more squeezes in and when I'm done, sometimes it takes some maneurvering around to align my fingers to the release valves. Sometimes its one touch and other times it takes a few tries. Hope this all helps. Run into any other issues i'm always around.

Re: deflate button orientation for Titan Clavellians
don’t overthink it. It’s really not that hard, and like all of us you will certainly figure it out.
Consider. The pump bulb is round. The release valve is on top. The bulb is very very easy to find.
When it comes time to deflate, you run your fingers up to the top of the bulb, and will feel the square. are your fingers positioned in the right spot? Well, give it a good hard squeeze and find out.
If that does not do the trick, then simply rotate your fingers 90° and that HAS to be it.
