Hey,

I just started cycling two days ago but I don't think I'm getting up to 100 percent inflation. Does it take a few times before the implant is able to obtain 100 percent inflation? I feel like I'm around 70 percent or so, if that much.

I'm pumping as much as I can and don't have any soreness or pain that is preventing me from pumping further. I just don't feel like the implant is getting any harder with the extra pumping. The pump gets hard but I'm still able to get small squeezes out of it but again I'm not seeing any increase when I do.

Any advice or suggestions? I have a Titan OTR 22cm with 125ml reservoir.

Thanks!

just keep doing that. pump up as far as you can. until you cant even get mini squeezes in. then do perito exercise. then pump again. leave it inflated, do it for extended period and 2 times a day. you will be able to get more pumps in eventually, but takes time

Thank you! I have been doing the exercise as well. I was wondering does it take some time before it could reach is maximum firmness. Although it does get firm, I don't think it's reaching that level of firmness that I've been reading about on the board. I understand the length will come with time.

Same problem, been pumping for a week now and while hard as a rock not erect like I was expecting. I have the AMS 700 LGX and could literally keep pumping forever. Both Boston Scientific and surgeon told me to pump till I stop seeing any changes. Everyone says it will get better......ugh I hope!!!!!

Same here. 8 weeks post op, been cycling 2 weeks now. Bulb is too hard, after 70%, I can’t even get mini squeezes. Hope the bulb softens up soon

Have you tried using both hands? I watched a video of Perito where he recommends using the "thumb on thumb" technique. Which is you put one of your thumbs on top of your other thumb and it gives you double strength to pump.

I tried it and it definetely gives me more strength. Also i tried another variation of my own where i pump with my thumb on the pump but i do a "claw" around my thumb with my other hand and it definetely feels way easier to pump.

He mentions the thumb on thumb around 4:20 here
