While patiently working my way through recovery and waiting another 5 weeks until activation I decided to read the documentation etc.
In hospital they gave me a little plastic "goodie bag" with a bunch of stuff in it.

- Patient form with all of my surgery and device details, which looks like are now registered with Boston Scientific.
- Implant card for airport security, which I filled out and laminated. Now in my wallet.
- Patient Guide for the prosthesis and pump, which I have read, mostly.

- There is also a replica MS pump on a key ring with quick reference card attached. See photo.
My question is, what is the best way to use or practise with this toy pump while I'm waiting to activate the real one?
Is there a preferred technique apart from what's described in the user guide?
Some methods seem to feel a bit easier than others, but this pump is obviously not inside my scrotum with actual tubes attached.
Did you do x number of reps per day?
Did you not bother with it at all?

other than showing my wife what the hard bump in my scrotum looks like, I didn't use it for anything. I've wondered how many questions I'd get if I actually used it as a key ring in daily life. Those that know, would know, those that don't would have no clue.

You can watch here https://de.pornhub.org/view_video.php?viewkey=66aab6cb9b4e2, where I'm showing one way how to inflate and deflate yoiur dick with the pump.
Enjoy

I activated the pump 4 days ago, between the swollen scrotum and the very hard pump it hurt like hell, I sweated because of the pain, I couldn't even find the deflation button because of the swelling in the scrotum and the pain, you will have to be very brave, yesterday I inflated and deflated 2 times, but I had to sweat, I had to inflate about 90% because it hurt too much

I have Coloplast Titan however it looks almost the same. When I deflated which was a pain to figure out at the beginning I found that using my fingertips and pressing real hard deflates it easily. I looked at and used the keychain thing quite often and watched videos over and over when I had trouble inflating and especially deflating. Over time it becomes real easy to do.

LGXDownunder, no reps per day

That thing is like a torture device, the ridges on the outside of the pump bulb hurt like heck when you squeeze it. That's the way it was in my scrotum too, the ridges hurt when I first started trying to get a few sneak squeezes in at 4 weeks. It even hurt at 6 weeks when I had my device training after they deflated me and I had to inflate it some; I only got in 10 pumps before I had to stop.

After the surgical capsule forms around the pump, it is very comfortable and it doesn't hurt. It's amazing that they can get that big ole thing in your small scrotum with the other two boys.

Boston Scientific use to have an instructional video for the MS pump, showing you different methods to pump, but I guess they took it off the internet, it was a very good video.

I pump with my right hand index finger knuckle and the lower part of my thumb to squeeze the pump so that you are using your forearm muscles rather than just finger muscles.

Good Luck Downunder,
SWorks

Thanks, I had similar thoughts

Thanks Dan, Your video is great and I'll watch it again once I'm activated.
Just looking for ideas with the "toy" pump on the key ring for now.

Thank you Frank, Thinking about my appointment for activation in another ~5 weeks both excites and terrifies me.

Thanks Alex. I was playing around with the toy pump yesterday using a fingertip technique.
I'm expecting the real thing to be awkward initially but hopefully improving as I get used to it.
