Bulb doesn't seem to always get firm to indicate it's full?

Bulb doesn't seem to always get firm to indicate it's full?

Postby twelvepillarscup » Sun Mar 16, 2025 2:43 am

I'll pump and I get a proper erection but I noticed when I hold the pump in certain angles, it will give me more pumps. But those pumps don't seem to get me harder than I already am. It's a bit hard to explain but I'm worried I have a leak? Erection seems ok but I can keep pumping at certain angles but it doesn't seem to be getting me any harder.

Are you inadvertently putting pressure on the deflate button as you’re holding the pump in those certain angles that result in the unproductive pumps?

I can’t speak for the AMS pump but this has happened to me early on as I was learning how to cycle efficiently.

Here's what I've noticed on the MS pump with CX700: You get some good solid FULL pumps, but as the implant nears getting solidly full, the bulb gets a bit harder to squeeze, until you don't get any more inflation - it MAY or may not go full marble. I think I've gotten the marble maybe once or twice - both were early on in my stretching journey. With the MS pump I've read its not uncomon to get a BUNCH of 'mini pumps' where you are inflating the implant but just a tiny bit each time. It'll be harder to pump than before, but not super hard rock marble style.

However, "holding the pump" in certain angles, you may be unkninking / kinking the tubes. Do be careful with that! You want it in a position where you get good solid pumps all throughout.
