I wonder how hard you people press the pump. My hand is not very strong, therefore I can squeeze the pump only partly. Are some of you powerful enough to fully press the pump?

I have heard that some guys have their partner doing the pumping if they have problems doing it themselves.

I have strong hands, and I was really surprised at how much force is required to pump. At first it was like trying to squeeze a marble, but even after it loosened up it was, and remains, pretty stiff. I can do some one-handed, but after a few squeezes I need both hands. Like David_R says, maybe your partner could give you a hand, so to speak.

See if this helps ...

I use two fingers. The first two pumps are full then about halfway after that

I still have swelling and tenderness in scrotum but I try to do full presses whenever possible. Sometimes I have to wait for pump to fill again. I find that quick squeezes helps prime it if this happens. I'm sure this will correct with use and that darn deflate button will be easier to find.

Two hands. Have to squeeze it VERY hard initially (most of the time I have to push the release valve first before I squeeze the bulb) until I hear and feel the pop and then I continue with two hands. Takes only about ten squeezes to get it fully hard.
