I resisted making this post for fear that I would sound like a complete idiot but here goes anyway.
I had a Titan implant 22 done on May 11 of this year end and have been cycling fairly religiously. Inflating doesn’t seem to be a problem but deflating is giving me some trouble. I seem to be fumbling around when I deflate and I’m not sure I am deflating properly. Eventually, I do inflate but I’m concerned that I may be damaging my implant by not doing it correctly.
I know that I must depress the two horizontal bars on the side of the bulb to initiate deflation. So, should these bars be collapsing during deflation? When I do feel for these bars they tend to easily slip away and it’s difficult for me to keep my finger and thumb on those two horizontal bars. The key question here is should these bars collapse during deflation?
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Re: Deflating
Will,
No. Only one side has bar that is compressible and other side is concave to easier hold it.
I use my index finger which I put on concave side and with my thumb, I press button and I hold it. With my left hand I put pressure on my penis to drain fluid back to reservoir.

Re: Deflating
Will1948, Hold the tubing with one hand and press the button with the other. On a 700lgx, you just press momentarily and then you can hear and feel a buzzz while fluid goes back to the tank. I wonder,,Is the Titan one touch also or does it need to be held in the open position ?

Re: Deflating
The Titan Deflate button must be held continuously. I want to touch would be nice but this product doesn’t have it.

Re: Deflating
MK, thanks for the information now I get it. I have been trying to depress both horizontal bars and now I know why that’s not working.
So, if I understand you correctly I am correct that the bar should compress but only one bar not both.
Thank you again for the information.

Yes. Only one bar which has baton on its side.
Opposite side is only to hold and that side is concave for your fingertip to stay in and not slipping off.
