Playing around with my pump before first inflation...

[monkfroot]

Is it normal for the pump (Titan OTR) to be hard as a rock before the first inflation? I just felt it and cant imagine squeezing this thing a bunch of times before inflation ...

Yes, and it will soften up as you use it. After about a couple of weeks I noticed it was easier to pump.

I have actually pumped mine up yesterday for the first time.

If you look at the Clavell videos and get the right hold before pumping (so you don't slip), it is not that difficult. Mine is quite soft, really,
and I thought it would be harder.

It's all about getting the hand locked in steady. The technique seems to be what it's about.

It's the deflating that is more difficult. Especially if the scrotum sack is tight, and I guess that's why baths are recommended.
Still, after a few tries --bingo, a great Boner being deflated.

just wait until you get to play around with your penis, SO much better than just playing around with the pump.

Congrats!

1) Did it hurt?
2) since you are a fellow Titaner, what percent girth growth do you estimate that you saw going from being deflated to being fully inflated?

It did not hurt at all inflating but discomfort kicked in after 5 mins or so. As we speak I have some discomfort but this is expected as mentioned in the forum.

Girth grew a lot. I was really pleased.

It becomes pretty damn hard even not fully inflated.

When are you due to start cycling?

Maybe put a signature at the bottom of your posts as it will help people identify your date, type etc. Might be useful for you.

Thanks - so girth bigger than pre op even?

I was going to add a signature at some point. but I usually add the relevant detail or contextual.

The skin on your scrotum is a lot like the skin on your elbow. You’ll be amazed, eventually, how hard you can squeeze the bulb and it doesn’t hurt a bit.

I went down a similar path… playing with and figuring out the pump awhile ago and then deciding to first deflate and then pump it up. I was fortunate that it was all quite easy for me and no pain or discomfort. I’ll post some more detail on my own thread to avoid running on here. So far so good here.

I have the AMS 700. I have been just touching and fondling the pump bulb. I agree, this damn pump is a ROCK. Nothing soft or touchable about this pump. There is no way I'm gonna squeeze or pump this thing. I will need some pliers or a hammer to squeeze this ROCK. I was pleased with the surgery, but as hard as this rock (Pump) is, I can't see myself ever using this thing. And I thought I read everything on here about the implant process. I just don't remember ever reading about a rock being installed in my scrotum. Even that damn demo mock-up, in the office, was just hard plastic, not a stone. Hell, my URO covered and reviewed, and it was never mentioned that the pump would be like a rock. So as I see it, the surgery was a 1 or 2, on the scale, compared to squeezing this rock or stone. Squeezing the stone is a 14 or 15. You will need a good set of pliers or vise grips, to use this thing.
