Any clue by my bionic brothers would be appreciated.

Thanks

Frank; Your signature doesn't say what type of implant you have , but, if it is an AMS, feel up the bulb until you find the square block at the top of the bulb. Now, the button is in the center of that block on one side or the other. Now, having said that, that was the advice someone on here gave me and I still couldn't find it. I think swelling was preventing me from finding it. I have heard that you are suppose to use two hands to deflate.

Happy hunting

Larry :D

as an aid to learning the feel of the button. Put the practice pump the gave you, if they did, under a fluffy wash cloth and learn to find the button through the wash cloth. It will help you learn the feel. Over time it becomes unmistakable, but early on the wash cloth trainer helps.
