Hugh:
I'm at almost 10 weeks. It seems to me that once I press the deflate button, which is very difficult (and takes two hands) with my very high pump and still swollen scrotum, I can then use both hands to squeeze and fully deflate as long as I keep up the pressure. I haven't been pressing anything afterward. Do you give the bulb a short squeeze?

I've heard guys say that with a vacuum device they had the biggest dick of their lives! Much bigger because of the vacuum device rather than "out there in the normal air."
From personal observation, i can attest to the truth of that.

So does the touch have autoinflate?

Please define "autoinflate", particularly whether, in your mind, if it a good thing or a bad thing. (Most would regard autoinflation at unexpected times to be a bad thing, as in like during a public speaking engagement.)
Autoinflation when you WANT it would be TERRIFIC, especially if it was sufficient for coitus!

Re: New advice regarding cycling, pain and stretching
What I was told by my Dr I had to give it a quick pump after deflating. The purpose was to lock out the autoinflate feature. I can tell the morning I did not do the quick pump right . Just sitting or driving it inflate to about 25 %
Re: New advice regarding cycling, pain and stretching
Taking ibuprofen before pumping helps.

Believe me when I say you are very early on in the healing process. Not only does the penis get sore with little pumping but the device itself is hard and stiff. It takes time to be able to increase your pumping. I am 7 mos postop. I can get 50-60 wall to wall pumps. I hold for 60-90 minutes every day. I still get sore & i still see progress in growth both length & girth. You really have to be patient. Treat every day as a workout. Get as many pumps as you can. Wait a little & put in a few more & so on. Hold it until it pains. Then deflate. Warm baths help for cycling. Over time you will be less sore & the pump will begin to give more. Remember, even partial pumps are passing saline to the cylinders. Dont give up.

Re: New advice regarding cycling, pain and stretching
Thanks Bandit, I am encouraged by you and others here in the post that have stories of benefits after persistence. The pain isn't nice but I guess its just part of the journey to healing and growth- both personal and literal:)
