Coloplast Titan Pump poll

[Fitzgerald 2012]

I would like to hear from a bunch of you regarding Coloplast Classic Pump. Two questions:
1. How long did it take for the pump to lose its rigidity?
2. Any hints on how to find the two bars to deflate?

TIA

It happens so gradually that you don’t feel it at any given time. I think you build your muscles and technique at the same time it’s breaking in. After a recent revision at 4 weeks I started pumping and the pump only seems a tiny bit more stiff than my old one felt after 4 years.
Best way to find bars is to look at the sample pump they supposed to provide you with and hold it in your hand while feeling the one in your scrotum. Once you feel it there’s little doubt of what you’re feeling. One issue is swelling or fluid in the area. The last couple I had by my Dr were simple to find even the day after surgery. Obviously I didn’t pinch it or the pump but definitely could have with no issues.

I have the OTR, not the classic. It took me easily 6 weeks to 2 months before I could deflate properly. On the rigidity in front, to hide it I got a motorcycle waist bag (look them up on Amazon). I've gotten so used to it, that I still wear them daily.
