Partially pumped

Postby sandy1258 » Mon Aug 18, 2014 11:23 am

Hi Guys, I was wondering if some of you with the inflatable some times leave it partially inflated just to flatten out the kink of latex? Because it feels funny to pee and you have this knot on the side??? :mrgreen:

Sandy,
I had the Titan installed on 6/11/14 and when fully deflated, the left cylinder bulges/kinks out and creates a sore spot. Though I am getting more used to it, and it is becoming less sore, I often pump up enough so that the sharp edge of the bulge or kink in the cylinder is decreased. If I pump up further to maybe 3/4 erection, it goes completely away, but then hiding the bulge or erection becomes problematic.

Sandy,
The kink or fold in the cylinder is common ... after a while you won't even notice it. For now as Bill suggests adding a pump or two will help ...

I've had mine (Titan Coloplast) since December 2013 so not quite a year. But I also was wondering if I should pump it up for maybe 5-10 minutes a day to keep it ready for when the opportunity arises. My wife is and has been going through the change so sex is very sporadic. :|
