Pumps any recommendations?
When after surgery should you first use a penis pump? Anyone using the Vacurect 10 ring pump and are you finding it easy to use, successful, would you recommend it?

I have 2 different pumps, wasn’t sure to start with, found that over time things have been getting a little better, prescribed medication as well which is very helpful, massage items seem to stimulate the right area nerve stimulation is part of the issue, just be careful of the mental attitude also can be a bit frustrating at times, all the best in your journey.
My urologist suggested the vacurect 10 ring. The 5 smallest rings are very small. I should have gone with the 5 ring set. It’s easy to use, I’ve only just started using it this week, and so far, I wouldn’t call it a success. But it’s early days.
