Title: VED protocol prior to implant
Post by: Chiefy on July 05, 2019, 11:03:42 PM
Sorry if this the wrong place for this, but I read through the few threads in the VED area with no results.  In prep for my eventual implant, I plan to use a VED and restoreX (alternate days, unless doc says otherwise) for a couple months to hopefully regain some lost length. The restoreX I ordered won't be here until next week, but want to be sure I'm using the VED right in the mean time.  I know to go slow, but what should the VED protocol look like?  Pump up for X minutes, release and then repeat X times?  I don't think what I've been doing is right (2 minutes pumped, 30 seconds released, repeat 3 times).

Great question.  I know of lots of opinions but NO studies that suggest one pump time with so many repetitions gets better results than another inflation time with another number of repetitions.  I think what you are doing is good if you do it at least a couple of times a day.  I personally would also pump up one time right before traction and one right after traction because traction compresses the blood and oxygen from the penis.

Thanks.  I'd seen this, but unless I'm missing it, they don't say specifically what the protocol is; pump and leave it pressurized for 10 - 15 min or some sort of cycle of on or off.  Hawk's recommendation sounds logical to me, I'll give that a go unless doc advises otherwise.
