SOMACorrect help

Hi,

I now have my SOMACorrect and have been practising with it but I’ve run into a problem. The device comes with 3 tubes and you can put one tube inside the big tube to make it smaller. I tried that with the medium one and it was agony…far too small.
So I ditched it and now just use Tube C(the biggest) which is a lot better but it gets really tight and uncomfortable as my erection gets bigger. I think it is preventing me getting fully erect because it would be too painful. I’ve been using loads of lube and taking it very slowly, even releasing the pressure between each 3/4 pumps because it is just too uncomfortable. I contacted iMedicare who thought I might be sucking in scrotal tissue into it, so they told me to pull the scrotum down when pumping. I tried that tonight but it makes no difference, there is simply NO room for any tissue from anywhere!

I (like most men probably) thought I wasn’t very well endowed although I do seem to have quite a big girth at the base…I’m obviously a grower rather than a shower! I really don’t think the vacuum tube is big enough and when you insert the ring it makes it even tighter.

anyone else had issues or got any suggestions?

Derek

I have the EX tube due to my glans size. I do manage to pull down my testicles so they don't get sucked up but occasionally I do manage to get some of the fat above my penis up into the tube and that can be very uncomfortable. When that happens I just release the pressure and go again. I find it helpful to pump in front of a full length mirror so I can see over my stomach. Never thought I would be writing something like this a year ago.😬

I got the XL Cylinder today with the Grey Insert and it works fine. Yes you do have to be careful about sucking in your scrotum but I don’t have the pain I was getting from the fact that the Large size was simply too small in diameter. The XL cylinder cost me £51 and TBH I am  disappointed with iMedicare and will be asking for a refund now that I have proved the point. The 3 cylinders they supply are simply not fit for purpose IMHO and at no point in my correspondence did they mention about sizing. I’ve always considered myself on the small size(maybe just a typical man complex!) so I’m not sure how anyone well endowed would cope. It’s not the length, it’s the girth that counts…now where have I heard that before?😊

So I will be able to keep pumping in the hope that it helps with my Peyronie’s….already I can feel a difference with more blood flow to my penis.

Im taking it in my hand luggage on holiday this week so that could prove interesting at security…my wife will use a different lane I think🤣🤣🤣

Hi Derek

Are you wanting to use the erection for penetration during sex or just to keep the penis healthy - if for the latter then I don't see there is a need to obtain the largest possible erection. You just need to have it grow to a comfortable size to fill it with oxygenated blood.

You can obtain similar devices that are sold as 'toys' online that will probably contain a larger erection. I bought one for £4 online and it will handle something around 7" long - and that was sold as 'small'. So that may be an option for you?

I had a similar problem when I started using SOMAerect over 12 years ago. I solved the problem by not using the cushioning insert thus providing more room. I have used both the mechanically operated and the battery operated versions of this pump but when the battery operated one failed I had to change to another brand (PRIMUS) because iMedicare stopped making the battery operated device which I use without the cushioning insert. You would think that without the cushioning insert you may not be able to achieve a good seal but I manage this by putting the rings (yes, I use two rings for long lasting and stronger erections) on the cylinder close to the base which provides the 'cushioning' effect and a good seal provided you put sufficient lubricant on the base and the rings. I don't use the loading cone either. I am able to create a strong erection in under 3 minutes. If you let me have your email address I would be happy to send you a live video clip which I have produced for private circulation.

I doubt I can give you any better advice than the iMEDicare specialists.

It does sound like you might be too large for the reduced size tubes.
If you use the pump without any of the narrower tubes, does it still exert the right forces to be straightening the erection? If so, that's probably working.

Are you lubing the inside surface of the tube?

Loading cone is not supposed to be used with the Surefit silicone rings, as the slightest scratch can cause them to break. You're supposed to just stretch them over the open end of the tube.

Frankly, I've never dared to try the other rings, and it was only Surefit rings that were demoed on me.

Hi,

yes I am using loads of lube, inside, on the front edge of the ring and on the penis.
 I want it for 2 reasons, one to sort out my Peyronie’s disease and also have intercourse when I feel able to (the pain caused by Peyronies when it is flexed a little means I can’t at the moment). There’s not much difference between the somaerect and Somacorrect only you get more inner cylinders which I can’t use anyway because they are too small!
I already have a lovehoney pump which is MUCH bigger and allows me to get fully erect, but it’s  too big because it sucks in EVERYTHING….OUCH! The pump mechanism is lousy on it compared to Somacorrect.

Solution seems easy tome…..just supply me with a bigger cylinder….XL. But they seem reluctant to do that.

Pratap, I will try your idea….I did try it without the ring but it was too uncomfortable against my body when I started to pump.

And here was me always thinking I had a small Willy!🤷🏼‍♂️
