@fritzo This stuff gets to be quite an investment. I ordered all three size blue rings at once in case the one I was guessing at didn't work. So I have all three to choose from on hand. They were about $18 each, but if they work and are comfortable, it's worth it I figured.
I have the Timm Medical Osbon Erecaid Esteem Manual Vacuum Erection Pump and the method for loading the rings onto the tube is really handy as long as lube is used. Remember it's all about water based so the rings are not destroyed. My pump even came with a tube of their really good lube.
I would love to hear what you learned about vibration rehab....

@tmitch I'm no penile therapy expert, but it looks like the experts are working on trials to fully determine the benefit of using vibration therapy post prostatectomy. I suspect the therapists are looking at it since vibration therapy has been studied for men with spinal cord injuries, where medical grade vibration therapy is now appears to be a standard methodology. However, it doesn't look to be fully determined post prostatectomy, so there are big trials underway right now.
My quick analysis reading between the lines: it can't hurt and it might help. It is supposed to helpful for achieving orgasm, even with a flaccid penis. The medical grade ones are expensive; Viberect Pro $400 and the FERTICARE 2.0 $740 (stupid expensive) Some have recommended the consumer model Pulse Solo $120 as a cheaper option.
I'd be curious what other peoples experiences are???
