First Blister From Pumping

I have got a few glans blisters. First few times from overdoing it with a vacextender and then during dynamic water pumping for a fairly long duration under a high max vacuum.

I believe surface moisture on the glans skin seems to promote blisters. I now use baby powder (corn starch) on my glans with a condom on top and held in place by a silicone sleeve during water pumping and do not get blisters even though I dynamically pump for over 12o mins in the range 3 - 10” Hg I attribute that to the drying action of the corn starch, If you are air pumping you might just try the baby powder by itself.

When I got blisters I used Vitamin E cream to help healing. Being uncut helped as I used my foreskin as protection during the healing period - 1 to 2 weeks depending on the size of blister.

I guess one big problem with promoting specific information on pressure ranges - how much is good for beginners, how much is bad etc - is that most vacuum pumps are very cheaply made in china and I wouldn’t consider the pressure gauge any trustworthy. It might be useful to keep track individually - you know what it means for a given device if it shows x Hg. But on another device the same pressure is given as x * 1.5 Hg.

Note that not cutting a hole in the condom is preferred; no fluids randomly exiting condom to stain pants. Just remove and replace the condom (over glans only, rolled up base nested behind coronal ridge) with every urination until healed.

I’ve had some doozies, like bigger than a quarter doozie…twice…I truly feel like this sometimes: See image below>

Happily, I’m a crazy fast and complete healer…no sign of any disruption to my glans’ skin after 4 weeks in both cases…there will NOT be a third!

Hope you’re past the excruciating phase 8x6…and that you’re a fast learner :) .

Thankfully I am past the the excruciating stage! The blister is healing steadily every day.

Good to learn that 8ty6er. May you be smarter than me and the minkey by not revisiting this lesson.

Blister is completely healed after 10 days. I took some advice from TP and constantly applied Aloe Vera and Neosporin. Feels good to be back!
