First Blister From Pumping

Got my first blister from pumping today. One large one on the head and three tiny ones. Only thing that changed in my routine was using coconut oil for lube. Do you think the oil could generate more heat? I typically used water based lube or aloe Vera in the past.

It’s extremely painful. I wear loose fitting boxers and I’m in a great deal of pain every time my head brushes against the lining of my underwear. Have a feeling I’m going to be away from PE for a couple of weeks while this heals.

Any advice would be appreciated. Be safe guys!

This is really a gprent question but…were your pressures and duration the same? Have you run the same rest schedule? Have you had some unusual gains or losses in the last day or so?

If all of those are equal to the norm, I’d be led to believe it’s the lube, as that’s the only factor that changed.

How much pressure are you using and for how long and how frequently do you pump? Any rest days?

The blisters are not formed from heat, but by lymph fluid being drawn by the vacuum under the skin of the head. I can’t imagine it was the lube unless maybe it was some king of allergic reaction or something.

Pressures and duration were the same. Always do 30 min sets. Haven’t pumped as consistently lately but still 1-2 times a week. (Before this I was pumping roughly 3x a week on average). I did reach the furthest in the tube to date though. I did pack the tube to my glans but I’ve done that numerous times.

One more question. Were you packing the tube when this happened?

Edit: I just saw that you were packing the tube. Blisters for me only formed when I was packing and it is because all of the pressure is concentrated on the head. The longer you pump while packed, the greater the chance of getting blisters. So if you get packed fairly early in your 30 minute routine, the likelyhood of blisters is increased.

The pain is unbearable. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. Also, when I was coming out of the tube the large blister popped. I poured hydrogen peroxide on it knowing it was going to be extremely painful but I didn’t want to risk infection. Wow….just wow.

I did pack earlier than I typically do. Would you recommend ending the session once the tube is packed? Any advice for this ugly ass painful blister on my glans? It’s a little smaller than a dime.

This should be fun explaining to the wife when she wants to have sex.

Read my edit above.

Yes, blisters are awful and once you get them, you get real careful not to let it happen again. They can take a long time to heal completely unfortunately. I would try pain relief neosporin cream if you have it.

It’s my personal policy not to pack anymore. That is why I use a tube ¼ inch larger then one I can pack.

And I always warn guys that want to pump for length by packing that blisters are a definite risk and should be avoided at all costs.

I had two small blisters from my vacuum attachment last week.

It took a week to heal, I stopped all PE and smeared the blisters with aloe vera gel, argan oil, pure coconut oil and sometimes helichrysum essential oil (but that stings a bit.) several times each day. They are all known to assist with cellular renewal of skin

I made the mistake of applying heat on the second day, should have applied something cold. I kept my blisters moist but some online sites recommend allowing it to dry out by sleeping naked for example.

It’s best if you can avoid bursting the blisters but if they do burst, tea tree oil is recommended.

This is why we have gprent.

I can’t pack a tube due to mid shaft issues with it being too much smaller than base girth. So honestly, I’m just unfamiliar with that cause and effect (though he has to have said this before) of blister formation.

It sounds more painful than my recent heat related blister I got from pumping. I’m honestly sorry you’re going through it.

Thank you guys for all the info. It’s appreciated.

Ya I consider myself to have a pretty high tolerance for pain. This is up there pain wise.

I was planning on taking a deconditioning break soon anyway so as far as PE I’m not concerned. I just want to be able to walk around without pain. Think this will also take a toll on my gym time which I’m not happy about.

Blister is already less sensitive today. Still a bright red color but less painful when my glands rub against my boxers. I’m just happy it’s not as sensitive to touch. Hopefully this will heal in a week.

Blister sucks I had my first like 4 months ago. Took about a week to heal.

Feels better today. I even got a great workout in. Hopefully my diet/health will assist to heal quickly. I already miss doing jelqs and stretches.
