Has anyone tried or seen Kaplan's head-cylinder

I was looking over the section on the suck-extender, and it seems a feasible idea; I was looking around to try and figure out a good cylinder to use, and I ran across Kaplan’s “head enlarger”; however, they ask for a description from the buyer rather than offering a size-range, and I have a feeling that they won’t measure or customize quite so closely as they would lead me to believe.

If this thing is huge, then it’s not going to work under pants very well at all, and I might as well continue with the sleeve construction that I’m toying with now.

If anyone can offer anything about this device, and the feasibility of using it with the suck-extender design, please feel free to chime in!

Any pumpers have any experience with this?

You know, that might be just the perfect thing for the suck-extendr idea. Best I remember from the pics it was pretty big. Probably a google search for the kaplan site will finds pictures and stats. I’ll try that now.

Yep. Here it is:

You know pulling from the head really works the internal structures better than pulling from the shaft. Or it feels that way to me, less skin pull and more lig and tunica pull. It’s just up until now grabbing the shaft has been the only way to attach any real weight comfortably. I think this might be worth looking into. It appears this head cylinder is pretty reasonably priced; only I don’t see how you would ever get any suction without pressing the tube against the fat-pad. Maybe our Suck-Extender designer will see the thread and chime in. I don’t think Kaplan’s Head Cylinder will enlarge your head, but it just might be a way to hang light to moderate weights from the tip of your dick comfortably.

hokshila: You just gave me a great idea: We don’t need no stinkin’ head enlarger: Here’s a way to save $60. and keep the size down.

Take the aquarium gravel cleaner tube ($7.00 PetsMart) and saw it off to a length of let say three or four inches long, maybe a little longer, just long enough to slip three or four baseball bat weights over it. Saw it smoothly so the end piece fits back over the shortened piece that you’ve just cut off. The tube cuts easy with a serrated knife or hack saw. Then take a bicycle inner tube that is a good deal smaller than the circumference of the cylinder. You’ll want a really tight fit here because the bond between the rubber and the plastic will have to hold together when the weight is applied. Perhaps a 1” diameter inner tube to stretch over a 2” gravel tube. Heat the rubber a few seconds in the microwave so it is warm and pliable, then stretch it over the other end of the now short gravel cylinder where the small 1” hole is in the center. The soft rubber would be the only thing to touch your dick, and because the cylinder is short it would take very little suction to make the rubber hold onto the glands. This apparatus might be too bulky to wear under your Levi’s but it could probably be worn under baggy pleated pants or even under loose fitting gym short to wear on the treadmill. Man, we need the Suck-Extender guy to see this thread. Perhaps we should attach a link to his thread, what do you think?

Hi, it’s the suckXtender guy (or one of us anyway)!:)

I just looked looked at the Kaplan head enlarger. My immediate thought is that you have to pump it. The beauty of the suckXtender attachment is it is so simple, there are no valves, tubes or pumping required.

The idea of cutting a length of gravel cleaner tube is exactly how I would suggest making a simple vacuum cup, except that the diameter (2”) might be too big. I have pretty good girth (about 53/4”) and use a 1.5”dia x 2”long cup.

The plastic canisters 35mm film comes in make pretty good vacuum cups and a photo developing shop will usually let you have some free.

Whatever you use for the cup, if you are cut you will need a sealing sleeve. I don’t need one but the bike inner tube or thumb off a rubber glove may work.

Anyone thinking of making a suckXtender stretcher or bungee type ADS should first experiment with the vacuum cup and seal. Maybe try hanging a couple of lbs with it, then when that works OK make the stretcher.

Hope that helps.

I just PMed mgus to call his attention to this thread. Then it dawned on me mgus is from Sweden and since there may not be a PetsMart in the neighborhood he probably won’t be familiar with our Aquarium Gravel Cleaner or baseball bat weights, but might get the idea by looking at the Head Enlarger on the Kaplan site link in post #4: Navigate to the Enlargement tab and then down to Cylinders to see Dr. Kaplan’s $60.00 version of my$7.00 PetsMart cylinder.

mbuc: Sorry, I guess we were posting at the same time. I’m a little confused. I guess I PMed your partner. He, mgus gave me a really good idea in another thread on pumping while doing cardio on an exercise bicycle. I think he was joking at first, but the more I think on it the better it sounds. This is of course a story for another thread, I’m afraid I’ve thrown THIS thread woefully off topic as it is. But all these ideas kind of relate so perhaps hokshila and the mods will forgive the thread hi-jacking and bear with me. I think your Suck-Extender would be stealth enough to be worn under gym shorts while on the treadmill, but I’m not sure the film canister and rubber glove finger would hold up to the bouncing around. Working the thighs (jogging) while wearing lead weights has really given me some pretty amazing girth and flaccid gains, but it seems logical to me that working thigh muscles while hanging with a device which attaches like your Suck-Extender would put more pull on the internal structures as opposed to the skin because it would be pulling from the tip, unturtling the penis, if you will. The reason I suggested the gravel cleaner is because of the handy little one way lock-off valve cap that comes on them. You wouldn’t really need a hand pump because the small cup as you call it would require such little vacuum, one could probably simply suck on the hose by mouth to generate enough suction to make it hold long enough for the weight to be lowered, then of course the weight itself would create more suction as the rubber tube pulled down, as you have explained in your thread. By stretching the very small inner tube over the bigger plastic tube it would make the contact between skin and rubber much more comfortable than skin against plastic, and the bicycle tube would be stronger than the rubber glove finger thus allowing more weight to be used. Not only that, but if Kaplan’s HEAD ENLARGER theory holds water, which it probably don’t, you would be both stretching ligs and enlarging the glands at the same time, a kind of suck/hang/pump extend in stealth while you exercise kind of deal. All for less than ten bucks. The reason I mentioned using the 2” tube is because it would give a tighter fit with the smaller inner tube, but the 1-12” tube might work better, although the baseball bat weights stretch perfectly over the 2” tube. I think three of them weigh about 2 pounds. Or three of Monty’s PE WEIGHTS would slip over the 1-1/2” tube giving you the same 2 Lbs, though you might have to use duct tape to keep them from pulling off the end cap.

Okay, I’m reading over some of this, and a lot of it makes sense in different ways. I’m printing it out to take a hard copy (no pun intended) to bed with me, to really digest the info and mull the ideas over.

My reasoning with the Kaplan head extender was based less on hanging weights and more on finding a way to use the extender that I already have as an attachment for gradual stretching; however, if the suck-extender idea really pans out, then a LOT more pressure could logically be applied based on the fact that you’d be using suction, but NOT cutting off (as I said, IF it pans out!) circulation anywhere.

I want to make sure that the design actually holds based on suction WITHOUT forcing loads of lymphatic fluid into the penis; lymphatic fluid may LOOK cool while it lasts, but I believe that with time it will lead to knots forming in parts of the tissues and unsightly bulges, an overall misshapen appearance.

I’ve also been toying with an idea for a sleeve. I was talking with the Cap’n, and he had a good idea, one which I might be able to make work if I can finish finding the proper ingredients. As it stands, I have the advantage of working for a company that produces foam and fiberglass products in various densities and sizes and shapes. I’m scouting for things that can be used to hold the penis in place via a collar, again without cutting off the circulation.

And by golly, it’s tougher than it seems coming up with a design that really does this! I admire those who have managed it thus far, you’re better engineers than I!!

More on this as it develops, eh?

Hokshila

PS — Girtha, how the HELL did you manage this kind of girth-growth? Feel free to PM me if you would, rather than sending me all over Creation looking for your routine, but MAN I’m interested! I need SOME length, but I need a LOT of girth! Frankly, overall I think my goal involves another 1.5 inches, maybe 2 of length, but I want another 2.5-3 of girth!

BG,

Thanks for calling my attention to this thread. This is a melting pot of ideas - fun!

I use a film canister & cutoff dishglove finger. I find that after ~2 hours I get lymph buildup, but since the canister limits expansion, my glans takes on a weird shape when it expands longitudinally (/forum/showthre … ?t=48023&page=4).

I have not read up on pumping, but I’ve understood that the lower the vacuum, the shorter the time. I am convinced that it is possible to make a vacuum stretcher/hanger that will take heavy loads, but that it will have to be used in shorter sets - there was a thread a couple of months ago on a combined hanger/pump that was patented (mbuc, you posted in that thread. Link?) The reasoning that mbuc and I had was to find something where the tradeoff between time/restriction of blood flow/applied load would work together. For ADS-loads (3~6 lbs) it seems to work well, and as far as I can tell everybody seems to take off their rigs regularly for checkups, massage and pit stops, regardless of type, brand or fashion.

The head expander from Kaplan (or BigGirthas petsmart version) is probably excellent, but since I have not used anything that size I can only suggest caution with regards to time/load. If the aqaurim gravel thing is that cheap (I’ll be on my way to a pet store one of these days!) one could buy two sizes at once. One thing that is really good is to be able to actually see what is going on with your glans without having to take everything off.

Looking forward to hear more on your developments!

I have one of them, never used it. Anyone want it? 1 1/2 in opening 5in inside diameter. PM me for any info. It is a Kaplan
