Pump Is Not Sealing

Hi, I am a newbie to this so please be patient with me as I learn. I got my first pump a few weeks ago and I am having an issue with it. The pump has a silicone pad but I cannot get it to make a complete seal when I try to use the pump. If I press firmly into my body and hold it there, the pump will sorta maintain pressure. As soon as I am not holding firmly the pressure bleeds off and I have to continuously pump to create some vacuum pressure. Any ideas of what it could be or what I could be doing differently to get it to seal properly? Any advice is appreciated.

Can you post a pic of what your pump looks like?

Have you done any trimming of your pubes to help get a better seal?

Are you using any lube to help get a better seal?

Try a little Vaseline on the rim if it’s a standard air pump.

Hey King!

Welcome to Thunders

It is always recommended to start with a beginners routine (doesn’t have to be the JP) and continue with it for 90 days or until you stop gaining. Start slowly and build up to the full routine over a few weeks. Best to condition your dick before actively using a pump. Does your pump have a vacuum gauge? As your dick starts to expand, the vacuum will decrease. You need to keep the vacuum level at about 5 in/hg.

Jelq with an erection level between 40 and 70%. Do not grip too tight, just enough to feel blood moving up the shaft . When stretching, grab your shaft about one inch below the glans and do not pull too hard, just enough to feel a slight stretch. Let your PIs be your guide as to how hard to do your exercise.

Don’t forget to take good starting measurements and photos so you have a solid base to compare your gains to.

PE safely and good luck with your endeavors .

How do I condition before a start a session? My pump does have a gauge so I can monitor the pressure. I just didn’t know what a good target range for pressure was good. I do keep myself groomed well down there. I haven’t tried vaseline but I do use water based lube. Lately I haven’t really had the time or privacy to do anything consistently but hopefully I will soon. I will post a photo of the pump later this afternoon.

The other thing not mentioned is tube size.

If your pump tube is too much bigger than the base diameter of your penis, it has to seal on the end instead of sealing on the inside of the tube at the base.
