Pumping - how long to temp gain half inch ?

Hi all

Just wondering , how long should it be to gain half inch via pumping ?

I am still only three weeks into it.

Doing 3 ten min sets.

I am 5 inch girth and from reports people see a temp increase of half an inch after pumping even if its only for hours. I have not had this effect , is it that I am putting on too little pressure ?

Thanks for any replies !! Really would be great to see it increase as its just not happening for me.

Thanks !

If you aren’t getting any expansion - even the unhelpful fluid kind - then it really sounds like you are not using enough pressure.

I can use huge amounts of pressure and get almost no temporary expansion (fluid build-up) at all unless my sets go over 45 minutes. Low pressures and long times give me fluid build-up. Everyone is different, so the OP’s question is impossible to answer. He will have to find out for himself as he experiments with different pressures/times.

Incidentally, fluid build-up is not something to encourage and is not necessary to growth.

Thanks for your replies. I think I will try using it ‘semi’ as maybe I am allowing my unit to have too much blood in it. It needs the fluid build up. I will experiment by going semi and allowing it to inflate from pressure then decreasing the pressure and then adding more to inflate it again. I really do want to see this half inch girth build up as at the moment doing my three ten min sets isnt getting me anywhere. I will report back when I get some success.

Just to be clear, the common fluid build up isn’t really a good thing. Try following the newbie routine (or at least a jelq warn up) before pumping. I’d stick to going in pretty erect.

Agreed.

I have been pumping for over four years. Though it took four years to gain 3/4 inch in “permanent” girth, I can now add another 1/2 inch in temporary girth during a 10 minute 5 hg session.

I tend to always get a little bit of edema with each session whether 15 minutes at 5 hg or 45 minutes at 4 hg ( not enough to generate a doughnut) and, accordingly, believe a little bit of “controlled edema” may be helpful in generating permanent girth. Any opinions on this?

Just an update as I started this post and I guess is any newbies question in pumping , how can I gain half inch from pumping , temporarily.

I first began with my rubbish tube from an online store with no guage. Cost about £30 .

I bought 2 cylnders from thickwall in the UK - they are so well made !! Omg . Talk about better quality. Two cylinders and pump came to over £100 but I figured it was money well spent.

I have been pumping between 3-5 for 10 mins at a time with rests of 10-20mins for a total of 30 mins just twice a week in a 1.75 cylinder - my girth is 5.5 base and mid is only 4.75.

I’m seeing no temporary gains at all. Its a real pity . I’m taking a break from it as my EQ is down and I honestly expected at least quater inch gain from first session as I thought that was what happened.

If anyone can give me some inspiration that would be great. Would have loved to have seen some expansion.

On the plus side the tubes from thickwall are great - I am glad I bought them and would recomend it a lot - they dig in to the base and really stretch things there ( not uncomfortably ) . They are so much better than the one I bought from a shop online. Would recommend them a lot even though its not working for me ( hopefully it will ).

It would be good if anyone has any input - or if maybe it just doesnt work for some people ? Would love to see a half inch temporary gain - I thought it would be really easy as when I bought my rubbish tube off sexshop the reviews on there from users who all seemed genuine reported immedate expansion.

The only thing that happened for me at the mo is a loss of EQ which I put down to the fatigue of doing the exercise. I think if I had of had the half inch increase I had hoped for my EQ maybe normal as I would be excited by it rather than depressed at the results.

Ok over to anyone who can help !

What vacuum level are you using?

Hi I’m using between 3-5. Mainly 3 then 4 for a min or so and back to 3. For a few secs 5 but its too much for me.

If you want temporary gains, you may well have to build up both your times and your pressures. For temp gains I use 7+ for 45mins to 1 hour. For much of my gaining pumping I am using 10++ for much shorter times. You have to experiment to see what works for you, but time is a major key with pumping.

I can gain a 1/4” of girth in about 10 minutes of pumping. For a full 1/2” I need close to an hour

Thanks for the info and pointers . Plus 10 on the guage ? How is that even possible !! OMG. I have tried 5 for about 3 seconds and thats my max ! I can’t even begin to imagine 10. I know I’m a noob so its only safe 3-5.

It helps to understand that perhaps my thought of an immediate expansion after ten mins isnt possible. I’m sure I’ve read other people having that effect though.

If other people just do ten mins and get a half inch expansion please can you comment ?

Thanks

Thanks for your reply.

Please can you tell me with the quater is that since you began , like in the first couple of weeks you were able to see that effect ? And at what vac is that ? I’m using 3-5.
For the half inch do you stay in the tube for a whole hour ? And again at what vaccum ?

Thanks for your help ! :-)
