Spider Veins and Red Skin from Pump

Hey all,

Would someone please move this thread into the "Penis Pump" category?

Just had some questions for you all. I am currently using a 2" LeLuv pump for my girth exercises mixed with some manual stretching and ADS work. I noticed recently that the veins in the dick are getting much larger and when using the pump at max pressure (I only go up to 5hg) I can see small purple / red veins in varying areas under my skin. Some of the large blue veins even seem to be "looser"—like I can wiggle them under the skin—when they are inflated and I am using a cock ring. My skin also tends to turn red in the pump. Are these things common? Am I just using too much pressure? Aside from the gauge, how do you know when to stop adding more pressure? I generally just go until around 5 hg, which also happens to be the point at which my dick will not longer stretch more. Am I doing this wrong?

I have read online that injury can cause spider veins, and I would really prefer not to have spider veins all of my dick (though they do tend to disappear more when flaccid). Also, are the enlarged blue / normal veins something to worry about? I am genuinely worried about causing irreparable / debilitating damage to my unit, which of course would just be awful. I do not experience any pain or anything else really that I notice.

Thanks for your input!
