Vacuum hanger pain just above glans area

Hi guys, I am using the LG Hanger with 3 lbs. I have found pain experienced just above the glans again on the anterior side/top side. I have included a simulated picture below. Today after five minutes I had to stop because of pain. Chamber was packed and vacuum was drawn slowly after 15 mins with 7.5 HGs.

Today I tried foreskin over glans and had to stop almost immediately after. Experienced same pain from yesterday. Stopped after 5 mins.
Yesterday, I attempted foreskin pulled back tightly and experienced pain in the same area and revealed some discoloration in the veins . However, no deformation on glans. Stopped after 20 mins.
Day before that, attempted foreskin pulled back with skin loose and the skin pushed up against the glans, deforming the tip of the glans.

Perhaps the weight is too heavy? Or would the fatigue be on the base instead of my effected area? Apologies, I am very confused, I wish I knew what I was doing incorrectly.

How is your tape method? What kind of tape are you useing ? Try useing micro pore tape follow LG hangers taping method. Also, make sure the chamber isn’t too big. LG takes erect measurements but you enter the chamber flaccid . 🤷🏻‍♂️ The other thing that may be causing the pain is the sleeve folding in as you pump. If it folds in at around 5 pressure , the chamber may be too big .

This has been my experience. I ordered a smaller chamber and it fixed these issues for me .

Also if your new at the LG hanger you may need conditioning. Try less weight if the above mentioned isn’t an option for you .

Thank you so much Tommy! The sleeve does fold inside the vacuum! I thought it was completely normal that this was occurring, so I am glad that your answer was the only thing saving me from not giving up PE (And spending $400+ on the LG!)

Try useing a glans micropore tape . Then a glans cap over the tape. Also conditioning the skin is a must . I want to say it’s not normal for the sleeve to fold but I got a smaller chamber from LG and it helped out a lot with the folding and pain. Not saying to buy another chamber it’s just what worked for me. Try different things.

If I may ask— so the glans is supposed to pack the chamber completely so that the tape rubs against the inside walls tightly? This is the “anchor”? With tape, I am left with a quarter inch of room either side. I guess this is why gravity is trying to grab whatever it can. I am now just realizing that perhaps I didn’t have an exact understanding of the concept of vacuum hanging!

Edit: Regarding skin conditioning, is this the skin closer to the ridge of the glans or the base of the pubic area?

In your experience, did it take long to condition this area of the skin?

Correct, the friction between the tape and the chamber takes a lot of the weight.
Why not contact LG direct or through his support thread in the products forum, he’s the best person to advice you.

Yes, thanks so much for responding, this helps me quite a bit during this process. I did contact LG, who did not have the answers that Tommy44 shared. I think I have gone a week in the dark with this issue, I am so glad another user on Thunder’s had the same problem I did. Thankful for such a great community.

Pinching is usually skin being creased or nipped by being between the chamber and the sleeve, extra taping on the area where the two join can help and also taping and putting the chamber on as erect as possible.
The less air you have to suck out to reach your desired pressure the less the sleeve gets pulled into the rim of the chamber which will nip.

Try less air pressure and less weight . Are you feeling the discomfort from the sleeve or the chamber? If you feel discomfort from the sleeve try useing a little bit of coconut oil on the skin. It makes the friction less painful off the skin while skin conditions . NOT in the tape area. If you feel discomfort from the chamber maybe try the tape and maybe a glans cap.

Thanks again for the help. I feel the chamber is packed well and the sleeve is comfortable. Everything feels great and ready for hanging before attaching the weights. After a minute or so, the pain is perhaps a half inch above the edge of the glans edge (ridge?). It’s like gravity needs a point to bear the weight, and for me, in my situation, it is that specific area. However, from what I read, the only uncomfortable feeling should only be felt at the base near the ligaments.

I have since purchased an eBay Size Master Pro (small bell) and am going to try it when it arrives. It appears there is a small 0.125” difference only. I hope this will make a difference. If it doesn’t, I think either I am too skinny with shaft girth (2 3/4”) and will clamp until I am thicker? LG, however, does not seem to think this is an issue, though.

So, finally have the results after weeks of testing every aspect of hanging for my situation. In summary, the bell/chamber is indeed too big. LG Hanger has a great cylinder, pump, and sleeve, however it needs to fit well. I have purchased an inexpensive alternative on eBay and it does not produce any type of stress on the head or above it. Thanks all for the help.
