Water in an air pump
Some things I have been trying. Please chime in with advice and suggestions.
I have a LeLuv pump with a 2” cylinder and a 2.25” cylinder.
I have purplish gaskets for the cylinder base. They are silicone I think-stretchy.
Air pumping with the 2” cylinder, I fill up the cylinder after about 30 minutes. Usually pump at the 5 mark, increasing to 8 after a bit, and reducing pressure to about 2 every ten minutes, resting for a few, and then back up. There is edema though. I’ve gotten the donut puff around the circumcision scar, but not in a long time.
Air pumping with the 2.25” cylinder, I usually swell up so that I can’t go back into the 2”. Thing is, the base will fill the cylinder, and I get extra expansion on the left just beyond the base. Feels weird.
I have pumped with air in the 2” then, when I fill up the cylinder, or get close, I switch to the 2.25.
When I pull out, my penis is 7”, maybe a little more, in circumference. However, I do get edema, so I don’t think that really counts. Later, my penis looks puffy and a bit deformed for a bit. Stretching makes is look normal again.
A week or so ago I dropped the pump, right on the gauge, on tile… and it’s no longer working right. The plastic cover came off and the needle rests at like 15 permanently. So I’ve been pumping by feel.
Yesterday, based on a few posts here, I decided to try the water pumping. I figured the busted pump had nothing to loose.
Sat in the tub for a bit in hot water. Filled the 2” tube with hot water, and pumped. The air pump obviously isn’t designed for that, so it took a little more to pump. However, my penis filled up the 2” tube immediately. There was zero time for increased swelling, my penis just instantly swelled up to fill the tube.
Penis was the same length as with air pumping, but swelled up to the max. I pumped by feel, and noticed just small amounts of a pump seemed to increase the suction a lot. Didn’t want to hurt myself, so stopped when I reached that swell and felt like it would be too much to go on. Anything painful and I immediately stop and decrease.
The purple gasket was pretty useless, as it would slide off and get pulled inside the tube.
With the 2.25” tube the length was about 1/2” to 1” shorter than the with the air pumping, but the swelling was even more. I did not fill up the tube with this one, but close! It was more difficult to get all the air out because I would have to point the tube up for the bubble, and it felt like a testicle would get sucked in. Happened once or twice before with air and not pleasant at all.
I found it interesting that I got no edema afterwards.
When done, I put on two girth bands for a bit, then took one off. The two didn’t seem to make sense since with one band my penis stayed the same length but swelled up more after the girth band.
I also tried using my mouth to suck out the water instead of using the pump. It seemed to work, but the valve in the tube allowed vacuum to leak out immediately on stopping the suction. Funny enough, with the hand pump, I was able to remove it and the vacuum would hold. Going to look for one of those shut off valves that I saw in a post here.
The hot water certainly seemed to be a great asset to pumping. Also, the water seems to contribute to my penis swelling to fill up the tube immediately, without getting any edema, while using air it takes about half an hour and I get edema.
When I pull out of the water pumping, my penis is thicker, but does not stay as thick as with the air pumping. This seems to be clearly because with air I am getting edema keeping it so swollen, while the water provides a more realistic/true result.
I find the water pumping a lot better than the air, as there is no lube, the heat is a nice factor, and the swelling seems better, and no edema.
Negative about water pumping is that remaining standing requires holding the tube, as it is very heavy. I’d like to find a way to put on the tube, pump it, then go on about my shower without having to hold the tube in place. Maybe I’ll make some king of belt to push the tube into my pad.
I think the 2.25” tube is too wide, and the 2” may be too narrow, so maybe a 2.125” tube will be good.
So any ideas from this? Recommendations?
This was my first time doing this, so I’ll have to see what happens. Thinking of pumping with water either every other day, or maybe two days on, one off. I can always vary it after a few weeks to keep from getting too used to the routine.
