Water Retention

I am using a luv pump, which is not a water based one, and wanted to know if there is a pump besides the bathmat that will give me a more even pump through my whole shaft? Am having some water Water Retention from my current pump and will soon need an upgraded.

Whether you’re pulling, for example -4hg with a bathmate or -4hg with your luv pump I can’t imagine there being all that much of a difference assuming the dimensions are the same. It’s probably just your bodies reaction to the amount of stress you’re imparting on it.

I’m not very experienced in pumping so I could be wrong, but that’s my opinion.

Goodluck,

Water equalizes differently than Air. I don’t know enough about the physics behind it to tell you more than that but my experience with water pumping has a more uniform effect on my cock than air pumping but water is too damn finicky. That and the Penomet gave me massive gaiter bite so while I’ve moved to a larger water pump, it’s based on the performance of the Penomet and its water mechanism.

To the OP:

Are you sure you’ve sized your tube correctly? One of my biggest issues getting pumping to work at all was sizing the cylinders, for water or air, properly. A too large cylinder will definitely give uneven results, this I’ve seen many times for myself.

Water is an incompressible medium, air is very compressible. Replace compressible by “elastic” and you get an image of what that means.

Any change in cylinder pressure (negative or positive) in water is immediately transmitted to the penis. Air pumping has a bit a “slower” and “elastic” way of transmitting pressure. At the end of the day, pressure/vacuum remains pressure / vacuum in mmHg, but the way the pressure change is made is quite different.

Another point is that water can be warm, therefore transmitting heat while you pump. This is an advantage in my eyes.

So these two points may explain the difference between air and water pumping and the effectiveness of results for the individual users. Water pumping developed quite a hype when Bathmate started the marketing, but I must say that water pumping should be more effective for the reason of hydraulics working better than oneumatics - strictly speaking in terms if physics. I guess that is the bottomline idea behind the messages especially the Bathmate company marketing tries to tell us.

Unfortunately, most water pumps come without a manometer so it’s hard to compare results because of the missing vacuum measurements. Plus the risks of overpumping is higher when you can’t measure the vacuum.

And the really big disadvatage of Bathmate and similar commercial water pumps is tube size. Tubes have to be individual - after all every penis is different. This (and the high costs) has kept me from buying a Bathmate until now. Maybe the right strategy should be to PE until you have the right dimensions for a commercial water pump and THEN ONLY switch to it.

But I have read about folks using regular air pumps or home-made pumps filled with water - and having an individual cylinder, of course. Sounds like a solution to me.

Thanks for all the advice.

My tube is 2.somthing inch which is a bit bigger than my girth, but not by a lot. Am not sure how luvs tubes are measured it says 2.75 but AM 3.5 in girth so I think their system is off. But anyway I left room in the tube for growth.
