Your heating pad routine?

I have been reluctant to try a heating pad, because I mostly use an extender with a strap on a short silicone tube. I worry that sweatiness will make the extender more difficult. Probably this wouldn’t be an issue with the vacuum-cup extenders, but I have one with a strap.

I finish my day with a 30 minute pump, and I am wondering about working the heating pad into that somehow. I remember reading some jelqing instructions which suggested using the heating pad for 10 minutes or so prio to prevent injuries. Another thought would be to wrap a heating pad around the pump cylinder and keep a constant low vacuum for some period of time.

Most of the discussion I have seen on heating pads are pretty technical about the various kinds of infrared frequencies. I am totally new to using the heating pad. (EDIT: I also wondered about radiant heat of some kind that would pass through the cylinder and hit the penis surface. Maybe this is the idea behind infrared?)

Yes, my FIR pad definitely made my extender slip (I have quick extender pro) unless I made it extra tight, which was a pain. Making the extender tight made my dick number & I finally realized, my base girth is way too much for my extender, so I ended up going back to ADS.

For jelqs, I use a space heater & point it at my unit (it blows hot air).

Lately the only heating I do is 10 minute water pumping session (with hot water). My vac ADS seems to keep me warm enough with all the layers of rubbber — brand is StealthForMen (and I started noticing NIR/ FIR heating could not only make it slip off, but would wear out the parts faster.. and I’m out of spare parts lately & annoyed with a manufacturer- stealthformen becuase my last shipment was lost & I"ve been waiting 3-4 months for spare parts).

Thanks, I suspected it would cause a problem with the strap-type extender. I think I will try just using a heating pad for 10-15 minutes before using the pump.

Did you buy the StealthForMen heating pad to go with your ADS from them? I don’t own either product, but I have been considering their heating pad. Probably I will buy something cheaper from Amazon.

Personally, I use two methods: I immerse my penis in a glass of warm water for about 5 minutes, or, more recently, I use NIR for 30 minutes before each session.

Hmmm, I hadn’t thought of the warm water. That’s clever.

The method of fully immersing the penis in a glass of water at 55-60 degrees Celsius is probably the most practical and effective way to properly warm up the penis!

I’m using a hot towel.
