I value your input, so this is good to know. I have been getting 4 to 6 hours per day of vac hanging lately, and the comfort is far superior to my extender. I have Monkey Bars stealth cap, and I occasionally use that with my extender if I am laying down watching TV or something were I can’t get gravity to co-operate. In addition to the vac hanging I use golf weights if I am going shopping, or something where I need more cover-up. I wrap a bicycle pants leg protector around my ankle if the golf weights should slide off, so they stay in my pants, but since using the Non Slip Mat I haven’t had any problems with the golf weights coming off.
I make my Vac 3 weights out of pieces of pipe fitting filled with lead slugs left over from target practice. The weights are fairly small and not too obvious if I walk slow and wear lose pants. I just had another idea; using a walker would make me a appear older, and give me an excuse to walk slow and get less attention, and I may get another hour or two of hanging if I have to go somewhere. With the walker if someone saw something swinging in my pants, they would probably just think it was a piss bag. I hope you realize I am just having fun here.
I can easily add slugs to my home made weights to increase tension. The swinging and bobbing when I move around seems to add to the stretches intensity, and I would guess provide some increase in circulation.
I will know better in a few months if I get any gains from this experiment, now that I am just Vac hanging and jelqing, and not pumping. Come spring I want to switch over to just pumping. I don’t know if it makes sense to jelq when a person pumps, seems like they both do the same thing.
