I’m glad you say that 3”Hg will support 5lb weight/tension - that is the ball park figure I thought the vacuum should be but had never measured it.
I notice you haven’t shaped the base ring to make it thinner between where the two rods attatch. Is it comfortable to wear straight up and straight down?
What are your impressions/thoughts on using it so far?
You don’t need a vacuum gauge, you can just apply a light vacuum, and you can judge it by hanging a wt and seeing whether it is enough to hold it.
Shaping the base ring…hmmmm…yes that would help! And no its not comfortable SU or SD just because of it pulling the shaft up and over the rim…great suggestion!!!
My impressions so far…far too big to conceal.
Great in that it distributes the vacuum force over the entire glans which makes it both more comfortable and serves to expand the glans at the same time….great combo!
Far too easy to use too much force. What really is needed is to put on either the wt or the gauge and measure the force each time. As of yet I can’t really acurately judge it.
Over all, I think this is really the way to go. I add pumping 1-3 days a week, and I think its a great program.
Its just a matter of finding best time/force/frequency.
The great thing about these two together is its quantifiable and reproducable.
We will be able to pass on what works for us, which will then give others a fairly good starting point to reproduce the results.
I just made a vacuum cup with a valve for hanging Monty’s golf wts.
Its even simpler and easier that the last one. Its to keep Monty’s wts on easily and solidly, while also getting a glans expansion.
Its made from a baby food juice bottle and the green valve I bought at Petsmart in the aquarium section.
I will use some bicycle inner tube around the neck for improved seal, like on the one pictured above.
