Vacuum Hanging

I made myself a vacuum hanger like this one and I used a rubber glove finger. However, putting it on or taking it off without pain is a bitch.

I’ll try to make one using punch balloon, but I still have yet to find them in my town.

Would condom work? I’m afraid it would be too loose for flaccid penis.

Don’t wanna sound stupid but where is the thread for a DIY vac hanger? And what is a monkey bar vacuum hanger? I can’t find anywhere that’s selling vacuum hangers and I really want to get one to try it out.

Good thread about vacuum hanger is in my post, just above yours. Or maybe you’re talking about The SuckXtender?

Monkeybar used to make vacuum hangers, but discontinued production for reasons unknown to me. It worked just like the one in thread I mentioned, using a cup and silicone sleeve.

Vacuum hanger 2 has been announced, by the way.

Hey UpTo7 thanks for the info, I checked it out and it looks pretty solid, but I’m personally stumped as to where to get a cap that’s thick enough to get the job done and that won’t crack (as someone on the thread mentioned) during the drilling.. I’m not so concerned about the drilling because there’s one hundred and one ways to get around that. But I am concerned about finding the right material that would fit over my flaccid glans and provide enough suction to create that vacuum.

I did however after my post up there find a thread where the OP posted about Chinese Acupuncture Cups which I did find, but need to improvise the sleeve thing.

Just browse your local market and find a shampoo or deodorant or something that has appropriately sized cap, that seemed to work for a lot of guys. You don’t have to drill anything, just use packing tape, it’s strong enough.

Sleeve can be made out of punch balloon, rubber glove finger or anything similar. I’m personally going to make my own silicone sleeves if I ever manage to get my hands on Ecoflex Supersoft 0030 silicone.

Hmm the punch balloon is pretty interesting. And yea I saw the thread about making your own sleeves and stuff but that was from back in ‘08 I believe, did the whole trading the materials and going down the list thing die out?

I actually am going to do a little research and see about silicone manufacturers because I have found one already and I’m going to see about custom sleeve making or something of the sorts. What are the ideal sleeve dimensions?

Here’s the thread about making your own silicone sleeves: Silicone Sleeves - Make your own

You can find some ideas about dimensions in there.

Chain of material sending got broken as expected because someone didn’t keep his word and kept the materials for himself.

I want Ecoflex Supersoft 0030 silicone because it’s verified that it works. 0010 is too soft and 0050 is too crude so I don’t want to waste money and experiment looking for something else that will work. Better solution is actually finding a way to acquire Ecoflex Supersoft 0030 and be sure that no money is spent without need.

Trial kit of Ecoflex Supersoft 0030 is around $28 I think and it’s enough for dozens of sleeves according to tps so it’s a safe bet.

I’ve been using the 3M micropore and I’ve still been getting bad hickies (not to mention it’s painful to peel off) that limit how many split sets I can do.

Has anyone tried monkeybar’s no-fluid tape? It’s a little thicker and I wonder if this is a better option than micropore…

I really dont know how you guys can put on 3m micropore tape on the tip of your penis head. Its feels like a knife to the tip of my penis, not to mention it hurts every mm just taking it off.

This is an awesome thread. Man how did I miss this one!

I have questions from vac hanging experts.

I ordered vacADS set that comes with blue sleeve. Is this one too soft to hang higher weights?

After 2 weeks of hanging (almost everyday), I have to take a break. My gland keeps sliding off as weight is applied, and I didn’t realize it was causing the tip to turn darker (almost like bruises). After reading this thread, I need to keep the head as tightly fit to the cap as possible.

Can someone please answer the following questions?

1) vacADS from Monkey comes with 3M Micro Foam tape for taping the pee hole so fluid comes build up in the cap.
- I read that a few of you are using 3M Micropore tape. Is that a better choice than Micro Foam?

2) For those of you who wrap for vac hanging, how much do you wrap? Some people on this thread wrap the WHOLE GLAND with micropore tape.
- If you wrap your whole gland, do you still use another tape to seal it?

***most importantly***
3) I have to take a break from hanging due to the area (inch below the gland) swollen. I always have the sleeve unrolls an inch below my gland and I noticed that it wasn’t gripping well with even only 3lbs weight.

So my questions are:

a) How far down do you unroll the sleeve? an inch or 2 inches for better gripping?

b) Do you tape an inch below the gland to provide additional support?

Thank you!

When I order vac ADS, I got 3M Microfoam tape. It is thicker, spongy type of tape. I have tried to tape half of my gland with the tape and it feels alright when taking it off. It really depends. You definitely need to take it off slow. There will be residues, but you can easily scrape it off with some spit or soap whatever you have handy.

There are two things I am going to try:

1) wrap an inch below the gland to provide additional support.

2) wrap the head to reduce air space in the cap (and prevent gland slipping down too much when weight is applied)

kubchaser, although I have taken an extended break from hanging, this is how I taped up, with 3M micropore tape…

This might be tricky to explain. Instructions are given from what will be your point of view, looking down.

The first length of tape starts an inch below the glan, going directly up and over the entire head and ending an inch below the back of the glan. Because the tape is a flat surface and the glan more of a dome shape, you will have a small area around the pee hole where the tape didn’t adhere, overhang if you will. Pinch the tape together on itself.

Then do exactly the same as the above, start an inch below the glan, but apply from left to right, criss-crossing over.

Then you should spiral wrap, akin to applying therraband, from as far down your shaft as you wish to start to just under the rim of your glan. I would begin about an inch and a half from the glan.

Following this, apply a length around the rim of the glan, so half the tape will stick to the shaft spiraled tape, and the other to the glan itself. Remember to pinch the tape together where you can’t get it to naturally adhere.

Now apply a very small strip, about two inches in length, over the area on your glan which isn’t yet covered by tape. It will be from left to right, nonetheless, you will know in which direction and where to apply this when you reach this stage.

And finally, mimic what you did with the first and second strips, except this time go diagonally across the glan, so from Southeast to Northwest, and then Southwest to Northeast.

And that’s it. Slap the hanger on and go.

Fu$k me that took ages to type out. Its taxing to explain, I’m sorry that is the best I could do. If anyone can simplify what I have outlined and make it more intelligible, please chime in and amend my effort.

And to answer your question about how far to unroll the sleeve: Cover the tape. You may want to go further down, if so, do it. I don’t think it really made much of a difference to quality of tension, however having it further down seemed to reduce the impact of skin irritation, but I couldn’t swear to that.

Bollock$! I must have misread your post as you don’t use a vacuhanger. The aforesaid is probably worthless to you. I’m posting anyway…

I would to ask you guys some q’s as I’m new to vac hanging.

1. What is the size of the cap you find it best ? Also in reference to your erect/flacid girth.

2. If I don’t have a valve to suck the air out, could it be a problem if my glans don’t touch the wall of the cap and move a little backward allowing space between the edge of the glans and the end of the cap ?

Has anyone tried the anti fluid cone from autoextender? I ordered mines awhile ago and it should be coming in soon like tuesday or wednesday. I tried using the antifluid tape it comes with but I still get blisters.

Has anyone tried the TLC-X tugger for hanging. I tried hanging 7.5 lbs of 1 plus hours at a time. No pain at all just fatigue. I over did it once and after taking it off I passed out. I dialed back the weight to 5 lbs for 1-2 hours/session. I’m up to 3 hours a day right now with 5 lbs. No circulation problems no pain just fatigue is what makes me take it off. I’ve only been doing it for 2 weeks so I don’t have any data yet. Started at 5.25 inches. Will see where it goes. I tried the bib hanger for a while but I just couldn’t deal with the constant pain and pinching of the skin. I plan on adding about 1.25 lbs a month. The pulling is focused on the shaft exclusively, not on the skin. It is working great for me and I’m hopping to see some gains soon.
