Vacuum Hanging 2019: thoughtfulgold

Today’s Date for this entry is 6/17/2019 and I am merely entering it because I had no time on the proper date to do so.

Session Notes

1. Using 2.25” Cylinder lightly warmed up and lubed with vaseline pump up to 12HG for 8 minutes.
Note for this setting is it is the highest pressure and duration I can pump and not feel any edema at the end but still feel good temporary expansion. This pressure and duration will likely vary highly between individuals.

2. Notable for this session I forgot to wrap using tender tape.

3. Put on LG Hangar, pressurizing it at 5” HG and checking for good seal by pulling strong but not suddenly.

4. Run paracord through weights and eyebolt underneath wooden tray table, attach to hangar with 15lbs Straight Out for 25 minutes while seated. Felt more tingling in glans than comfortable with. Ceased session early fearing blisters. None showed.

5. Remove hangar. Perform 5-10 minutes of hard stretches by hand.

Session concludes.

Post Session Notes

1. A post session MSEG of 6.375” up to 6.6” is the range I am seeing here.

2. Also note that the main session, while hanging is done in the morning. A second pumping session of 8 minutes occurs at night as well.

3. No worse for wear with not wearing wrap for the session.

2. Wrap using tender tape around shaft to cover frenulum up to corona ridge down to midshaft.

3. Put on LG Hangar, pressurizing it at 7” HG and checking for good seal by pulling strong but not suddenly.

4. Run paracord through weights and eyebolt underneath wooden tray table, attach to hangar with 15lbs Straight Out for 30 minutes while seated.

5. Remove hangar. Perform 5-10 minutes of hard stretches by hand.

Session concludes.

Post Session Notes

1. Notable, if a pump session is missed the night before it can negatively affect the pump session in the morning and results of the hang session, which did not reach 6.5MSEG like usual.

Post Session Notes

1. Ruler is locked in safe for at least 6 weeks. No more sesson measuring.

2. Taking up athletic supplementation for joint health, stamina and healing. May allow more frequent PE sessions than currently. Currently too tender to hang more than 2 days in a row with pumping regiment. This may change.

3. Will do 45 minutes 2 more times before moving to a full hour.

Post Session Notes

1. Please note, I personally do not run the tender tape all the way down. If the tape gets under the very end of the sealing sleeve edge you end up losing the seal of the hanging cylinder. At least I do.

2. Less soreness post session noted.

3. Will do 45 minutes 1 more time before moving to a full hour. Or maybe a full hour next session. Undecided.

I see you’re pushing up at 15lbs now. I’m personally at 13lbs / 1 hr daily as of a few days ago. I’m new, having started using the device about 1 month ago. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to hang without stupid qty’s of glans protection. I use FOUR pieces of wrap for my tender member, each a different material! I’m still dialing in my technique and have a ways to go.

My questions are:
1) I noticed that you’re back to using no glans protection. It looked like, from my observations of your other pictures, the smaller bell you had when you first started was giving you massive “glans gains”. Have you decided yet which version you like better?
2) In the smaller chamber, did the pull “feel” cleaner? Or put a better way, in the new larger chamber, does the pull feel more like it was tugging on foreskin and irritating to that area? … Take your old chamber for a spin now that you’ve got some more experience.

I say this because I’m in the opposite position you were in - I have a bell that I think is too big. My head could never swell to fit this puppy. Consequently, I have to wrap or the head feels like it will explode. I’d love to try a chamber that fit me like your first chamber fit you.

I would have figured the best way to make a successful vac hanger device is to: Get the bell as conformed as possible to the exact dimensions of the penis in the erect state or maybe a tad larger. Then, hang without any wrap protection because you won’t need it (maybe with just a piece of cut band-aid tape over the urethra / air port). This design, I would think, should distribute the load over the greatest surface area structure and thus achieve a most comfortable fit. Also, the foreskin won’t have any place to swell.

This is why I’m surprised that you’ve taken so well to your new larger chamber.

Post Session Notes

1. I flirted with a blister today. It’s a tingly feeling but it comes off and on. I’m guessing I had the glans a bit high in the cap this run. Which is hard to avoid because getting the sealing sleeve to roll around the opening is SUCH a pain cuz the cylinder itself is so wide it takes a Herculean effort to roll the sleeve back far enough to enter the hangar. The diameter of the cylinder and length of the sleeve combine to make it a challenge every time and I don’t usually get an even roll back on the sleeve. I end up with part of it rolled back further and end up with it going onto the shaft somewhat cocked at an angle. It seals fine but the orientation of the hangar on the glans changes each session because I can’t get it the exact same every time.

Easy solution is to secure a piece of sponge in the hanging cylinder, which I will do. Otherwise there is a real obvious blister risk if my glans skin touches the vacuum port inside the device. Run the hangar 45-60 minutes with that opening sucking on a small surface area at an increased vacuum while 15lbs of weight is pulling it away? Blister probably instantly. So covering that port with a piece of sponge won’t impede evacuation of the cylinder and also will prevent glans direct contact with the port. It’s advice Marlon at LG gave me that I’m going to take before my next session.

2. Putting a bit more effort into my post session stretches. Seems productive. Nicer temp hangtime.

3. Will do 60 minutes next session. Signs point to it being a good move. Additionally, right around the 35 minute mark I start to feel the tension in my ligaments. It is not terribly comfortable but I can feel it tugging on the inner penis running this SO angle. So, increasing the time should increase the time the ligaments hit their maximum stretch times. And most of my gaining doesn’t seem to be ligament related so perhaps this could be a quick half inch gain once I get dialed in at 60-90 minute sessions.

Yes. The smaller chamber was uncomfortably tight after my glans had grown. So it is a non-starter for me now, as it literally just doesn’t offer the space I need. And it being so snug and a miracle is the only reason I did not get a hangar port blister before. I won’t be going back to the smaller chamber. Just a poor move for me.

My pull perception is that it grabbed the glans and pulled it, resulting in some shaft tension that translated linearly.

The larger chamber seems to really get the traction around the shaft beneath the glans and the tension there pulls linearly AND outward on the shaft tissues causing mild expansion.

Your use of a “cleaner” pull as a term I don’t understand.

You have a bell that you aren’t comfortable in. Part of the reason i prefer the bell I’m using is because my glans naturally expands a lot and use of this size bell will continue my glans size goals over time. However, everyone isn’t going to be comfortable with this level of pressure on the glans and I can’t recommend anything I do for anyone else because our anatomies will differ.

I am unsure what his sizing vision is. I don’t know how much larger than the glans he designs it to be or optimally it should be. Additionally, it is done from erect measurements while used flaccid and some people have a glans that is smaller flaccid than others proportionally. I don’t think there’s a good ‘best’ way that makes a 1 size fit all solution that is going to be rock solid no matter your customer.

Foreskin swelling hasn’t been an issue for me in either cylinder. So I can’t speak to every user having that issue. Further, what observations I’ve made of users logging time with the LG Hangar…it isn’t a common complaint. More of the perspective of each user and unique anatomies at play again, I would assume. I’m sure, if it is an issue for you that you are well-aware of it and why but I don’t know that LG could accommodate all possible complaints into a perfect design. Kind of makes me throw my hands up because I’m not sure how I could advise you since you’re experiencing issues that I have not.

Perspective, usage and intention are big. You are looking for simplicity and comfort. I had complex reasons why I selected the LG Hangar and also was prepared to accept discomfort if it happened. I mean it’s an approach and expectation difference as well as anatomical and experience difference.

I just don’t know what else to say that can be helpful.

The pieces of protective sponge that are included in your old X4 system (if you still have it) can be cut as inserts into your LG hanger, and work perfectly for what you’re trying to do to cover the vacuum port. That’s all the X4 system was good for with me.

I have been Vac hanging now since about last fall and I am currently up to 14 lbs now.My question is about glans protection.If I tape I can hang with no problems at all and I recently got a glans cap to try out and for the life of me I can not hang with it.Soon as I let the weight down I can feel the cap slipping or pulling away from the tip if the glans and after I remove the dome sure enough the glans cap pulled up about 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the tip of my glans.Someone mentioned here in another thread to poke a little pin hole at the top of the cap to release any trapped air and pressure but this does not seem to work for me.Damn.I really wanted this glans cap to work to save time and not buying tape all the time.Does anyone have any suggestions or tips for me to get this glans cap to work and “stay put”.

Make a small slit.

Thanks.I will try a small slit instead of the pinhole and see if this works better..

What happened to this thread. Haven’t heard anything from thoughtfulgold in some time now.

Is he ok?

If you check someone’s profile it will show when they were last active. TG checked in a couple of days ago but hasn’t posted in a while. Maybe he just doesn’t have much to say at this time. I’m sure he’ll be more active again but do not know when that may be.

Hey thoughtful gold, I need to ask a question, I can’t seem to get a response on here. I ordered the LG hanger on 4-21-20. I haven’t seen any signs of tracking number, I’m starting to get worried. How quick was that whole process for you and did you receive shipping info? Thank you.

I ordered mine for 10 days or so and yesterday I got a message that it was on it’s way. I live i Sweden so I guess it will take some time. So take it easy, your stuff will soon come to you.
