Advise on decent first pump to buy?

You do not need any kind of special seal. These professional quality cylinders will seal just as is. Shaving around the base of your cock is recommended.

I prefer a water based lube because clean up is so much easier.

No you don’t need to buy anything else. The lube on your cylinder will "seal" to the lube on your penis.

Baby oil and petroleum lubes will damage your cylinder.

On edit: ha ha I see gprent and I were writing at the same time.

I use KY Jelly to lube about an inch, inch and a half of the entrance of the cylinder. I use astroglide to lube my entire penis. You can use KY on your penis too, and of course generics work fine!

I dip the lubed entrance of the tube in a glass of warm water. The water "activates" the KY lube so that it bonds to the lube at the base of your cock. Perfect seal every time.

Petit faun and Lampwick taught me how to do that, their explanations may be clearer:

Newbie can’t get a perfect seal — is continually pumping the pump ok?

Sounds good to me, thanks a lot guys. I’m pretty excited!

Just one more thing. Based on your size, I highly recommend you get a 1.75” cylinder. If you buy a 1.5 you will regret it.

Yeah after remeasuring that became clear.

Thanks again!

Guys,

Most of the suppliers you have listed do not deliver to Brazil, so I was wondering about start with a simple pump from Aliexpress. I know they might have very bad quality items, but I have seen some that might work (they are 1/10 of the local cost. :)

What do you think?

I read some of the feed backs and it seems ok.

If they have very bad quality items it’s likely the cylinder won’t be worth investing. Are you sure penisdepot, bostonpump, vacutech and leluv don’t ship to Brazil?

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I’m in 2 minds about going for my first pump, whether I should opt for a water based or air based.

For a while I’ve been thinking to get the bathmate hercules but have recently been reading about the thickwall and think that might be more use to me as I never take baths and only spend 10 mins in shower before work.

If I go with the thickwall, is the starter kit which includes the cylinder and pump a decent option?

For your first pump always go for an air pump and make sure it is one with a gauge. You want to be able to start off nice and easy and know exactly what pressure you are using so you can avoid unnecessary injuries in the form of red spots or discoloration.

Thanks for the advice, do you know if the thickwall starter kit pump has a gauge? I can’t see too much info on the pump itself only the cylinder.

Here is the link for the Thickwall starter kit showing the pump with the gauge:

Make sure you use our table to select your cylinder diameter: Selecting Your Cylinder Size

Have a look Thickwall cylinder + pump from amazon

The thickwall cylinder is excellent, but you could buy a solid metal pump and a hose somewhere else.

Thanks guys, think I will just go for the starter kit as I’ll probably end up buying the wrong things otherwise. Hopefully the pump is decent.

In my thread you have all the links needed, a brake bleeder kit (water trap included) and a flexible silicone hose.

You buy the male connector from thickwall.

Otherwise you can go with the starter kit (I think their pump is in plastic).

But he lives in London. High shipping costs and possible customs hassles.
