base packing, discoloration

Sigh! I’ve been using a 6” circumference tube and I thought I had too much room in there because I wanted to try and straighten out my curve and I also thought if I packed my base a bit, I’d get more expansion in the end shaft area as a result.

So I bought a tube that’s 5.25 circumference and gave it a try, I packed the base like I expected and it seemed all good until I came out of the tube and noticed I’m a lot darker than usual. Has anyone else experiences dark discoloration from packing the base of your tube? Is it cutting off circulation or something? dam that sux, I gotta go back to using the 6” which has a color glossing so I can’t hardly see inside the tube while I pump.

Getting a 5.5” circumference (1.75 diam?) tube is also an option, but I’m actually afraid I’ll get discoloration from that too. PS: I’m 5.1” girth at base, tapering off a lot towards the end.

At what vacuum pressure? :)

I was really trying to keep the pressure low, I don’t have a gage so I can’t say for sure though.

I go into the tube errect, and add two small pumps, which isn’t enough to keep my dick fully elongated. In any case, I was using less vaccume in the smaller tube but still getting far more discoloration.

Everyone is different when it comes to pressure and discoloration. You desperately need a gauge. :)

Instead of investing in a cylinder here and a cylinder there, why not buy a good system with clear thick walled cylinders and a pump with a gauge so you know exactly what you are doing. It really is worth it to go professional.
