best options for low maintenance seal (inner tubes etc)

hi,

I’ve read many threads concerning different sleeve / doughnut options (everything from ecoflex to inner tube microwave fires), but was hoping to get the most recent ideas on the subject.

I’d like to be able to apply a low pressure (2-3 HG), put on my track pants, and handle chores around the house, whithout constantly stopping to readjust seal and pump due to lack of vacuum.

I guess what I’m asking is, does anybody have any better suggestions than the inner tube for maximum maintenance free vacuum seal, or is there a better way than forging inner tubes with heat. (ie. is there a good size that comes in the right girth?).

The tubes I’m working with are 1.75” and 2”

Sorry if I haven’t searched hard enough,

I’m not sure of your question. If you are asking what is the best way to seal when pumping, then I would say most of us use a proper fitting tube and trim your pubs.

If you are asking the best seal to keep a vacuum while you wear track pants and walk around the house…well, thats a new one on me, never had success moving around much when pumping. I think its pretty hard to push the tube too far up or down without breaking the seal.

If no one is around, and you can walk around in private, you can just hook up a small rope or cord that will suspend it from your neck and keep it at a 90 degree angle to your body or straight out…this will help prevent the seal from breaking.

I think I did that once when water pumping so I could walk around in the bathroom and shave and all that and still have it attached and not have to hold it with my hands.

If you are trying to be stealth…good luck!

Thanks for the thoughts sparkyx!

I’ve implemented the 45 degree angle / neck / cord suggestion before, but I find it a little awkward and clunky. My rational is not so much stealth, but low maintenance. If one were to be able to pump while multi tasking around the house without having to stop and make adjustments, I feel like I would log substancially more hours.

I’m hoping someone with a lot of inner tube experience will chime in?

I like to multi task too. Unhook the cylinder from the pump and go Wash dishes, etc.

I just follow what Lamp and Petit taught me about getting a good seal. Might be worth giving it a go.

I may need to give it a pump or two now and then, but the seal holds.

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

Got another suggestion, will post it in a little while.

OK here is that suggestion.

I’ve switched over to an electric pump. See this thread:

$15 electric vacuum pump for anyone!

The walmart aquarium pump has a pretty long cord. And I have attached a pretty long section of tubing.

So these days, I connect my lubed and water dipped cylinder to the fish pump. I have set up the pump to 3HG pressure. Pump pulls my penis into the cylinder.

I disconnect the pump from the cylinder. I disconnect the pump from the wall. Then I take myself and my pump to whatever room I want to multitask in. Plug it in, hook myself up and I have rock solid steady 3HG of pressure.

In general I love the electric pump. It really makes pumping easier. Eliminates a lot of steps. Get hard, pump pulls you in, and you are done.

Anyway, just another idea.
