Dunno why, but I felt the need to update this thread because I have been writing something like this in quite a few threads lately:

I had to stop pumping for privacy reasons in early May. I have gotten some length gains since then but no measureable girth gains. (what I gained in those two pumping months is still there though)
As you can imagine, I will be very happy to resume pumping when I get some more privacy back.
My number one concern is that I do not want to hurt my penis with PE.
So I did a lot of research and pumping seemed like about the safest method for gaining girth. It is a pretty gentle exercise as long as you follow the guidelines you read over in the pumpers forum.
Of course what worked for me may not work for you.
SO — so far I can report:
—- I got some girth gains from pumping, and they have not gone away even though I have stopped pumping consistently. I am up to almost 5.5 base, and almost 5” midshaft.
—- my basic shape has not changed, but the girth is propotionately larger. AND I AM OK WITH THAT!
—- I have gained girth both in CC and CS. Before my girth was mostly because of CS developement. Of course the gains have preserved those proportions, but it is good to see a little more width.
—- I never came close to packing my 1.75” cylinder, just the bottom 1/3. I had only just worked up to 3 ten minute sessions before I had to quit. If I had continued at that I am pretty sure I would have begun to pack more of the cylinder. I am pretty sure that if I was packing, I would get some of the even-ing out that I was wanting.
Basically this is just another testimonial that pumping is an excellent exercise and very safe exercise for girth.
I am pretty much all manual now, but I am getting in a single 10 minute session here and there. Enjoying my current routine and doing pretty well with it, but also looking forward to the day when I can resume pumping consistently.
I also wanted to say that your initial words here resonate with me about every day:

Couple of months, a year- what difference does it make? You planning on getting rid of your unit soon?

I can’t count the times I have quoted you guys in response to a freshly minted newbie!
