Cheap Simple Easy Pump

I’m just getting into pumping and despite how many plans there are on here for DIY pumps, I feel like I’ve figured out a system that I really love and which I’d like to share.

The main element one has to buy is a brake bleed kit, which you can get for between $10-20 on ebay. This hand pump has a gauge, some tubing and if you can get one like mine, it has a black rubber nipple looking attachment for the tubing. This piece is the key to my setup (circled in red in pic below). I’ll explain below.
For a tube, I started out with a rigid-shell water bottle, and drilled a small hole (1/8” maybe) in the bottom. The mouth of the bottle was a good snug fit, and then it flared out into a wider enclosure. Eventually I was thinking I wanted a tube that had a regular dimension from end to end (the mouth of the water bottle was a restriction) and what I arrived at was those glass candle housings (7 day glass candle? if you’d like to google a picture). I went through a couple of failures trying to drill holes in the bottom with regular bits before I sprung for a diamond tipped drill bit at home depot, which was a little pricey but will provide many many tubes if I break or lose this one. Cut/melted the wax out of the glass tube, drilled my hole at the bottom.

So, what you’d do is attach the rubber nipple attachment to your tubing, and using it like a plunger or a suction cup, stick it onto the bottom of your glass tube, insert your member and the suction of the hand pump holds the nipple onto the tube. If you need a quick disconnect or to release some pressure, you can lift the edge rubber nipple off of the glass very easily and swiftly. Only drawback is that you’d have to install a one-way valve somewhere in there if you wanted to be able to leave yourself pumped without keeping the hand pump attached, but this could definitely be easily done.

Anyway, my setup cost me about $20, I can water pump if I attach the plastic cup in-line that came with the bleeder kit, and I can use just about any tube I come across without having to add attachments or valves to it. I’ve just been pumping for about two weeks and already I can tell you that it’s totally changed the game for me. I feel like clamping for years was somehow building up some kind of invisible reservoir of gains that now are making themselves explosively apparent with the addition of the pumping. (Also exercise, nutrition and hydration…)

Good luck y’all!

Just be careful. Commercial tubes aren’t glass for a reason and represents a serious hazard If you aren’t careful.

Yeah… Boom! That’s a scary thought.

It’s not worth the risk. If that cylinder shatters the bleeding would be profuse.

The last thing you should want is glass imploding on your dick. I wouldn’t risk that.

Eh, this glass is about 1/8” thick. You’re all probably right as a rule of thumb, but I think specifically what I’ve found is quite safe. Point taken, however.

As far as this design goes, perhaps it’s safer to advise others to go for the old gravel vacuum tube at the pet supply store, or even a tall plastic drinking…glass.

I am not immune to trying things that are potentially dangerous. I have used a glass pickle jar for ball pumping before. While there’s little chance of it imploding on its own because of the vacuum you or I are using, accidents do happen. I’m no longer willing to risk that type of foreseeable injury.

Best of luck with your route to a bigger tool.
