Cylinder_length=BPEL -> for girth

I read much about the width of the cylinder. Not much about the length.
I want to pump only for girth.

Would a cylinder that restricts expansion in length result in no length increase and focus the vacuum solely on the girth?
It might also help with glans edema/blisters..
I Would say not longer then the BPEL.

I mean my logic is that no room to expand in length = no gain in length and more focus on girth…
Basicly the opposite to using a narrow cylinder for length.

I wouldn’t want my glans to be stuck and push against the end of the cylinder.

What would happen?

I thought now that maybe a constriction of the glans through a silicone sleeve would prevent length/vertical expansion.

It will hurt like hell when your cockhead is jammed up next to the male connector at the top of your cylinder.

Honestly pumping is a girth exercise. I don’t think you need to worry too much about gaining a lot of length from pumping.

My length gains came from stretching. My girth gains came from pumping.

Alright!

Would you recommend a cylinder that is as wide as your goal girth?

What was described in a-unit thread was a definitive way to force pumping to focus on length. Maybe most of us gain girth because our tubes tend to be too wide.

Yeah more or less.

But I’d really recommend you follow gprent’s recs on cylinder selection:

Selecting Your Cylinder Size

He pretty much nails it there.

Right that was my thought.

I read in dedicated pumper forums(newart) about people packing the tube to gain real girth. Saying something like inner tissue will thus expand.
Didnt make sense to me. Then I saw that most of them pump in a way to promote the edema bloated look.(like a fetish kind of thing)
So they counter it with packing the tube.
But avoiding the bloated look/edema in first place wouldnt requiere them to pack the tube to avoid edema.
Avoiding it means less pressure/time I suppose(+heat etc.). But I guess they dont like that as pumping for hours for fun/kick is the prime objective.

I postulate that,
using a cylinder that is wide enough to accomodate as much expansion as possible is the way to gain girth, if one ensures to not create edema by tweaking the time/intensity.

thoughts?

Yes, saw that thread, thanks. I dont want to invent the sun again.
Just curious,
It says, I should use the 2.00 cylinder.
What would be the trade off, to select a bigger cylinder, which would equate my goal base girth of 6.3( = 2.25 or even 2.5)?

To me it appears that the difficulty of people to determine if they are already in edema territory leads to the information that they should use a narrower cylinder..(?)

Also, I guess my aim for a tapered penis and no lenght gains would mean that a conical/tapered cylinder ,narrowing towards the head, will help with that. (?)

If the cylinder is too big, you are going to find it near impossible to get a seal in my humble opinion.

Ignore the advice of newart people. They aren’t role models for permanent gains.

Rather follow the advice of the big gainer vets here, like gprent, avocet8, Sparkyx, etc.

Just buy a simple 2 inches wide cylinder, you’ll gain girth if you’re consistent and maximize expansion without creating edema.

I like gprent’s and and sparkyx’ advice. The first one says 30 mn of pumping should be what you aim for (3-5 hg should be enough, although some cycle to higher hg once they’re conditioned). The second one believes you should use the max pressure which allows you to keep a great EQ, and avoid too much edema.

You may gain a bit of length along the way, but as ska tool said pumping is mainly a girth exercise (although Irishjim said he gained length).

Even those who pack the tube and exit the tube with loads of edema are very conditioned.

I don’t know about tapered cylinder, I suggest you search the forum to see if there is any relevant info on their usefulness. I wonder if the fact you’ll pack around thetop of the shaft pretty quick (depending on your stats) will work more on your length than a regular one (same principle as narrower cylinders to work on length).

Yeah makes sense regarding experiences in the forum.
Thanks, I guess I will start this way and check where it leads me.

I guess the top then shouldnt be so narrow that it is sealing/packing the tube there.
I might preventing the top expanding too much with a silicone sleeve there.

Nor using a too narrow cylinder neither a too short will do anything to give more gains in a dimension or another. If you push against the head when the penis is inflated, you are putting a lot of stress on the urethra, without expainding by a tiny bit more girth-wise. In the same way, a too narrow cylinder hoping to gain length wil just squeeze your penis without stretching the penis more length-wise.

I have experience with the cock burrowing slowly up a packed tube producing a great internal stretch like hanging or an extenders.
