"Donut" Prevention - Another Wrap Suggestion

a529612,

Yes, keep the tape on as long as you need to prevent the fluid buildup, especially if you’re using higher vacuum pressure.

I love this thread, it is old but forever refreshed as we learn. Here are a few new ideas I’ve come across. We all know to pump blood not lymph. The best way to do this is by staying hard in the tube. I’ve noticed if I try to pump in a hurry, without proper warm up, and without keeping stimulated I’m more prone to the donut effect. The worse thing is to attach the tube and run around the house multi tasking. I know this is convenient and sometimes a must. However, I find that if I pump slowly while watching porn, keeping the heating pad on the tube and even a vibrator milking the tube in and out, (f***ing the tube) I believe it is called, I can get by with some pretty aggressive sessions with little fluid build up. I know this is nothing new, I believe I’ve heard Avocet or Peroreal mention this before, but it really does help.

Also, try this. After an aggressive session, once out of the tube and after a firm jelq or massage, slip a golf weight over the area just underneath the glands. You will have to use lube to get it on, but once on it will stay. Take a hot shower with the golf weight on, soaping up to remove the lube, but leave the weight on for at least an hour, I leave it all day. This really seems to disperse any fluid that has built up all along the shaft rather than allowing it to bunch up in that one sensitive area, thus preventing the donut, and also smoothing out the fluid along the shaft giving a nice plump post workout girth. The only downside is getting it off, again in the shower with soap.

Also, I alternate every other day between a 2” tube and a 3” penis and scrotum cylinder. When pumping in the scrotum cylinder I wear one of the golf weights during the pump. I find that I can pump at extreme pressures for multi 15 minute sets without any donut. This would probably work as well in a smaller penis cylinder, but the golf weight won’t fit in the 2”. Possibly a 2-1/2, if your girth is under 6” For me it only works in the big three inch tube.

Works for me. Warning. I’m not suggesting anyone pump at extreme pressures, especially newbies.

peforeal,

Just wanted to thank you for this contribution.

I have been pumping for about 5-6 weeks now following the pumping 101 guidelines but was struggling with getting a “donut” effect even though I was never going over 5 hg or 10 minute durations.

I remembered seeing mention of this method, did a search, found this thread, read it, applied it and BINGO, the “donut” is taken care of.

It was a bit difficult the first couple of times, trying to stay erect, apply the bandage, get in the tube but once I got it down to a “science” it worked like a charm.

Just kudos again to you and the other guys like you (avocet8, gprent101, 789, CaptnHook, and many others, and of course Thunder).

This is the second pumping problem I have had solved by this great site (first one was hair stubble causing spots which avocet8 diagnosed and remedied quickly after I posted my problem).

Can’t say thanks enough for all that you guys give and contribute!

Toolguy,

Glad we could all help. The support here is one of the greatest things about this forum.

I used to pump but found it was just temporary girth gains. Make my member all red and super swollen so I got scared and chucked the pump in the trash. Just my story though.

Read the Pumping 101 thread, follow the advice in there and in this forum and you can get results that are effective and will not tear your package up.

A good combination of jelqing, stretching and pumping is a great way to make gains.

Vacuum Pumping 101

peforeal,

I am having trouble with a cool glans that is white in color after removing the bandage about 30 minutes after my session.

I have experimented with removing the bandage between sessions and seem to get some donut effects from doing this, so I have been trying to leave the bandage on full time from start to 30 minutes after finishing my session (which is 3 x 10 minutes).

Do you have any suggestions for me. Am I wrapping too tight? Just not sure on this one.

Thanks in advance.

irishpride,

It sounds like you might have been pumping at too high pressure for too long a time, especially as a pumper newbie. Also, if you’re not using a good quality pump/gauge and tubes, pumping results can be less than satisfying.

Pumping initially does only give you temporary gains. It is a technique, which like all others, has to be used responsibly for a long period of time to produce lasting permanent results. Maybe one day, you’ll try again, but be sure to have good equipment and a sound program.

toolguy,

First of all, if you’re getting cool glans I’d suggest adding in at least 20-30 wet or dryjelqing strokes every now and then to reinitiate good blood circulation without the wrap. This will help your cool glans problem.

You can also experiment with a looser wrap, although too loose and the donut inhibition won’t happen.

It’s also okay to remove the bandage between sessions or after and then reapply/rewrap to the areas where you may see the fluid buildup. It’s all about controlling the donuting situation, so that you can maintain a pleasing symmetric but plumped look to your dick.

Best,
Peforeal

I’ve been getting the dreaded donut effect recently, been removing my wrap right after pumping. Now I’ll keep it on for a half hour. However, unless the donut is a bad thing, cock-wise, I really enjoy the uncirmcized look it gives me.

Just tried this method and it truely does prevent donuts! Only complaint is that is seems to reduce the gains made, so it didn’t have the huge effect I usually get after pumping. Did anyone else experience this? I did leave it on 20 minutes after finishing, this probably reduces the size.. im going to experiment somemore with this. anyone got any other methods for donut prevention or more pearls of wisdom on this wrapping method?

thanks, BB

Hmm not a bad idea, i will have to try this idea sometime this week

Hi guys,

This thread was on “donut prevention”, but here’s a suggestion on “donut removal” if you happen to get one.

Sometimes, when I have lots of additional time on my hands, I’ll do an elongated pumping session for 1-2 hours with breaks. I can get ridiculously thick when I do this for fun. If I’m lazy, I won’t wrap with the ACE wrap but will allow fluid buildup to happen resulting in the “donut” effect.

To counteract the “donut”, all I do is take a 3-inch strip of duct tape, slide/fold my upper shaft skin/donut area over my glans, place the tape on one side of my now skin covered glans and over to the other side. What this does is basically tape the “donut” area tightly around the glans but under my shaft skin, forcing gentle fluid redistribution back into the rest of my cock and the elimination of the pronounced “donut”.

I usually hang much thicker and fuller once I remove the tape (afte 30 minutes) for the rest of the day and into the next day. Great flaccid result, thicker all around shaft and no “donut”.

Fantastic peforeal! The tape method works a charm, thank you very much

BB

BB,

Great. The methods works great for me, and I no longer worry about getting a donut since I can eliminate it rather quickly.
