Got my VacuTech pump today Just a few questions though

I finally got my pump and plan to start using it this week.
But I had a question about shaving. I have trimmed my pubic hair before but never shaved it completely off. Do you guys do this with a razor? Can I just trim it with scissors or the beard trimmer on my electric razor (I don’t have a beard so I don’t use that option)? Is it better to shave with an erection? Another thing I was wondering was if lotion was a lube I could use?

Thanks for the help guys.

wantabigpenis,

Unless you want to, you do not have to shave your pubic hair completely off when pumping. You can trim low with scissors or your electric razor. You don’t have to have an erection to shave. You can just stretch out your flaccid dick with one hand and shave with the other. I use vaseline intensive care lotion with some water added as my lube. Be generous with the lube in order to get a good seal. Good pumping to you!

Hello wantabigpenis,

I am pumping with a vacutech pump for one and half month, I did not respect the advice from avocet and I had some bruise, now it is one week I don’t pump waiting my bruise to cure. Start very slowly, don’t go over 4 Hg vacum, start with 1 set of 5-10min maxi.

I do not have shave my penile, but you have to be erect to get a stable vacuum.

Cheers.

Sounds good. In that case, I’m going to start pumping right now.

Well, my first pumping session did not go as planned. I think that I am doing something wrong. When I pump I go up the 3-4 hg but it quickly drops and never stays there. I hold it down tight but for some reason I can’t keep the pressure there. After reading all the posts and the instructions that came with the pump, it seems that the tube is actually supposed to be sucked onto my body and stay there.
The only things I can think of that are wrong is either that the tube is too big (I have a 4.25” girth and 1.75” tube), or it is because I did not shave my pubic hairs completely off.

Anyone have this problem?

1.Check to see that you’re getting a good seal. The base of your tube should be touching your lubed skin to make the best seal.If necessary, you may need to shave that area more.

2. OR check your connector on your cylinder and be sure that it’s tight and you’re not having air seeping out. With a good seal and connectors, you should be able to disconnect the pump and have the pressure stay constant.

More than likely the female coupler is loose. Hand tighten it into the tube. Do no over-tighten as to compress the O-Ring. Steve

I’ve just looked at a few similar threads and can’t find the answer to this. What is the best way to cement gains if pumping is the primary excercise?

Thanks in advice.

Thanks for the help guys. I will be busy tonight but I will have to try again tomorrow. I think it might be the hair issue because I did tighten the top.

Sup guys.
I just tried again right now. I trimmed my pubic hair some more but it still wouldn’t keep the pressure. I trimmed my pubic hair as short as possible without it itching. So it is really short, but not completely shaved off. I guess I’ll have to resort to that because it just ain’t working. For my whole 10 minute session, I kept having to pump it every 5 seconds to keep the pressure at 3-4.
And how do you guys keep an erection while pumping? I kept going soft. Do you guys clean your tubes after every session?

Thanks.

Your tube gains will most likely cement themselves. This will happen faster for you if you also incorporate a few manual exercises into your pumping routine. I got an inch L from only pumping but I got another 1.5 inches nearly, and faster, after I started jelking, stretching, too.

Wanta;

Bite the bullet and shave just a tad beyond the base of your shaft. Even short hairs create tiny tunnels through which air enters the tube. That’ll help. But some of us just have pubic bone shapes that the base of a cylinder can’t create an effective seal against. I have never been able to create a seal that stays and still have to pump every five seconds or so to keep my pressure level.

wantabigpenis,

Perhaps you can shave a wider area of your skin smooth at the base of your dick to allow more direct cylinder/skin contact with lube. To keep an erection while pumping,you could watch or read some porn or think “happy” thoughts or just stimulate your nipples ( if nipple play works for you) to keep your dick up. I always rinse and dry out my tube after.

avocet8: Do you think this dynamic pumping ( Vacuum expressed by time with some kind of sinus curve) might have something to do with your permanent gains? Or is the difference in the vacuum too insignificant?

I don’t understand the question. I think I blanked out at “sinus” which reminded me of the hateful year of trigonometry I had to take in high school. Obviously the course did little to englighten me; how did I ever pass it?

Can you say that in a different way?

Hehe :)
Yeah sure, I just meant it as f(x)=sin(x) is expressed as a graph. In english it just means that when you have to pump to maintain vacuum - there will be small changes in the vacuum, the vacuum is going up and down. Do you think these will give good effect, just as shorter sets with pumping is beneficial for gains/circulation?

So what I mean is that you are performing a micro version of dynamic pumping (more shorter sets instead of long ones with static vacuum), and wondered if you think this might have something to do with your permanent gains, or is this difference in the vacuum insignificant?

thanks
