Head And Base Touching Walls

I am using a 1.75" tapered cylinder at the moment, but having quite large glands, I find they are the first thing to pack the tube along with my base, but then the shaft in-between doesn’t, at least not until much later on say 20-30min into a pump session. Do you think my head packing against the walls is hindering the expansion in the shaft? Should I maybe go up a cylinder size?

I am joining the topic in terms of glands size. I am a little bit curved into left and recently noticed, that my glands is touching left side of the cylinder. I am almost bigger than the cylinder in glands size, so ordered a bigger one but would love to hear some more about this.

Hi Ben,

you could consider trying a 2-inch diameter cylinder and see how it works for you!

As long as it isn’t painful, there’s no problem.

If you have a close-fitting tube, pumping will tend to straighten a curve. In a larger tube, the curve may be increased, particularly in the case of an upward curve, since the top of the shaft doesn’t stretch as easily as the bottom.

The tapered cylinder is a major issue if your glans are larger than your mid shaft. When inflated and packing the cylinder you are preventing the vacuum from effecting the shaft.

Thanks guys for the advice. I do have a larger cylinder on hand but it is also tapered and it wouldn’t surprise me if my glands hit the side wall of that one too. I’ll give it a try and see whether there’s any free space around the glands after say 10min or so under vacuum

If you can’t find a solution that also involves the shaft of the penis in your training, it might be time to switch tools to focus on girth.

Based on your stats I would say it’s time to move up to the 2in. I’m about 4 3/4 mid girth with a 5in glans. I find if I use plenty of lube (cocoa butter) I can eventually fully pack the tube. I also occasionally switch to a 2in tube on my 3rd set.

I gave the 2" cylinder a go this morning and it maintained a gap around my head and my whole shaft basically. So might continue to use that instead. Although it’s a bit less comfortable pushing against my pubic bone and my scotal skin. The smaller tube was definitely a bit kinder on that front.

I jumped back into the 1.75" after I had used the 2" and I was packing out the tube about 70%. There was an area of my shaft that struggles to pack the tube out, think it might be down to my upward curve but not 100% sure.

I would upsize a cylinder by 0.1" or so
