I want to begin pumping...in a month or so...where/how do i begin?

Hello all, hope you are doing good in these crazy times we are in. I have been doing Manuel girth routines for the past 7 months since I took a break from clamping. Its been working great, I have gained a little, but it is not even. I am currently in the process of moving and I have not done a proper week of PE for about a month or two, its all been shoty and inconsistent and I basically have had no time to do PE for a week straight since this move has started(which has been a damn nightmare by the way). After I get settled with this move and I am at the new place, within the next week or so, I am going to start back on my PE routine. in the last few weeks of doing my routine, I was getting really good expansion and my mid shaft girth was getting to 6”! it took about 2-3 months of consistent training to get to that point, but as I explained, I have not done another consistent month of training for the past month or two. Once I begin doing my PE routine again I want to do it for at least a month or two, just to see if I can cement that expansion and also to get my unit used to things again before starting anything new. I want to get into pumping. I have actually wanted to pump for a long time, but I either had to put the money to more important things, or it was not worth it at the time, because I would of been caught by family while attempting to stealth PE(been doing stealth PE for almost 10 years now). Now I have my own privacy and I have enough extra money to buy a quality pump.

I know reading the ‘pumping 101’ thread is a must and I have actually read through it a few times. I have to ask some questions though.

Where and how should I start, as far as getting into pumping?
I have read that pumping will help with gains if combined with other forms of PE, especially manual exercises. The girth routine I do now is pretty intense, and I am very conditioned to it. When I begin pumping, How should I work my PE Manuel routine in with it? should I cut back on the intensity of the Manuel routine? or should I keep it the same?
Should I pump before or after doing the Manuel stuff?
Should you pump in sets or just do it in one go for a certain amount of time?
Should you pump for than once a day? some people have said they do it multiple times a day.
How many days a week or how often would you recommend I do it a week?
Would pumps do you guys recommend? I am currently looking into ‘LApumps’.
How do I size the thing? I am worried about buying the wrong size tube, obviously getting one to small is a major issue, but I also read from others that getting one to big can be a issue as well.
lastly, possibly the most important question…how do you pump(lol) how does the pressure work? how do you actually apply the pump, etc.?

The way I looked at doing it was, I would pump 4-5 days a week, only incorporating my Manuel stuff in with the pump every other day, then just having two days where I only pump and possibly jelq. I have always gained better when doing PE for consecutive days in a row opposed to taking off a few days for rest. No offense to bathmate users I just don’t care for them. Not to mention I would most likely have to use it in the shower every time which would be a little bit of a hassle.

I’ve used a few different types of pumps and settled on my current, tossing the others. I’ve used pumps without gauges, Bathmate, and ended up with a pump with a gauge. Do not go with a pump without a gauge, you can and most likely will injure yourself. So don’t get a Bathmate either.

I’ve settled with Le Luv from Amazon. Cheap enough and seems to be good quality thick polycarbonate plastic. The kit with a gauge costs about $80, and depending on your goals another tube costs about $40 for buying another size. They come in 0.25” increments.

I’d also highly recommend you stay well under 10 inHg when pumping. I’ve found I do not injure myself around 5 inHg even when packing the tube.

Hope this helps.

I agree with buying your LeLuv pump with gauge from Amazon. Determine your cylinder size here:

Thanks for your tips/suggestions they did help a lot. I think I will go with that pump, looks basic and simple enough and straight to the point, and is well within my budget and my liking.

My apologies for posting in this thread, I just thought it was appropriate since it’s about the Leluv. I’ve been using the bathmate on and off for about 6 months. The one thing I love about it, is the girth it gives me right out of the tube. Am I correct in assuming that the Leluv does the same thing? Also. What is the duration of time that you can use it? I usually go 30 min. In the bathmate.

Once again, my deepest apologies if I should have started a new thread and thanks for any feedback.
