Increasing Cylinder Size

I’m thinking of ditching the bathmate and going with a leluv cylinder and gauge pump, starting win a cylinder I can pack hopefully fairly quickly then move up as needed. I was just wondering how many of you have had to increase your cylinder size at least once due to gains over time. Also the time it took and the routine followed would be beneficial.

There is room for both. Keep the bathmate to get some more pumping while in the shower but do your more controlled pumping with one with a gauge like the leluv. I had to move up fairly soon from a 1.75” to a 2” le luv cylinder. I have since moved on to a Mr Fantastic dynamic water pump with a 54 mm (2.125”) cylinder which I pack. Good idea to have a range of cylinders.

I started four years ago with a 1.5” cylinder which took about a year to pack. I then ordered a 1.5” eliptical from LAPump which I replaced with a 1.75” round cylinder about nine months later. Twelve months after that I ordered a 2” cylinder. Currently I am using the 1.75” first which I pack 3/4 of the way up after ten minutes and then switch to the 2” cylinder which I pack 2” up from the base after ten minutes.

I’m still using the 11x2.25 I bought around seven years ago. I do pack the cylinder and keep a watchful eye once I do.

I have 2” and 2.25” round cylinders. I pack the 2” in about 10-20 minutes, so I just leave that one for pumping in the shower. I just start w/ the 2.25” when pumping other times.

I was hoping to hear from a bunch of PE’ers that you’ve had to increase your cylinder size every 3 to 6 months due to girth gains. Makes me wonder if girth gains are happening for pumpers or maybe just a lot of pumpers aren’t seeing or responding to this thread.

There is a huge girth jump from one tube to another.

A quarter inch of diameter translates to .785 inches. If you figure out a way to consistently jump 3/4” every 3-6 months you should be selling your technique.

3/4” of girth gains is enormous, especially considering how much volume increase that represents.
