New To Pumping - Query Re Seal Sizing

Hi all. I recently bought a cheap basic pump without a gauge for approx US$33.

I have used it twice so far.

My concern is that the largest of the three seals that it came with feels too tight on my base to a point where once I’m done with a 10 minute session, I have to literally yank my unit out of the tube.

Is this normal, or should I rather cut up one of the smaller seals to make a larger opening and see if that makes a difference?

Currently it feels like the seal is restricting blood flow to the penis once in the vacuum.

Thanks in advance.

Whatever it takes to ensure blood flood is not being restricted.

Thank you. I will try this. I noted that I am feeling slight pain in my fat pad before getting any real sensation on my penis. Hopefully resizing the seal will help.

If the pump is cheap and you are having trouble with blood flow you may need something more expensive that you can actually select the size more appropriately. There are professional grade pumps that are a little more expensive but much easier to fit.

Yup for a while I was pumping in a 2x7 tube. Great for my ego but way too tight against my base and I could pack it in 1 15min session. I ended up finding a 2.5 tube with a wide flare and pair it with a silicone seal made by ox balls called the juicy. I had the xl version but ruined it by forcing a vinyl tube between the jar and the seal piercing it. I can’t justify spending $130 on a piece of silicone from pump toys so once I mod my jar with am stj valve ill try it again because it was comfy as helllll.

Part of it is also conditioning. When I first bought my cock ring I couldn’t keep it on for longer than an hour without the skin getting irritated. Now I wear it so much that I need to get another one because I wear it to the gym and all the laundering is taking its toll. I think the same conditioning applies to pumping. You gotta find the sweet spot where you get a good pump without pain.

Also try using it without a seal, it might actually work just try not to wreck your nuts
