Packing Tube and Donut question

How does packing the tube affect the development of a donut? Part of me as I am pumping is concerned with developing a donut and the other part is concerned more with growth, which as I understand packing the tube is an important aspect to. So I am wondering if I should be trying to prevent a donut at this early a stage or if I should just let things take their course and go to pack the tube.

Also for donut prevention I have been using sports tape as opposed to duct tape and I go around the circum’ scar 1 time. Should I be taping a wider area? (The tape is 1 1/2 inches wide). So yea simply put I am concerned to a degree donut prevention may slow growth (also I wasn’t quite clear on if the tape should be wrapped fulled around the penis I presumed as much be given that tape doesnt stretch unlike a ace bandage this seems a bit hazardous).

There is nothing magical about packing that leads to faster growth or anything. I suppose it is a visual turn on, but it is not any more beneficial than pumping without packing. In fact, once you pack, then you have to be very careful not to develop head blisters, as all of the vacuum pressure is now focused on the head.

For me, the best way to avoid donuts is use lower pressure and pump for longer times to achieve the desired donut free expansion. Although I used to pump at much higher pressures, my favorite and most successful pressure is 3 to 3.5”hg with an absolute max of 4”hg and pump for 30 minutes at a time.

Thnx gprent

Yea I so far I stay low and the expansion I get is nice and I haven’t gone above 4hg. I don’t really any build up yet just a bit of puffiness around the circumcision line and the last thing I want is my foreskin back (although if someone said hey if you want a 9 incher you will need foreskin I would take the offer in a second).

Gprent, so you don’t wrap when you pump?
If so I may give up taping for a week and see how it goes (since the tape is a pain in the ass and it feels like alot of pressure when in the tube since the tape doesnt expand).

I have never taped. When I did use to get donuts form higher pressure pumping, they just disappear after a few hours once the excess lymph fluid it reabsorbed into your body.

Just because you get a donut doesn’t mean you are going to grow back you foreskin. Trying to restore a foreskin is a difficult process that you have to try hard to accomplish.

I have been pumping for a few months now. I am a cut guy who now has extra skin that is starting to cover my head. I have been searching the forums for posts of guys who have seen foreskin growth from pumping. Would like to hear if any more guys have noticed this.

Mine only covers my glans when it turtles.
