Pumping decision???

Hey,

Girth has been a real sticking point for me over the past year or so, and I really need to shake things up in this department.

My routine has basically consisted of clamping and dry jelqing, with about 4-5 x 30minute sessions over the past year.I’ve gained no length (Wasn’t really aiming for this anyway) and am at 7.3 Bp and 7nbp.

Girth gains have been minimal going from 4.8 midshaft to 5.125 in a year.Base girth is roughy 5.5-5.625.

I’m now willing to give pumping a go, and hopefully one or two of you pump vets can help me out on this.

My first question is this:

If I buy a pump, and say get my midshaft girth up to 5.5 or bigger, can I then maintain that by jelqing or clamping, or is pumping like a lifetime commitment to retaining that size?The reason I ask is that I intend to travel the world for a year or so, and don’t want to be bringing a pump along with me!!

Secondly, I’m thinking of getting the pump from ladist, and the tube from pumptoys, that some member provided a lot of pictures of.It has a kind of white seal at the bottom.Looks nice and comfortable.

Do you think that this is a good option, and what size cylinder would I need, considering that my base is much bigger than my midshaft??

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I found that girth gains, once cemented, are difficult to lose. Lenght is a bit more variable and requires some form of moderate and continued maintainence program that does not need to include pumping.

Pumping is like anything else, once you cement in your gains, well that’s it. The secret to cementing as you go with pumping is to pump in control and that means keeping the pressure low, or at no more than 5”hg. At this pressure, you stay just below the trauma level and get maximum benefit. You will start off with just one 10 minute set and as you gain experience, add more sets with jelqing in between. But we are getting into too much detail.

Sure, buy that brass pump with gauge from lapdist and get the cylinder from pump toys. I have always liked the look of that cylinder with the white seal ring.

The perfect cylinder for you is a 9” X 2”. It will fit your base girth nicely and allow for full shaft expansion up to 6.5”!

Lengthening the penis takes time and if you try to rush the results by pumping at high vacuum pressures you will damage your penis and have to stop pumping so your penis can heal.

For lengthening the penis

Just start at about 3 HG for long durations. 10 - 20 minutes but start at about 5 minutes and build up the minutes as you go but do not ever pump for longer than 20 minutes before releasing the vacuum. But the longer you pump before releasing the vacuum the lower the vacuum pressure needs to be.

Just curious about two things..

What connector will I need to match up the ladist pump, with the pumptoys cylinder??

And secondly, when the la pump site says “not designed for wet use, what does this mean?? (It’s the deluxe pump, with the psi gauge that i’m looking at)

Once again, thanks to all for the advice.

As far as I know, all these connectors are identical. Alternatively, you can write both companies and ask them about that.

The lapdist pump and pumptoys cylinder use the same connector as does most of the pump industry. Just plug it in.

Wet pumping is when you fill the cylinder with water and well, pump wet. That also means your vacuum pump will draw in water and get wet internally. All pumps with gauges cannot get wet internally or that is the end of the gauge. So don’t use your new system under water. :)

Although some guys swear by wet pumping, the vast majority use plain ole dry air pumping and you will be happy with that as well.

Don’t forget to use lubrication though. Lube is necessary for sealing and complete expansion in the tube. I like water based lubes like KY, or the generic cheaper brands from Target or Wal Mart. Just include a little water on the side to keep the water based lubes really slick as they tend to dry out.

What’s this about the lube drying out?
I’m thinking of trying pumping soon, but once you put your penis in the cylinder, can you take it out and re-lube it, then put your dick back in again?

Or do you just lube up 1st time, may be add a bit of water with the lube on your penis to keep it ‘wet’ and put your penis into the Cylinder and pump for a whole 10/20 minutes? - After than, you take your penis out for the first time, which concludes the end of the session?

You are correct about lubing up the first time. First put on the water based lube and then add a little water to make it really slick and put your penis in the cylinder.

The drying comes into play when you start doing multiple pump sets with jelqing or massaging in between pump sets. Then you will have to add a little water for the jelq and a little bit before you re-enter the cylinder. You can also wet up the inside surface of the cylinder a bit for re-entry. Usually with the water based lubes, only one application of lube per session is necessary and after that, the water will be enough to keep it slick for the remainder of your routine.

It dries out because water based lubes evaporate under a vacuum.

You have to know about evaporation points of water to know this. The evaporation of water is based on pressure. The lower the pressure is the lower the evaporation point will be. At sea level the boiling point of water is at 212 degrees F, but when you lower the pressure on the water you also lower the boiling point of the water.

If you take a jar with water in it and start pulling out the air and creating a vacuum on the water you will notice that the water will start boiling.

Even though temperature has nothing to do with the effect, thankfully, water will not boil at the pressures we are using.
