Pumping for Length

Hello,

I have a pumping question:

I have a cylinder that is almost 2” wide. I can pack it sideways all the way up to the glans in about 20 min.

Since my goal is mainly length, can I keep pumping beyond the 20 min.? Is it safe?

Asking because now it seems all the vacuum will be focused on the glans which sounds dangerous.

I am no expert, but you should reset, or take a break before you get to 20 minutes, then, after refreshing you could do another 20 minute set, and so on.

Seems the prevailing opinion is 20 minutes in the tube maximum, at no more than -5 hg and no more than 1 hour total per day in the tube.

When I have stayed within these I have had no problems.

In theory you should rather quickly pack the tube again and get bigger in subsequent sets.

I worked up to the point of hour sets. When you’re packing the cylinder, keep an eye on your vacuum as the glans is being effected the most.

I do rest after 20 min. What I meant is whether or not I should continue with more sets in the same tube or move up to a wider tube.

So are you saying that after I pack the tube sideways in 20 min. and then rest that I can continue doing more sets in the same tube???

Or should I switch to a wider tube at that point, even though my goal is to gain length?

I stayed in the same tube.

The acute danger in my experience from over pumping in a packed tube isn’t to the glans, but to the skin just below it, particularly on the backside that can’t be easily seen that can swell with so much edema that the skin gets stretch marks. This risk is increased by masturbating with the tube and it’s easily avoided by stopping before too much edema develops in the skin under the glans.

It is also possible to pump enough that the urethra is partially closed and you won’t be able to urinate until the swelling decreases some. But this is something I have only experienced from pumping for over 2.5 hours and I could still urinate very slowly.

Over 20 minutes has stalled gains every time I’ve tested it so far, between the range of 5 inHg to 15 inHg.

Can you offer any suggestions as to how I should pump for length?

Should I keep using the same tube even though I completely pack it sideways in 20 minutes?

Or should I pump more sets in a wider tube?

I have gained length from pumping while packing the tube and many recommend it, but I don’t know for sure if that’s necessary or that it makes length gains faster than using a larger diameter tube and not packing it.

I do know using a smaller diameter tube will restrict girth gains, which for me is desirable currently since I gain girth easily.

I know from testing that using a larger diameter tube, which I don’t pack by the end of a 20 minutes session at 5 inHg, the post pump increase in length has been identical to the same amount of time and vacuum in a smaller diameter tube that I pack. I don’t know for certain that using a larger diameter tube will slow length gains.

I have a hypothesis that gaining girth and length using a larger diameter tube for several months, then switching to a smaller diameter tube will cause girth to convert to length and accelerate length gains for a period of time, but I haven’t done enough testing to say that it does confidently.

So for whether or not you should use a wider diameter tube, I’m not sure.

I have noticed from lots of experimentation that more than 20 minutes of pumping every other day has been counter productive for me. If I pump for 1 hour every other day, or every day, at 5 inHg, the length gains stop entirely for some reason.

I’ve gotten gradual consistent length gains from doing 20 minutes 5 inHg in a tube which I pack by the end of the session and using an all day hanger with .5 lb. as much as is comfortable which is often many hours a day.

I’m not certain that this is the absolute best protocol and am still experimenting to find the best parameters periodically. It’s the best protocol I have found so far.

I have a question piggy backing on the theme of this post. I pack the tube with just the glans. There is ample space in the shaft and the base packs. Does the glans packing put the pressure towards the glans and prevent the shaft from further expanding? Should I purchase a two inch tube and start for 5 minutes in the 1.75 inch tube and move to the two inch tube for 5-10 minutes? I always keep the pressure between 3-5 inHg. Currently, base and mid girth are slightly more than 5 inches, so the 1.75 tube fits the shaft. My glans is larger. Any thoughts?

It’s hard to say for sure without testing, but I think the shaft girth should catch up to the glans girth over time using a traditional cylinder that doesn’t taper simply because the glans cannot grow more girth-wise and the shaft can.

In my experience with edema blocking the tube, air could still slip past the edema from the shaft if well lubed. It wasn’t capable of forming a strong seal so I think the shaft was still under about the same amount of vacuum pressure. Any little movement caused a farting noise in the tube from air slipping past, so not much force was required. If the glans isn’t impeding the air flow from around the shaft at all, they should be at the same vacuum pressure and the girth will become the same over time.

You could see if you get greater shaft girth expansion by wearing a silicone cap over the glans to keep it compressed.

I would get a larger diameter tube if you’re planning on gaining to a corresponding girth. I haven’t experimented with changing cylinders during a single session, so I’m not sure it would be useful.

Thanks for the reply. I will look into that.

What I understand from other experienced pumpers like Titleist, is they recommend keeping a low pressure (2.5-3hg) for longer sessions.

Have you tried that? What was your experience?

Tight silicone sleeves don’t allow me to pack the tube it restricts blood flow should I cut the sleeve to loosen it?

I’m pumping for length also

If you want length you need to pump your balls and cock at the same time. That way all of your junk is being pulled on. The problem is there is a certain amount of skin from your sack attached to your cock. Without taking it with your cock while pumping you cannot fully stretch out the fundiform ligament and the suspensory ligament fully.
