pumping newbie

I’m about the same girth as codemp and I just got Dr. Kaplan’s pump (9x2). I was worried about 2” being too big due to other posts I read. I have to say that once I start pumping I feel like my girth is filling the entire width of the cylinder. I was glad I didn’t get smaller. Are you saying that I’m sacrificing length gains because of this?

Also I’ve heard about other guys occasionally getting a nut sucked up into the cylinder. This hasn’t happened to me, thank God, since I’ve got Varicocele. Anyone have any advice about how not to get your nut sucked up into the cylinder?

Don’t lube your sack, and remember to pump slowly. I also press the end of the tube into my body pretty hard.

Keep the lube off of your sack. Lube on the old bag allows the skin to suck into the tube, either smashing your balls against the rim or heaven forbid, sucking it in.

Thanks Xorgfoo & lasting. I appreciate your help.
