Pumping Question

Bobisack go to healthyandactive.com you can get a cylinder & pump for about 65 dollars!

My pump came Thursday and was what was ordered. Very good service.

My Kaplan 1.75 pump tube is tapered(smaller toward the end) and my head fills it up, but not my entire shaft. I would prefer a straight wall cylinder. Just info for those of you considering a Kaplan tube.

Stretchin’

Are you still a pumping virgin, lasting, or did you use your new toy? Let us know what you think of it.

lasting - that looks like a great deal from healthyandactive.com; a pump and gauge system for under $75 shipped. And Kaplan is reputable. That was a score. :up:

I do wonder at this though:

“Sizing: 80% of men will use the 2 inch diameter cylinder.”

Do they mean “at some point in their life as a pumper”?

It seems that you have to have a shaft measurement of a little more than 5.5” to use 2” at the very least around the base of the shaft.

Most of the varied data about size show 5.5” to definitely be on the larger side of the scale. Wasn’t it Lifestyles that sugested the mean average girth was 4.95” - 5.1”? (Well, what do they know? They just make CONDOMS.) Even the reality distorting PenisSizeDebate site (which puts average girth between 5” and 5.2”) agrees.

Granted these are not base-of-the-shaft measurements, but still… 5.5” is definitely the high side of average if not the low side of large or large.

I use a 12 x 2.5 cylinder. I started packing it awhile back. Supposedly, 2.5 will take you up to 7” girth.

Right.

And a 2” tube is for up to 6.25” I think.

Charles at LA Pump can answer all your questions punctually and professionally. He recommended two cylinders for me. One is for girth and one is for length. Yes, I had to spend more for two cylinders, but I am already seeing the advantages of this two cylinder approach. This is my third week into pumping and pumping plus jelqing seems to be working for me. I have that feeling that I am making gains. I have a bigger flaccid hang all day. Also picked up a quarter on an inch in girth erect in three weeks. To be truthful, I had been jelqing for a couple of months before I began pumping so I cant discount girth from jelging. Nighttime and morning wood are much much better. Pumping is great. On LA Pumps website, use the recommended link for emailing the company and Charles will answer. He has made some great gains he says from pumping.

Well that seals it!

Charles is very cool, to be sure.

Happy,

Yes it was a good deal. As for the 2” tube, I packed it after a few months of pumping 4-5 yrs ago, but alot of it was swelling. The 1 3/4 seems to feel alot better at this time. I only want to gain 1/2” both ways. That would get me to 7 1/2 by 5 1/2. Not big by some peoples standards but will be plenty for me and the little lady.

Indeed.

I’d love 5.5”, the 80% does seem a little inflated.

I use a 1.75 and I come close to packing after my second or thrid set, but I still have a ways to go until I move up the the 2 inch.

Just curious, what is the disadvantage of using 2” diameter cylinder if you’re only 5”+ diameter? My nuts haven’t gotten sucked in so far, and I’m getting great results. Everyone keeps suggesting it should be too big unless you’re 5.5”, but it’s not the case for me. I’m using Kaplan BTW. Is it because their cylinders are different than LAPumps?

ThinkTank, what is the difference between the length/girth cylinders? Why does one promote girth while one promotes length?

The girth cylinder is a quarter of an inch wider in diameter than the length cylinder. I would assume the concept is that there is more room for your pecker to expand in the wider girth cylinder. The length cylinder is narrower so it pulls your pecker forward more in the cylinder. Charles says that using the two cylinder approach is the quickest way to gains. So I pump half my time in the girth cylinder and half my time in the length cylinder each day using Avocet8 recommendations for the total time I should be in the cylinder as a guide. I do find that going into the cylinders as hard as you can get makes a difference in lymph swelling or whatever causes pecker swelling. For us older guys, the difference in nightime hards and morning wood is phenonimal. If this continues, I think pumping is the best anti aging remedy and the best kept secret among men in nightime and morning wood. As Avocet8 says, the research is showing that nightime and morning wood is the key to keeping a healthy dick and healthy erections as us men age. I think that pumping has gotten a bad rap, a stigma among men because of the atrocities on tigerpumping. Maybe the men on this website sharing information with each other can help stem the tide on the benefits of pumping and penis health.
