Pumping with a glans ring

There are just two sizes, so I took them both.

As for now, I am using the smaller one hoping I will need the bigger one soon.

I have done a similar thing, but made out of rubber. I have cut a section of bicycle tire tubing about a 1” long or slightly less ( you can make it whatever length you want) and placed that around my shaft just below my head. This does prevent swelling of the area just below the glands. The rubber tubing does expand while in the pump but not all the way.
I am cut. The area that I cover is the skin from my head down to the circ. scar ring.

My head is already bigger than my shaft and my ridge does hit the tub under vacuum, but, I will always go for a bigger head.

I don’t always use the rubber ring but it does prevent the fluid buildup.
Correct selection of bicycle tire size is important because you don’t want it too tight.

ticktickticker, how exactly do you clamping for the head?

I am asking because I think clamping behind the head can be pretty dangerous (nerves).

And for the cockring:

If it shall be very thight even before one applys it, how can you get it off when the head is even bigger after a long session of clamping?

Hi Joey:

Q1: ticktickticker, how exactly do you clamping for the head?

A1: As I said: I apply the glans ring while the dick is completely flaccid. Then a wrap at the base, one cable clamp very close to the base, when the erection goes down I clamp tighter and eventually will place two further clamps next to the other ones.

Q2: I am asking because I think clamping behind the head can be pretty dangerous (nerves).

A2: There is no clamp behind the glans, just a ring. Since the ring is round and the dick is oval, the pressure points will be at the sides (not where the nerves are running).

Q3: And for the cockring: If it shall be very tight even before one applies it, how can you get it off when the head is even bigger after a long session of clamping?

A3: once you take the clamps off, the pressure in the corpora falls and the volume, too. If you still have an erection, you will have to wait before you can remove the ring.

I like the idea of making the glands bigger, but a tight ring just behind the gland sounds extremely dangerous to me.

I found water pumping to be the golden ticket for preventing any kind of localized swelling (blisters) or donut effect. Things stay nice and even. I also found that using cold water (takes getting used to) prevents any kind of discoloration from happening. Red spots, etc. The post pump effect also seems to last longer for me. Sometimes as long as 2 or 3 days, which is fine by me.

Hmm, I think I will make a longer experimental session in the following week to see if its a good idea to clamp while using a cock ring.
Will keep you updated.

@RootCap:
Since I am relative new to pumping:
I know the donught-effect is not good, but does it also hinder gains, or is it just side effect?

I already made a statement regarding the potential harm of the glans ring which I find is minor, since the ring is round, the penis oval in cross section and, as a consequence, the dorsal compressions (where the nerves are running) is minimal.

Water pumping may be beneficial but seems a little off topic if I may say so.

I’m trying this now and I must say it feels different.

The ring I’m using though is a semi firm rubber ring that still has some flex in it.

I think you have a point here there is no way I could pump with that ring on and then be able to take it off, this damn head does some crazy expansion during my pumping session. So I may
have to think of a rather softer approach.
