I’m not trying to spend 100$ on a penis pump though, you know. I know I need qualtiy, but I just feel like some of them are priced rediculously. I came across this one, but I just have no idea whether its of decent quality or not. http://www.heal thyandactive.co … s-pump-set.html
Also, for any of you guys who have seen the pump Whiteflood is selling, I’d buy that thing in a second if it wasn’t 2" diameter.. Is the .25" width difference really going to kill me? Or should I play it safe?
By the way, there are no sex stores around my area that I know of, only reason why I resorted to bugging you guys =]
According to Selecting Your Cylinder Size , a 1.75" diameter tube should be good.
The pump and cylinder from your link looks reasonable and is reasonably priced for what it is. It looks roughly comparable to the Dr. Kaplan cylinders, with the advantage of being straightwall rather than tapered.
A 0.25" increase in diameter is not going to kill you, but can make quite a difference in the quality of your experience with the tube. It means that it will take you longer to pack the cylinder at the base, and increases the chance of sucking a testicle into the tube, which is painful.
If you are inclined to gamble on the 2.0" cylinder, there are things you can do to reduce the chance of pulling a testicle into the tube. One thing you can do is use a loose wrap at the base of your scrotum. Another is to be very careful about how you increase vacuum (not too much too quickly).

I disagree on that one, tinytim. The larger diameter cylinder does not intrinsically produce more fluid buildup. It all depends on how it is used (or misused).
