Selecting Your Cylinder Size

Yesterday itself I tried the new leluv pump. The session was very good and really this pump works far better than other pumps I used. The gauge is accurate and the needle moves slowly and accurately as squeeze. The cylinder is high quality and awesome. Only drawback I felt is the vacuum releasing method ie it need to unscrew the valve. While dynamic pumping routine it will be difficult to unscrew and screw every 30 seconds. How do you all manage it? One more thing while cleaning up the tube.. Is it okay to get wet the connector tip of the cylinder?

Thanks gprent for this thread.

There should be a pressure relief button on the underside of the pump barrel below the gauge. Just push to release. Another way to release the pressure quickly is to push your finger straight in at the base of the cylinder. It’s OK to get the connector wet with water. Just give it a shake to get rid if excess before connecting.

I’m about to buy my first bathmate. My length is around 7.5 inch hard bone pressed and my middle erection girth is around 5.3 inch ( I’m thicker at the base because of excessive skin. Around 5.7-5.8 at the base) Can I use Hydromax x30? I can’t buy anything more expensive than this so will I be okay if I buy it?

I strongly recommend a conventional cylinder with a gauge. It allows for monitoring of vacuum levels and repeatable results.

So you don’t recommend bathmate? Is there a brand that you recommend?

This is the pump to get with a gauge:

Use the table on the 1st post of this thread to select your cylinder diameter.

Gprent just gave you the best solution.

Thanks gprent for taking the time to help me and all the others. It’s very much appreciated.

Following what Kyrpa and others are doing protocol-wise, I’m hanging for three months (1 month in), and then switching to 1 month pumping to hopefully turn BPFSL to BPEL, followed by 2 months decon then repeating.

My measurements now are 7x5.5, and I’m planning to get the LA Pump Deluxe kit with a 2”x10” cylinder. Is the 10” too long given that I sometimes reach 7.25” BPEL, and imagine after another month of hanging could be at 7.5” during the best case?

Plan to start at 3 pressure for 3 x 5 minute sets and move up in time as you recommended earlier in this thread.

I have a question in regard to the sizing guide.

I’ve recently decided I will purchase a thickwall cylinder and my base girth is 6”. However my midshaft is only 5.0”

I’m going for girth mainly but length wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Question is should I just go for the 2” because my midshaft isn’t gonna fill anyway? If I’m correct in this assumption

Cheers

Yes, I think the 2 inch cylinder will be best for you.

Great! Thanks a lot.

I decided to buy a 1.75” x 12” cylinder since the 1.75 x 9 one was sold out. Would the extra 3” in length make a difference? Hoping it would be a positive one.

Currently @ 7.5 BPEL x 5.25 EG

It won’t make any difference as far as gaining goes. But for me with the 9” tube I get a visual incentive to try and reach the end of the tube. With the 12” tube, that goal is not going to happen.

Hey, I am new to pumping and I want to order a LeLuv Pump. Thanks gprent for the information in this thread.

Currently having 7.95 BPEL x 6.14 BEG.
My goal is 9x6.5, so I want to gain length and a bit girth.
I would choose a 2.25x10 Cylinder. I think that this size will be big enough to get me to that goal without buying another Cylinder.
Just wanted to ask here if that works out before buying it.

And I would be thankful if anyone can recommend a good Routine.

A LeLuv pump with a gauge is a great pump to buy and will last a very long time. If you can find a 10X2.25” cylinder go for it, but I think you are going to have to buy a 12”X2.25”.

Before starting it is a good idea to trim or shave your pubes around the base of your cock. This aids with getting a good seal. It is a good idea to use a lube to help get full insertion into the tube and to also help you get out of the tube when you have finished your routine. I like to use a water based lube because it is the easiest to clean up but you can pick the lube of your choice. Do not use petroleum jelly because it is thick and very difficult to clean up.

I think it is best to enter the tube erect or at least with a semi. To start with press the tube into your crotch and begin to pump up to a pressure of 3”hg. Thats 3 inches mercury vacuum pressure on the pump dial. Stay at that pressure for 5 to 10 minutes depending on your comfort level. I would recommend wrapping the tube in a heat pad to aid expansion, but that is not necessary to get started. Probably keep your routine around 10 minutes for the first week to get accustomed to the new experience. Signs of overdoing it include red spots and or bruising, but you shouldn’t have to worry about that at this level.

After a week start using 5”hg as your max pressure and your time at 15 minutes. For a very long time after that you can continue to keep using 5”hg pressure but keeping extending your time slowly up to 20 to 25 minutes. After you get to this stage your are through the basics. You can make your pumping schedule to be every other day or 2 on, 1 off or 3 on 1 off. Experiment to find out what works best for you. Always be on the look out for signs of over doing it that usually first show up a red spots that are broken capillaries neat the surface of your skin. Once to get to this level you are pretty much on your own, but you can keep seeing progress staying at 5”hg and 20 to 25 minutes.

This exercise is kind of unusual because it should really feel quite good so that makes pumping all the more fun. Keep us posted on your progress and any questions or problems you run across.
