Selecting Your Cylinder Size

Thanks oz

Hi Gprent, I’m Italian and now I live in Italy. Sorry for my bad English. I hope you’ll understand my doubtful. I read many of your threads in Thunder’s place forum and I admire your knowledge in pumping: your advices helped me so much. But now I decide to “pass to another level”: I’ve used a simple “plastic pump” for one years, taken in a sexy shop here in Italy. Unfortunately, in Italy we don’t have professional penis pumps. Now, I know that a professional pump is the best way (and the right way) to reach results. I’m especially interesting in La Pumps and Boston Pumps, but I’m worry about lead-time and their “shipping charge”. I’ve wrote to Boston Pump but they tell me that the minimum shipping charge to Italy is $100 with DHL and nothing about lead-time in sending product. Can you give me more careful information about that? If you were me, do you prefer La Pump or Boston Pump (according to my “geographic position”)?
Please help me in my choice!
Thank you,

Jimmy

There are other quality pumps and cylinders, and if their shipping costs are different, they may be worth considering:
Picturebright
PumpToys
Vacutech

I don’t know what lapdist charges to ship to Italy, but I think it should be a lot less that $100. Just go to their site and select your product as though you were going to buy it now. Fill out the order forms including your name and address and continue until you get to the part where they add in the shipping charges to your bill. Just stop there if you are not prepared to buy now and go back and delete the order. As long as you don’t take the final step to make the purchase, you won’t be charged.

Hi Jimmy2284

I had a good search on Italian sites But they seem rather confused talking about penis pumps (I tried one hit and found he was talking about his cat!.

However I tried a search on e-bay and found the following site which offers a full kit with 2¼ inch (approx 55mm) Tube

It is an American site and states that world-wide shipping is $15 -(even to Canada) But check what the shipping will be to Italy.

The link from here in the UK is

I’m not sure whether that will make it for you but if you try a search on e-bay in Italy for ‘Boston Penis pump’ you might get a result straight to Italy.

If not there are pumps available in Europe, I bought one in the UK (do a search on ‘Body-images penis pumps”) They ship for £15.00 (About 20 euros) But again do a search and see what you get in Italy.

Any problems, do come back to us - we are here to help

Good luck!

Thank you for your professionalism, guys! I will compare all the solutions! Vavutech e PictureBright were unknown to me but they seem good choices!
I hate Italy for his lack of quality in this things! Our sexy shops are so bad! :)
Bye!

I’m looking for a pump with a cylinder size of 1.75 diameter.. But I have no idea where to look for it online. I live in the US.

Anyone who bought the same size know a reliable place to purchase one for a beginner?

Hmmm, well I looked around and though it was a little bit pricey, Lapdist seemed like the best place to get it from!

Deluxe Pump (w/PSI Gauge)
Cylinder
Length: 9in
Width: 1-3-4in

I’m around 6.5-6.8 BPEL, and 4.5-4.7 EG, so I’m pretty sure I have the right size!

Ok, I have a question.

I currently have a 2” ID tube, I want to work on both girth and length. My measurements are 5.5” BPEL and my girth is between 4”-4.25”. Is the tube I have now too much or should I get a smaller one? Also what length tube should I get? The tube is like 7-7.5” in length.

Thanks!

The ideal cylinder size for you would be a 8”X1.5” that is available from lapdist for $70. This size would provide the most comfortable fit for you as far as preventing your balls from being sucked into the cylinder.

So the question is, how comfortable are you pumping with your current cylinder? If it is a constant hassle trying to keep you balls out of the cylinder, then you should buy the smaller size.

Double check your base girth though to make sure you don’t fall into the 1.75” diameter cylinder category.

Question:

I’m currently 8.25BPEL x 6 girth. I currently have a 2.00 tube and looking to move up. Right now I’m working on both Length and girth but mostly girth. My problem is what length tube should I get? I want to get a 9”x3” tube but I’m not to sure if that’s long enough. My thinking is that since it’s 3” wide that my penis will fill the tube up width wise before it starts to go length wise so the 9” tube is okay. Am I correct to believe this?

The perfect size tube for you is a 10”X2.25”. If you got that 3” diameter tube, you would find it to be way too large and you would have difficulty keeping your balls out of the tube.

I’ve been thinking of getting a pump; I’m still new to this. My EG at the base is a bit over 5.5, but it’s nearly 2” wide already, so should I still go for the 2” diameter cylinder? The sizing info on the bostonpump website says it should be 2.25”.

You will be most comfortable with a 2” cylinder. I am very surprised at that Bostonpump size chart. Normally, the manufacturers charts guide you to buy a cylinder that is too small and doesn’t allow for any expansion, but that Bostonpump chart is the exact opposite and makes way too large a cylinder recommendation, especially for the larger girths. I don’t think they put too much thought into their sizing chart.

Could it be because the Bostons have the contriction at the opening, so that their 2.25” cylinder is actually 2” at the opening?
