Selecting Your Cylinder Size

Contacted them and no refund or discount on a new pump

I have a question regarding cylinder size.

My current MSEG is 5.1” (and it’s bigger than my BEG) which means I should get 1.75” cylinder.

2” cylinders are for people with 5.5”-6” girth and I’m nowhere near that. Nonetheless, 2” cylinder fits me perfectly.

The base is flared a bit (as shown in attached picture) which greatly helps with the seal and preventing suction of scrotum.

What confuses me is… If or when I decide to buy larger cylinder and in case it doesn’t have flared base, should I go for 2” (assuming it will be actually fitting for bigger girth that I’ll have later) or 2.25”?

Are these cylinders any good?

Also my dick is 13 cm girth so I should get 1.75 cylinder width right? I’m aiming for length first

I just picked up a 1.75” pump (Dr Joel Kaplan) with a gauge off of ebay. I’ve only been doing PE for about 3-4 weeks now and only got the pump because it was a good deal and to experiment a bit.

I don’t want to start my PE-journey by going too hard and forcing myself to plateau early. If I only do pumping a couple of times a week, at low pressures and at short time intervals (no more than 10 minutes pumping), will this cause me to plateau early? Anyone have any suggestions as to a light pumping routine I can work into the newbie routine, and eventually escalate into something more vigorous as my dick gets used to all of this exercise?

Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks for clarifying this. My base girth is 5.25 so luckily your example explained things perfectly.

Hi there people. I am using a bathmate goliath and I think it’s ok in size lengthwise but I think it’s to wide for me. I guess this is effecting the results in a bad way. I like using my bathmate but how bad is it if it’s to wide? Will it give me no length gains?

At a paltry 4.25” girth, which cylinder should I purchase?

The 1.5” or the 1.75”?

Going to purchase a vacutech unit. Also should I opt for the thickwall cylinder or the flared cylinder?

LangA, I’m in the same predicament as you being a 4.25” MEG and trying to find a cylinder. According to the size chart we fall in the 1.5” range. My primary focus is girth, but I want length too. Seeing that we are .5” away from minimum 1.75” cylinder recommendation, we should probably go with the 1.5” cylinder.

I just threw caution to the wind and opted for the 1.75” thickwall cylinder.

It works alright, forms a seal just fine,but I can see it’s going to be a while before I come anywhere near filling it out :( So your observations above are spot on johndough, the 1.5” would probably be perfect given the 1.75 is slightly overlarge for me.

Gives me something to work toward I guess.

Enough jelqing, stretching (and caverject, IGF and Potoba) and I’ll fill it out one day.

Edit: though can happily report I appear to have grown to 4.33” in girth now, just below the glans. Only been jelqing 2 months, so little by little.

Mind if I ask you guys a question ? If your erect girth is 4.25” what is your flaccid girth ?

Not something I’d measured until now. 3.33” base and 3.5” just below glans.

I honestly think I’ve been shortchanged in size due to some form of vascular problem down there.
I am turtled savagely & perpetually, can kegel alright for a week or three, then suddenly I can’t kegel at all, and it takes several days to regain strength there again.
I haven’t changed in size since I was 14 or so, and I’m in my thirties now. No growth through my teens at all, which is surely not normal.

Excuses, excuses.

Scotland, I don’t usually measure flaccid, my flaccid hang is pretty good right now for some reason, so pointless measuring it. But usually it is horrible and my unit is shriveled and cold. So, I would estimate my normal is 2.5-3 length x 2.5-3 girth for flaccid.

LangA, the same thing happened to me. I was fully developed by 14 years old and haven’t changed physically. I am the same height, still wear the same clothes and shoe size. I am small at 5’6” 135 lbs., mid twenties now and no sign of more growth. I can put on muscle fairly easily, so its not low testosterone. However, I do not get fat easily and I lose weight very easily (including muscle mass if I don’t work out).

Thanks for the replies guys. I once measured at 3” girth 2 years ago when I was very cold. Usually I was around 3.5”. Nowadays for a variety of reasons, which I will explain in a post here when I get around to it, I measure between 3.8” and 4.2” flaccid girth. Ideally I’d like to be 4.5”

If I’m far more interested in girth then length at this point, is the size guide in the original post still accurate? I’m 4.75” circumference, and would like to get to 5.25” around before going for length. According to the table, I should grab a 1.75 diameter tube, but not sure what the focus of that size tube is.

According to this I should have a 1.75 tube. I was afraid that I would out grow that. I bought a 2 1/4 tube. I am searching for girth. Is it important to pack for growth. I have no issues with my nuts getting sucked into the tube. Do I need to get the smaller tube to grow. I pump 3-4 hg.
