Selecting Your Cylinder Size

gprent

My normal MSEG is about 5 1/2” and I dynamically pump using a Mr Fantastic water pump. I currently dynamically pump in the range 3” to 16” Hg and use baby powder under a silicone glans protector to prevent blisters. It works consistently. It has a 2 1/8” cylinder which in normal circumstances should be too big for me.

However I consistently pack the cylinder from the base to the groove after a few minutes of pumping. Post pump my MSEG is a little over 6” but returns to about 5.5” after a day or so. I do not develop any edemas or donuts but can get a bit of obvious fluid retention in the front part of my foreskin if I do not also wear a short silicone sleeve just behind the glans protector. Post pump my penis has that post pump chubby look that you sometimes see on Thunders penis pics so I am retaining some fluid at least for up to 24 hours.

Would you recommend a larger cylinder with this sort of pumping?

PE indicators are good with no visual injuries and EQ is great. I normally stop pumping for 24 hours prior to expected sex.

I also use a TENS unit set on a low frequency pulse (2Hz) with one channel exercising my BC muscle (one pad on my tail bone and one on the base of the scrotum) and the other across the base of my dick with pads on my fatpad near my leg crease either side. I find this makes my pumping go a tittle easier and I can still feel inside the cylinder. Believe it is also strengthening my pelvic floor muscles.

Sounds to me as though you don’t need to make any changes right now and everything sounds like you are on the right track. :up: :up:

Thanks. That is helpful

Hey GPrent I got one more question to ask before making this purchase. The setup I was gonna get is a LeLuv pump & cylinder package from amazon. The only thing that I think might be a problem is that the cylinder is 12 inches long. Which is 5 inches above my bpel. If this is a big issue could you recommend a place where I can get the complete package with a proper sized cylinder? I’d rather not have to buy pieces from here and there. Thanks in advance.

The Leluv standard length is 9”. Are they sold out of those?

If so and you don’t want to wait for them to restock, go here and buy the metalvac pump with one rimmed straightwall cylinder for $135 that includes shipping. These cylinders will be slightly more comfortable then the Leluv, as the rim is a little wider. It is the cylinder I use.

Hi guys.. I want to pump mostly for length gains.. I want to combine it with hanging.. Do you think it is better to pump directly after hanging or would it be better to pump in the morning and then hang in the evening. (LGhanger)

My MEG is: about 5,9 - 6,00in and my BEG is about 6,3in. Should I get the 2” or 2,25” version? (For length gains)

I would be really thankful for any answer. :)

As long as you are not going at it too hard or long with either pumping or hanging, I think I would try to pump directly after hanging and see how it goes. Both of these exercises can be aggressive, so make moderation your motto and make sure to include rest days.

I would definitely get the 2.25” cylinder.

Thanks for your answer. I am hanging everyday at least 1hour.. A few times 1 1/2 hours with the LGhanger.. Mostly in 45min sets. (BTC)
I thought we shouldn’t do rest days while hanging? What I am thinking of is switching between pumping and jelqing:

1 day hanging + 15min pumping (low pressure)
2 day hanging + 15min Jelqing
3 day hanging + 15min pumping (low pressure)
4 day hanging + 15min Jelqing.

Hey gprent, being new to Pumping I am still a little confused about what cylinder size I should purchase. I have read through many post and they talk mostly about base and mid shaft erect girth, however; what about glan erect girth should that be considered. My current BEG and MSEG are both 5.5” and my GEG 6.25”. My main goal Is length, based on your chart should I use BEG or GEG to select the size of the cylinder? Thank you in advance.

He has that size where if they had a 2 1/8” cylinder that it would be perfect.

Personally I’d do a 2” cylinder and go for length. It will get him to a 6.3” packed girth.

Wow, nice big head. You have to use your GEG or you won’t even fit into the cylinder. So get a 2.25” diameter cylinder.

I am considering a pump and have a couple questions. I am BPEL a little over 7 to 7.5 at times. My mid point girth is 4.75 4.8. I have never measured my base girth. My problem is I curve to the left a fair bit. My BP measurement up the right side is around 8.5 give or take, while the left side measurement is while the left is 7-7.5. Will my penis fit a cylinder with 4.8 girth with it being bent, or will the tube straighten it all out? If I stand a ruler along my erection on the left side there is over 3/4 of an inch space between my penis and the ruler. Any tube size or even pump unit suggestions? Thanks.. Dano

From my reading in this thread, I believe that I would be best fit with a 10x1.75 cylinder to start? My hopes are to straighten my penis, maybe achieve some extra length through the straightening and some stretching jelqing and pumping. But also to add a lot of girth. Ultimate goal is a 9x6.5, currently measured straight up at 7 x 4.8. I honestly believe if I can get the stretch up the left side going to release the bend I will quickly lengthen to at least 8 8.5 to match my right side measurements? Does this make any sense or am I pardon the pun pipe dreaming? I am new to this and am finding it as overwhelming as it is fascinating. The amount of information collected is amazing. Also, any other suggestions on how to work the left side more so then the right besides my stretching routine and side jelqing would be appreciated. If anything I have learned from this forum it is that individual workouts and results will vary as much as individual penis size and shape does. Pay attention to the positives and learn from the negatives, but always keep your eyes open for anything new. Thanks.. Dano

This indicates to me that a larger cylinder is in order if you want to continue increasing girth.

Gentelmen, first off forgive my laziness. I’ve been using a BathMate for a year and it’s time to graduate to a sized cylinder. Given my stats below, I was thinking a 9”x2” tube, does this make sense? I’m more interested in girth than length although getting to 8” would be nice. I was looking at the LA stuff - what is currently considered top of the line?
