Selecting Your Cylinder Size

I have the same girth measurement and a 2” cylinder which is perfect, especially if you want girth. Length sounds about right. :)

Thanks, appreciate it! Ordered the 2” cylinder :)

The 12” tube seems very big. I only reach about 7-7.5 inch in the tube due to the vacuum seal which decreases my size a bit plus that it’s not fully bone pressed. So I have like 5 inch of space left! The width seems perfect tough.

Is this ok? I assume as long as I have a vacuum seal it shouldnt really matter how long it is?

Hi Jopie,
I’ve got a Flanged 10” x 2” tube. When I started pumping, I was about 7.5” BPEL.

After my first couple of pumping sessions, (5 mins @ 3 Hg x 2) I was approx 7.5” long measured at the end of the session, (including the flange) in the tube at 3 Hg .

I would therefore think, that you should be able to at least get somewhere close to your BPEL measurement (which is approx 8.5”).

My BPEL is 7.6” now. My Routine includes 20 mins @ 3 to 5 Hg x 2. I now measure 8.15” at the end of the session, (including the flange) in the tube at 5 - 6 Hg. I have less than 2” to the end of the tube.

So, in the future, I would be surprised if you had more than 3” at the end of the tube… giving you room to grow.

For now though, I don’t see the extra tube length being a problem. The main points are that the diameter (width) is correct, and your penis is not hitting the end, with room to grow. ;)

So this thread is 59 pages long so I didn’t read the entire thing but where do you guys buy your pumps and which companies do you like? I wanna buy a 1.75 x either 8 or 9. Can’t decide which length.

Also how much of a difference will it make in gains by getting the right size tube??

The correct size is very important. Too small and you outgrow it too fast, or just don’t fit in. Too large and your balls can get sucked into the tube.

This LeLuv pump is an excellent pump to get you started at a good price. They only sell 9" so just select the 1.75".

Also, You may fail to get vacuum if you buy a tube that’s too wide. Sizing tubes takes time and hopefully you get it right on the first try.

I personally go to pumptoys and get a VelSeal tube.

Now I just have a shitty beginners power pump, it’s too big in width and tends to lose its suction easily. I will say my balls and stuff don’t get sucked in really but I just know they’re not a good pump and it would be wise to invest in one.

Will results come quicker with it being smaller? Right now I’m in the air between a good pump or a cheap extender. I already have a pump but it’s not great as you know.

You will see a big difference using that LeLuv pump and a 1.75” cylinder.

I didn’t even see your post Till now TG… I’m tempted to just buy a tube itself off the site since I already have the pump part on the top and I guess I’d just need a different sleeve… I do like that it’s clear and has marking on it too.

Gprent: thanks for the help, I think I’m going to pull the trigger on one of these pumps sometime this week.

Can you give us a link to your current pump. I want to see what it looks like to make sure it is compatible with what you want to do. Professional pumps all use common connectors, but cheap pumps can not be intermixed with professional.

It’s not exactly that pump and I think they’re different size but it’s the exact same setup. It’s a sleeve at the bottom and a ball pump on top. Same thing just looks different.

I’m pretty sure gprent will agree that you can’t use that assembly on any of the professional grade pumps we use. The interface looks non-standard. That’s just my own eye, though.

Two problems. That squeeze bulb pump is crap and it won’t connect to any professional cylinder. The LeLuv pump has a gauge and it is a quality pump.

Well with that being said I think I’m going to do the LeLuv. Save a little cash and it comes with the full setup. Thanks for the help G & TG
