Selecting Your Cylinder Size

Rotema:

Base girth of 6” to 6.5”

Over 6 and less than 6.25. The 6.125 is what I’ve been using. I packed my 2” and the 2.25 was a tad too large but the 2.125 is just right.

Thank you for the quick reply!

I recognize that there a lot of threads on the topic of pump/cylinder sizing and I have read many of them, however it was some time ago.

I am looking for knowledge and thoughts on which cylinder yo use going forward.

I own both a 2”x9” cylinder and a 2.25”x9” cylinder. With the 2” cylinder, I can fully pack the tube up to the 6”-6.5” mark and the glans tip reaching just over the 8” mark. With the 2.25” cylinder, I can pack the tube to 3” mark and the glans tip reaching the 7.5” mark.

Question I have is - should I continue to use the 2”x9” cylinder or only use the 2.25”x9” cylinder going forward?

Much appreciated in advance.

To me it would be inspiring to be reaching that 8” mark on the 2.0, so I don’t see any reason not to continue with both. Just start your routine with the 2.0 and after packing, switch over to the 2.25 and continue with your routine.

I have my Vacutech cylinders that I pump with, 9” x 1.75” and 9” x 2”. My base erect girth is 6.0” but my midshaft erect girth is 5.5”. When I use the 1.75” cylinder I can feel myself pack against the walls, doesn’t feel pleasant. When I use the 2” cylinder I start to pack up to 1” from the base but the feeling in this cylinder feels better after leaving the smaller one. I can also milk the cylinder during my pump sessions. Should I stick to the smaller cylinder if I’m working on length, or use a combo of both during a pump session, or just stick to the larger cylinder? I would say my primary goal is length and secondary goal is a 6” erect girth throughout.

Yes. Get some better lubricant, really gotten attached to vaseline honestly. A tight tube is not pleasant but sometimes is needed.

The 1.75” will not assist in your girth goals. So you can mix and try but I recommend picking a goal and fighting for it. 2” for girth or 1.75” for length and put time and effort into one first.

Thanks thoughtfulgold! Will get that 1.75” tube to work! As for lubrication I just use Wet Original water based lubricant but I will check out some other ones. Vaseline sounds easy but I imagine the cleaning of the tubes will be a task, unless I just leave it permanently greased :)

I don’t drink out of mine so permanent grease works till time for a cleaning lol.

I recommend thick lube as thinner can give way under heavy friction.

So last night I used a thicker type lubricant (aquaphor). For the 1.75” cylinder I felt the same uncomfortable feeling, and actually felt less of a stretch inside that cylinder (have markings along the cylinder to gauge where my location is). For the 2” cylinder I actually achieved a greater stretch and was further in, and also felt much more comfortable in the cylinder (my shaft didn’t feel like the walls were pressing hard.. Cause I only pack at the base). Is this normal? Should I still sarge on with the 1.75” cylinder for length even though I get a longer stretch in the 2”? Or am I getting a longer stretch in the 2” cylinder for other reasons?

Sounds to me like the 2.0 is giving you a better all around experience, so use that one. Some things you just have to decide on your own based on your own experience.

I’ll try lubing up the 1.75” a lot more and see if that might make a difference. If I use the 2.0” will I eventually pack the tube over a longer period of time?

It’s very hard to predict gains as everyone is different physically and in the dedication that is maintained over a continuous period.

What pressure are you using and how long are your sessions?

Hi everyone,

So I’m looking to get a mushroom head cylinder, but I was wondering .. Should I make the first stage diameter 1.75 or 2 inch ? I’m thinking 2 inch since I want to gain shaft girth also..

My erect base girth is 5 inches while mid shaft is roughly 4.8, by the way

Thank you for any tips also!!
( I feel Pathetic with my shrimp)

Going the route similar to the best BBQ, low and slow! 4-5 Hg and 20 minute sessions each day. Will I likely need to increase time in the tube per session or add another one in each day?
