Should I Be Able To Touch The Cylinder Walls With Low Pressure?

Hey guys,

I dropped my bathmate in fear of using too much unknown pressure. Bought a pump with a gauge, consulted the cylinder guide, bought a 1.75 inch diameter as my BPEG is between 4.75 and 5 inches and that seemed right.

Thing is, I’m worried about the expansion I’m getting with water pumping up to 5hg. It fits the cylinder at least at the base with not too many pumps in. So far this feels so much safer than my bath mate though, I’m just having trouble taking it out when I’m done and wondered whether that’s normal or if I should be using a cylinder I can’t fill at safe pressures.

By the way, I think I’ve read 4-7hg is safe for newbies? I know for sure I had to be more than that with the bathmate as 5hg felt comfortable today and I reached the same length with almost no discomfort.

Still, I worry when I see my veins pressed tightly against the glass and that’s really the only thing I didn’t have a problem with in the bathmate. The method recommended here, however, left me with no red dots.

I’ll probably buy the 2” cylinder tonight but figured I’d get some feedback at the same time. If I end up not needing it, it’s there to grow into :)

Thanks in advance!

Touching just the one side of the cylinder? If so that’s nothing to be concerned about, doesn’t cause any dramas.

I’m hovering just under 5” in girth and am using a 2” cylinder which I find a little too big, the 1.75” would be a better fit at the moment until you gain a bit more in girth. The selecting a cylinder size thread is 100% spot on, you can trust it with your life!

I don’t touch my 2” girth cylinder all around until I pump for about 30 minutes.. But mostly thats water retention. My 1.75 I cannot enter unless I am KY lubed and it hurts like a bugger pumping anywhere above 2HG, mind you, I stretch out to 8” because the cylinder presses through my fatpad.

That sounds great. Start working on freeing those 8 inches from the fat!
