Size Up Or Stay the course?

Classic mushroom head problems.

I’m trying to pump for length.

On my last pump thread I mentioned packing the bottom 1/3. I just packed the whole tube for the first time. 1.75 tube
My pressure is kept in the -5 to -7hg range.
I’m a little worried about how much my oversized glans is getting smashed.
Should I stay the course with the 1.75 tube and lube the hell out of it?
Should I size up to 2in tube immediately?
Should I drop the pump and start hanging? Is that harder for us mushroom shaped guys?
I will reiterate that I’m looking for length first and foremost, with roughly an hour a day to work with. 4-5 days a week

If the entire tube is packed AND you’re looking to get comfort for the glans get out of the 1.75” ASAP. Length can still be had from pumping. I would try the 2” and stay the course with it. But I’m a pumper and anti hanging.

However, hanging done well is the best length there is.

What is your erect glans girth and shaft girth?

Shaft 5 1/4

Glans just shy of 6

Always appreciate your advice TG
Thank You

Go with the 2.0.

Enough said

Any recommendations to keep my ball skin from getting sucked into the tube?

Will be buying a new leluv tube

I always go with VelSeal from Pumptoys. Much better seals. Reduces testicle suck.

I second this! I won’t buy anything else.

Thanks guys I really appreciate the info

You might want to consider the GlansXpand tubes from PumpToys. I just got one, and I plan to write a review after I have had some more time with it. My first impression is that it is pretty good. I think it would help you to continue to focus on length while not squashing your glans or sucking up extra skin.

Those prices at pump toys scared me off.

Already ordered the 2in leluv

Maybe if I outgrow this one 1 will consider a higher end pump

I’ll tell you. As someone who has spent at least a clean $1000 on JUST TUBES you get your money’s worth on a tube you can use for long periods. I couldn’t pump for more than 10 minutes at a time with other tubes. Literally, VelSeal made it possible for me.

But…it is up to you. After all, ain’t no rules and no reason to change if it works for you.

30$ for the seal didn’t bother me.

Trying to throw 200$ at a pump tube isn’t really an option for me.

How long do the seals last?

Haven’t had one wear out. But this may change depending on your cylinder opening profile. VelSeal cylinders are designed with a particular flange opening. The LeLuv may be different. So in your case, I can’t say.

Mine only cost $130, for a 10” long version. So I’m unsure where $200 comes from. Seal comes with the tube. Uses the same setup as whatever pump you have, provided it uses standard male and female couplings. LeLuv should if I’m correct.
