Stepping down one tube size to focus on length?

Hey guys,

What do you think?

I started with a 1 3/4” tube and have now moved on to a 2” tube. I`m halfway packing it now.

Would it be wise going back to the 1 3/4” tube if I desire length gains? I don`t seem to be gaining much length with the 2” tube.

I know GPrent has warned about the dangers of this because mostly all of the force will be exerted on the head and thus the dangers of blisters and such will increase.

Opinions/suggestions?

Yes, I go along with this, it seems logical that concentrating on length is best done at the expense of girth and therefore a narrower tube would suffice. I understand the pitfalls about pressure being concentrated on the head, but what else do you do when you just want length from your pumping? I personally feel that pumping for long periods, like any form of stretching, at low pressure/tension will eventually bring results as consistency seems to be a key factor. Perhaps compromising and mixing your methods might even be better?

The danger of blisters is low at low pressures. If you stay at the recommended level (pressure, time) the risk is acceptable.

Whether pumping results in permanent changes is debated, but if it does your approach should work.

Give it a try and good luck.

But as you know, here at Thunder it is well advised to consider pumping only one method of Peing.
For example we all do jelqing between sets or, as I prefer, good sessions of manual clamping and squeezes. This combo give me the same results of “pure clamping” but, I am sure, in a safer mode.

I agree, I would not recommend a pumping only approach.

I realize that this is an old post, but I have a counterpoint. I think that you should start with one approach as long as you’re seeing gains and you don’t have injuries. I think the “kitchen sink” approach to P.E. Causes more injuries and inconveniences (I.e. Doughnut, redness). I believe pumping alone can be effective and, if done at low pressure, very low risk.
Some low intensity jelqing is ok, but if I did any type of clamping, hanging, or stretching, than I would have some problems.

My two cents

I have had a pump about 2 years and just mess around with it some. Last fall I finally figured out I had a leak, got a gauge for it. So for about a month I used it 4 times a weeks at aroud 5hg for an hour I never could pack it. I am 6” around and it is a 2 x 10 pump. I have been away from pump since january and I will get back to using it next year. What do I need to do to pack the pump? Lower hg?

If you don’t have a tight enough tube you can simply put a sock over your cock to compensate.

I’ve been doing this for several months now and have achieved a slight increase in length, however, it is too early to say for sure whether this approach actually works. I am packing a 6” girth into a 2” diameter thickwall cylinder. This can only be achieved with a good erection and the whole of my cock fully lubed. Once in though it’s quite comfortable. I have been on a plateau for some time and hope this approach gets things moving on the length front. On a more general note, although the merits of pumping are debatable, I think it is easily the most pleasurable and convenient form of PE I’ve ever tried.
