Vacuum Pumping 101

Just make sure you’re erect and maybe not trapping folds of skin at the base. Your penis will sort itself out in the tube.

I’ve had the same - with only water based lubes the cylinders stay crystal clear. I’ve restored cloudy ones (from using other lubes) with Autoglym cutting paste and car paintwork wax polish. With a good clean out after :)

Hi all,

So from my understanding, Thickwall Cylinders do not like petroleum based lubes, and water based lubes are the safest.

My problem is that the water based lube available in my part of the plant (ky gel for example) is not really the best for PEing, as it dries up pretty quick under constant heat.

Now, one option is to buy lube on the internet… however, buying a 10 litre container of lube from the internet, with “guaranteed to stretch those bitches assholes” written on the side, probably wouldn’t go down well with the wife :eek:

So after many hours of research on the matter, and reading some conflicting advice…. I’m none the wiser.

Now, I am in the position of having a pretty good supply of home made olive oil.

My question is, by using olive oil, would this resolve the problem of Thickwall cylinders clouding over? :-k

What about natural oils? I use shea butter for my manual work. It works better than most lubes I’ve tried, and I was planning on using that for pumping as well. That stuff is cheap, too. I can pick up an 8oz container for 2-3 euros, while most water based lubes are 5x as expensive. I’ll probably order a thickwall pump which is pretty pricey and I wouldn’t want to spend another 20 bucks a month on lube.

I contacted leluv and many of their cylinders are currently out of stock and will be back in 45-60 days. Add shipping and I’ll have to wait 3 months for my pump. No thanks.

I’ve not tried Olive oil so can’t comment on that. I find if I rinse the tube before use and don’t shake all the water out of it, it keeps water based lubes lubing for longer, The cylinder is an enclosed system, so moisture doesn’t escape much until you take the cylinder off.

I’m uncut. Go in hard and have your sword out of the sheath and you will be fine.

Thanks Firegoat for the response.

Thanks for the tip on keeping the moisture in the cylinder.

I guess the real problem for me with the water based lube is that at the start and in-between pumping sets I also Jelq.

With the water based lube, it slowly turns into a paste, and finshes as almost a glue while jelqing, when used with constant heat (fan heater in my case).

Now, the easy solution would be to switch off the heater, but as I have read, the key to gains is constant heat, which I’d like to try and maintain throughout my Routine.

So that’s where the Olive Oil idea came into play… non petroleum based (I understood this was the cause of cloudy cylinders), it is easily obtainable for me, and works well with heat.

Anyway, thanks :)

Fact is a cloudy cylinder works just as well as a clear one, as long as you have some idea where your penis is in it. I wouldn’t worry about it - try the olive oil.

Ok, thanks mate.

I will give the Olive Oil a go, and report back sometime in the future with the results.

Cheers :)

I’ve been jelqing and doing manual exercises for quite some time but recently decided to start pumping! A couple questions! Is there anything wrong with a 50 dollar sex shop pump that has a gauge on it? And the routine at the beginning of this post mentions jelqing after pumping, is that after letting your erection die down since jelqing with erections is somewhat advanced and can be dangerous?

I use Astroglide. It works great and doesn’t dry out.

Hello to all, I’ve done some vacuum pumping before, but I stoped it all for some years, due to lack of time.

Now I want to try it back. I’ll start the routine next week so I want some help to create it. I have just a little free time, so I opted to do Pumping and Jelqing.
I have a LA Pump with a gauge, and it fit’s me well.

How can I start this routine? I was thinking about doing 10min pumping and 5min jelqing, 3 times/week for the first weeks.
Then, increase the total time pumping to 2x15min with 5min jelqing at the intervals, with a ‘X’ times/week. Maybe 3 or 5 times.

Anybody experienced better results with watter pumping than air pumping? Air pumping is easyer for me, but if using water is better, I can do it.

Is it ok with this routine? Should I experience a good result?? (I know, it takes time)

Thanks to all.

I use a pump that I made that uses oral suction via a long tube.

I find that water pumping with the device in a bath is best as it is easier to control heat and suction, as long as you don’t get water too far up the tube.. As you drink it!

The first time I used the pump in the hot bath o got fantastic expansion and a deep discolouration that subsided quickly, leaving a satisfying chubby look for hours afterwards.

I’ve had a hard time reproducing that effect but the sessions have gone well.

Dry pumping is what I mostly do and I get condistant effects and No discolouration.

That sounds good, during the above time frame, use a pressure no higher than 4”hg.

I like air pumping because it is just less hassle then water pumping and I am very happy with my air pumping results.

I salute you all, my brothers in perversion. After a prolonged hiatus I’m coming back and what better and pleasurable than pumping? I have just made a deal with my girlfriend: She wants to try clit pumping to enjoy even more my other addiction: cunnilingus, and me to return to pumping to give her even more pleasure from my 7 x 5.5 “old faithful”.
