Vacuum Pumping 101

You could try to take a deconditioning break and continue your normal routine again, your dick might just be very toughened up and not responding to manual stretching. But the ADS/hanging approach should work too in theory. After you decondition theres no guarantee that stretching will make you gain again, so ADS/hanging would likely be more reliable, however they are much more time consuming and intense, making you prone to injury. Up to you.

Thanks. Like you say, hopefully ADS/hanging will more likely make me increase length again. Will have to manual stretch to slowly get back into things then hit ADS and hanging. I’ll do some more thread digging on the subject, see what more I can learn.

Recently made the leap and bought a pump. I noticed that while I’m starting to build up pressure during the first 2-5 mins of my routine I am slowly loosing 1-1.5 hg of pressure. Eventually it seems to equalize and I only need to give it a little boost once every few mins. I’m wondering if this is normal? Or should the pressure simply remain constant once pumped to a desired level?

Thanks.

Most likely your penis is expanding thereby dropping the pressure. After a few mins your penis has largely stretched out, hence a few little pumps there after.

Definitely normal. I get air leakage because I don’t shave and my pubes sometimes allow air to slowly travel into the tube as well. I actually like the sensation of having to repump often, so I don’t mind it at all. Keeps me very hard while in the tube.

Thanks guys for the replies. Much appreciated. Those are the answers I was looking for.

Is there any way to avoid skin stretch while/after pumping? I don’t want foreskin restoration. I notice the skin around my circumcision has a ring of skin around the shaft that indicates there may be some loose skin growing there and possible foreskin restoration. If I use a wrap after pumping the reduce the edema there, would that work?

Wrap during pumping might be a better idea? Or both during and after.

Is there a way to make dick big and pump before sex without pumping?

If your mid girth is bigger than base girth, and packs the tube first, does the penis underneath still get a work out?

I assume yes as the pump works by using a pressure difference to pull blood into the penis, which is what creates the pressure pushing out inside the penis right?

Not sure if this is the correct thread to ask but has anyone else experienced a line of de-coloration across the top of their shaft about an inch from the base? It doesn’t hurt but I just think it’s weird. After a few hours it dims and is faint but I just want to make sure I didn’t damage something. I’ve been pumping regularly for about 2 months not pushing too hard and doing two days on one day off. Any insight into this would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Dry Jelqing.

I did some wrapping techniques inside the pump and it feels like there is less intensity in your scenario at the base if the top half blocks pressure reaching the base.

You might check how your dick is pressing against the tube thus letting some blood to stall there. Can be tricky to get it free “floating”.

Yeah fair enough, not sure what I can do about that though re mid shaft packing tube before base…

Bigger tube where your midshaft has room to grow/expand..

Problem is I can’t get a seal with a bigger tube due to the angle of erection. Plus that mid shaft is packing a tube with inner circumference of 6.2 inches, I don’t really want to get bigger than that…
