Good evening (or whatever time it is your way). I figured it was time to make my first post after lurking for a while. I have read around a bit on here and decided to start a jelqing-pumping routine. I’m completely new to all this and I fall into the low average category (5.5” BPEL, 4.5” EG maybe add 1/4” to both if I’m super horny). My wife has never complained, but she supports me doing this for my own reasons. My ultimate goal is an extra inch or so in both length and girth. This seems to be a realistic goal after reading the stories on here.
For pumps, being new, fairly broke due to COVID-19 layoffs and unsure of how this will work out for me, I don’t want to spend an absurd amount of money. I know that cylinder diameter is supposed to be important and that I should go for a 1.5” or maybe a 1.75” at most according to what I’ve read. Putting together setup in a smaller size like this, with a gauge and pump tends to quickly get rather pricey (for me at this point due to being out of work for most of the summer). So my question is besides worrying about getting a testicle sucked up *cringe*, would it be a bad idea to start out with a more modestly priced, easier to find prepackaged kit, which seem to almost universally come in 2.25” diameter? Will this, realistically, cause any harm or side effects if I’m careful?
Thanks in advance and I look forward to learning more, getting to know y’all better and sharing my journey.
