Vacuum Pumping 101

For psychological/motivation reasons, I only measure once every 4/5 weeks. In the past, when measuring once every two weeks or less, I would get discouraged. Basically, as my measuring day approaches, I push harder & harder so that I can reach my goal. I am 2 weeks from my measuring day, and I am trying my hardest to pull an additional 1/8” for this 5 week period.

Hello, I read the entire post and have begun pumping but I’m having some problems. As a pumping beginner I can get a max erection to go to 6.5 inches on a very good pump at 5Hg. Should you only pump with your max erection? Problem is I can get hard to the point of 6.25 inches then I put my penis in the pump and the erection just usually goes down to about 6 or less (even using a cock ring with a good seal and steady pressure). Currently I am pumping 2 10 mins sets a day at 5Hg. So I’m basically getting no expansion at all inside the pump and have been at it for about 4 days now. It seems like expansion in the tube would be necessary for growth out of the tube, is this true?Any help appreciated.

roxnow — check out this thread:

Soft when I exit pump

Some believe going in at less than max erection will produce better expansion and long term results. I believe the theory is explained in that thread.

Thanks for the quick response, I will check that out.

I don’t know anything about pumping but I have read something about it. I have a question: Would pumping before sex boost my girth? If it would, for how long, how much?

If you’re thinking about using pumping to get more girthfull and only on a sexual need basis, pumping probably won’t work for you. If you’re going to pump, do it regularly; building your non-pumped girth up gradually.

Unless you have ED, of course. Many guys use pumps only for at-the-moment sexual purposes; to get an erection.

Is some kind of lube must for pumping? How much lube should I buy then?

Yes lubrication it is a must. For two reasons

— lubing up your penis so that it slides easily in the cylinder as it expands
— lubing the opening/base of the cylinder so that you can get a good airtight seal between the base of your cylinder and pubic bone.

I recommend a water based lube like KY jelly or a generic version.

Thanks. I’m going to order from lapdist. Should I order their Penis Enlargement Stuff- lube?

Oh, I found the KY jelly from finland!

Sta-kool is exactly right. If you hope to expand in the tube during your session, you need lubricant so that as you expand, your penis can move within the cylinder rather than sticking to the side. You may be able to get away without lubricant at the base of the cylinder with a properly sized cylinder and some trimming, but lubrication within the cylinder is very useful, if not essential.

I have upward curve and when I pump, my glans touch the cylinder and it bends my shaft little down. So it’s like doing bend and pumping in same time. Do you think this would help straighten the curve?

It may. I would guess the effect would be minor compared to more active measures such as bends. I would guess that it would also depend, in part, on how large the tube is compared to your penis.

How do you feel about your curve? Some say that the upward curve is a positive thing for g-spot stimulation during intercourse in the missionary position .

I think that the curve is actually pretty cool. Would be just some easy length gains to make it straight.

My cylinder size is 9x2. My base packs it easily but not mid-shaft or head.

mister007 — from everything I have read, you will continue to pack more and more of the cylinder over time, Moving from the base up.

I have not packed my cylinder yet either. I have not pumped in a few months. but I was progressing like that. I had worked up to packing about the bottom up.
