WATER PUMPING > Air Pumping

Something to add to the thread: you can also keep the tube warm (without risking electrocution) by using a microwavable heating pad. It works for water pumping, and I use one for air pumping and condom pumping as well.

I understand the complicating factor of explaining condoms if you don’t have them in the house otherwise or if you don’t have some good explanation. Of course, if you’re concealing pumping gear, it doesn’t take much more to conceal the condoms as well, and if you’re open with the pumping gear, I would think the condoms would be as explainable.

Of course, for condom pumping, you don’t need to buy the larger or more expensive condoms. Cheap standard condoms are just fine and can be used for multiple sessions.

Lamp, water is just so easy with this method.

I’m sorry, I’ve totally missed it for some reason! Ok, so suck it out with my mouth, it makes almost perfect sense, except ewe! ;-P

I have had my pump with gauge for more than 2 years now and I have pumped with water before as I used to do most of my pumping in the tub. My gauge never seemed to malfunction as the pressure it indicated with water or air felt pretty much the same. The only difference is that with water when I press the lever to increase the pressure the gauge would spike as I pressed but return to a proper value when I let go of the lever.

As well, since my pump still works like a charm I am assuming that it hasn’t rusted or anything of the sort and I have completely submerged it in the tub complete with gauge and all many times. Maybe I just use a higher quality pump?

Mine is a complete brake bleeder kit, so when I don’t attach that bottle that attaches to it, it sprays water all over the place. I’m just saying… I haven’t had any problems using water with my pump and gauge and the pressure reading feels accurate…

OK, if you’re sensitive…shower first, THEN suck the water out! :)

Nice! However, you use your pump at your own risk. I got water in mine once and I had to dissemble it and relube it to get it to work right.

Shoot that would suck. I guess I’m lucky. I don’t pump with water often, so I have no idea what the long term effects would be on my pump with regular water pumping.

If you use the method described here…you don’t have to find out.

It is.

Any my Bathmate makes it really easy.

What method have you used for determining vacuum levels with your Bathmate? What kind of results have you had with that approach?

My “re-entry” into water pumping was because of some of the Bathmate threads. The LUV method was a result of trying to come up with a method that gave me better results than just maxing the vacuum levels…which I did at first with poor results.

I’ve been water pumping almost since the beginning. Wouldn’t think of pumping any other way.

I didn’t bother reading the entire thread but here’s some my pointers from experience.

1st you don’t need to be taking a bath unless you want.
If you want warm water the just fill the tube with warm water.
I find that COLD water works much much better. The pump effect last much longer. The cold water also seems to prevent or at least severely diminish any red spotting or discoloration of the penis or dark marks/areas. ALL signs that you’re pumping at too high of a vac. IMO.

I’m a white guy and my dick comes out of the tube a nice natural rosy pink color after pumping. If I used warm water it would be a different story. There was an old thread around here that asked; to you put heat or ice on swelling when your injured? So I tried it. Nothing but cold water for me. You get use to it quick.

Stop whining about ruining your gage with water. While I’m at it, anybody pumping without a gage is an idiot in my opinion. Your begging for dick damage. Go to your local auto parts store and buy a minivac for about $30 US.
It’s water proof. It’s designed for use with liquids - primarily brake fluid. It’s got a reservoir to collect excess fluid, a vent to expel excess fluid on the pump, and the whole pump disassemble for cleaning. It also has a release lever.

Thanks Root!

Yes man! I will give it a try! Thank you

Thanks very much for this thread.

I abandoned regular air pumping for several of the reasons already mentioned here; it`s time consuming having to clean the pump after every use, messy lube makes multitasking hard, etc.

I tried waterpumping just for a brief set yesterday and I really like it.

My 1 3/4” cylinder felt much tighter than normal. Perhaps I`ll have to move on to my 2” cylinder.

Kind regards,

Renholder

I want to reiterate for those that wish to try water pumping, watch the vacuum levels!

Higher vacuum doesn’t really feel very high at all with water, and if you aren’t either using LUV or a gauge, you can easily use a higher vacuum than you intend. OR you may decide to use a higher vacuum because it feels fine.

Over and over, I believe, when guys don’t get a good result it is from using too high of a vacuum level. So, for those of you that want to give this a go, try the LUV method for a couple weeks and see how you like it.

Remember, if you are going to use the LUV method, you should measure your bpel FROM THE TOP of your penis, at the pubic bone. If you measure from the side, it will change your bpel. When pumping, your cylinder is stopped by the pubic bone, so the length you see in the tube under vacuum is fundamentally a bpel measured from the pubic bone. Measuring from the side of the penis could increase your bpel by up to 1/2 and completely throw off your LUV.

So I find and LV found it a good starting point for him also, if you wish to primarily go for girth expansion, your LUV should be about 1/2 inch LESS than your bpel.

For those that wish to increase length, start at 1/4 inch LESS than bpel.

So far I find that a set of 30 minutes seems to be about ballpark for girth gains. Avoid edema, so that means if you need to adjust your set times OR your LUV, then do so to avoid edema.

These recommended LUV are just approximations for a starting point, adjust it as needed.

Further, do read LV thread on OLF/OLR for a stratagy for applying this approach. For a simple approach, you could try 5 days on, and 2 off. Every 4-6 weeks take a week off completely.

As always, cookbook approaches decrease your chances of success, so learn to read your PIs and EQ to increase your chances of gains. Always keep records of what yo are doing, your responses to it and gains or losses in response to what you are doing. These greatly increase your chances of success.
