What Purpose Lub in Pump?

I have a question about the purpose of and type of Lubrication during pumping?

What kind of Lubricant should be used? I am waiting on my VacuTech Pump to come which should be around Wednesday this week. I currently use Vaseline for Jelqing and that seems to work better than Baby Oil and less messy.

Why do I read you put lubricant on the glans along with the base tube seal area?

I want to be ready to use the pump when it comes in and have been reading as much as I can. I have been doing PE for about 6 weeks now and have only gained a little girth. Currently around 6 3/8” BPEL and 5 1/8” EG. My routine has been 10 min Hotwrap, 10 Min Stretching, and 20 to 30 minutes 3 second jelqs squeezing about as hard as I can at 60 75% erection.

I AM a little disappointed that I havn’t made more of a gain ( especially in length). I have been pretty diligent in PE and even though I know it takes some a while to see increases, it sure would be encouraging to see more.

I’m hoping pumping will help. If someone has a good starting routine, too for a beginning pumper with my current PE experience, I’d really appreciate it.

The purpose of lubricating the glans is to prevent chafing against the walls of the cylinder - “skin burn.” A good idea in fact to lube the entire length of the shaft as well.

There are many lube suggestions in the Main Member Forum. Search “lube” or “lubricants.” Some guys have even created their own formulas. I prefer a glycerine-based lube (like Astroglide) for pumping and most exercises, primarily because of ease of cleanup. Albolene (a skin cleanser) is excellent, though oil-based. Experiment some and you’ll settle on one that is just right for you.

Don’t be discouraged because you haven’t seen much gain yet. You’re still in the early stages. We’re all different but I got my best gains by alternating short pumping sessions - three or four of them at moderate pressure (6 - 8 min each) with jelking, about 100 strokes. I also did warm-up manual stretches, then variations on Uli’s once I got my cock conditioned to PE.

Keep us posted on your own experiments and progress. If you haven’t yet, enter your beginning stats in Size’s PE Data site. There’s a link at the bottom of most Thunder pages. He has included a nifty “volume” calculater in the software. This is an encouraging feature to watch as you progress as it calculates your total mass, not just length and girth.

Where is the best place to get Astroglide or Albolene?

Thanks

walgreens has them both around here… I’m pretty sure they are on their website as well if you prefer to purchase that way.

I see Astroglide in most drugstores now - go to the condom rack and look near it. Albolene is sold in large pharmacies like Wallgreens. Look in the skin/facial cream section. Although it is not so easy a clean up - non watersoluble - it does have the advantage of not “fogging” the tube so you can see clearly what’s occuring inside at any time. And, it’s a super lube for jerking off or for jelks.
