What time of day do you pump, etc?

I have been using the extender and never the pump lately, because the pump requires me to keep the hair shaved and use lube and then shower afterwards to remove the lube. I used to do this in the morning before work, but that doesn’t seem practical anymore.

I wondered how the rest of you fit the pumping into your life - e.g. what time of day, do you shower afterwards, etc.?

Whenever possible. Early, late, mid-day. When you can get it……get it in.

I guess that is the approach I need to take. There never seems to be an ideal time lately, so I maybe do it once a month or less. At this rate it will take me 100 years to gain 1/8 inch.

I use a mix of shea butter and hyaluronic acid as a lube. I just wipe it off when I’m done; it absorbs completely into the skin in a few hours.

I pump several/many times per day, using an electric pump and a timer. I’ve used both breast pumps and a converted aquatium pump. Hand pumps are tedious.

Hmmmm, I will look into that type of lube. I have been using Astroglide, and it seems difficult to wash-off without a full shower even though it is water soluble.

When you say "several/many times per day" I assume you mean you only pump once per day but at various times each day?

I pump three to five times a day, generally. I’m mostly retired and my wife supports what I do, so there aren’t any restrictions to my activity.

Wow, I was certain I was probably misunderstanding what you wrote.

I had the impression that once a day for about 30 minutes and maybe with a few days off each week was the recommended amount? Does multiple times each day give more growth?

A lot of men seem to think a few minutes a couple of times a week is fine. Whatever works for them, I guess.

I started pumping for rehabilitation and scar reduction after a staph infection. It took about a year. Then I moved to pumping for enlargement. I’ve mixed in various other PE techniques, but I’m primarily a pumper, and I have made excellent gains. I don’t think it’s really all that related to the PE work I do; it appears I’m an ‘easy gainer’.

Shea butter is a common skin-care product. I use the "raw" stuff with no additives. Hyaluronic acid is a high-end skin-care product that’s supposed to prevent wrinkles; it is sometimes injected into lips or the penis to plump them up, and sometimes into knee joints as a lubricant.

I used to mix various other things into them when I was working on the scars; now that those are gone, I just use the acid and butter. They’re both supposed to make the skin soft and stretchy. I credit it with being able to make significant gains without developing stretch marks.

On a scale of 1 to 5, it’s about a 4 as a lubricant. It doesn’t stain underwear or bedding, is absorbed by the skin in a few hours, doesn’t dry out in long pumping sessions, and any excess left over after PE work wipes off with a paper towel.

I have not been happy with any of the water-based lubricants, and note that most "silicone" lubes are water-based now. Real silicone lubes cost a *lot* more, and some of them aren’t friendly to sheets or underwear.

Plain old mineral oil will work reasonably well as a pumping lube. It’s cheap, odorless, non-staining, and you can wipe most, but not all of it from your skin. I don’t care for the slightly slimy feel if I don’t wash afterward, but it might not bother you. If you decide to try mineral oil, look in the "laxative" aisle; that’s the plain stuff without additives. In my area, all the mineral oil in the "baby care" and "skin care" sections is contaminated with "fragrance"; some kind of chemical that smells like a goat’s asshole.

When I was actively pumping, I pumped 20 minutes in the am and 20 minutes in the pm while using the bathroom. I did this 6 days a week at 5 hg. I also pumped for 45 minutes while in bed at night at 4 hg.

I use Equate (Walmart) coco butter location for lubrication.

I’m going to give the shea butter a try. The hyaluronic acid is pricey as you said. I might buy some for my mother, because she complains about the wrinkles.

Cocoa butter sounds interesting if it smells like chocolate. I don’t like fragrances, but chocolate sounds o.k.

If I can figure out a good lube that doesn’t require me to shower afterwards then it would be a lot more practical to pump.

Raw cocoa butter is mostly a solid at room temperature. You have to be careful about "cocoa butter" creams and lotions; not only may they have only a small percentage of cocoa butter, most of the additives are likely to be in the phytoestrogen family, as the products are normally aimed at women.

I use aquagel lube. It’s very water soluble. Three or four passes over your penis with wet hands and it’s gone and down the sink.

Busy life= whenever the opportunity arises.
Mostly evening after work.
