When are you really packing the tube?

I can see only the front half of the tube of course.

The half at the backside not.

However I seem to hit the wall the tube for 65% of the length.

Is that called packing the tube, or should I hold a mirror to see if I also pack the other half of the tube?

Shouldn’t the penis expand at a uniform rate? I would assume this atleast. Is the Vacuum would place an equal force on the penis across the entire circumfrence.

Don’t quote me I have no idea on pumping

Could be.

It wasn’t clear to me in the mirror.

anon,

My definition of fully “packing” the tube is when your shaft girth fills the tube 360 degrees around (i.e. side to side and top to bottom) and from the base of your cock up to right below the glans. This is what I’ve strived for over the years, starting initially with my 1.75” diameter cylinder and working my way up a 1/4” at a time in larger cylinders. I think working towards fully packing gave me my good permanent girth gains.
A mirror for monitoring your packing results would be helpful.

kesman,

It just doesn’t necessarily happen like that because of the different shapes and genetics of guys’ dicks. Some expand crosswise quicker either horizontally or vertically.

Hey Peforeal,

I still have you progress report in my favorite’s.

What size tube do you use now?

I am also only pumping and doing dry jelqs

Thank you for clearing that up for me Peforeal :) , Much appreciated.

As far as packing goes, peforeal told you the story.

As far as seeing the underside? Just grab the cylinder and rotate it a bit. You should be able to rotate it enough to at least see enough of the bottom of your shaft to know if it’s packed. Either that, or flatten the cylinder up against your belly and look that way. You will find you have more flexibility moving the tube around then you think.

anon,

My main size for packing rapidly now is my 2.0” cylinder. It doesn’t take me long. The 1.75” is too narrow. This is still intriguing to me because when I started pumping years ago I used to have a lot of open space around my dick in the 1.75” and never thought my pumped girth would ever become permanent. I get my best stretched length in this 2.0” size once I’ve packed the tube.

Occasionally, I’ll switch off to my 2.25” or 2.50” cylinders if I want to get aggressive with expanding my pumped girth. I cinch off my ballsac, so that my balls don’t get sucked up into the tube. I prefer just pumping my cock only. I can fully pack the lower half of my dick in both of these sizes fairly easily where my regular shaft girth is much thicker. It’s amazing visually to see the large post-pumped results and it’s somewhat addictive at times. I can do this and still maintain a nice pleasing symmetry to my dick and not the exaggerated misshapen bloated look that sometimes happens to overaggressive pumpers. Can you tell that I’m still an avid fan of pumping after 5 years?

From my limited experience I can say that is good to differentiate between two ways of packing the tube: 1) With blood that fills all the vascular structures, arteries, veins, Corpora Cavernosa and Corpus Spongiosum; and 2) with lymphatic fluid between the Tunica and the Skin. The former is the desirable case, the latter conducts to undesirable problems like the dreaded donut and will negatively affect girth gains.

I’m uncut. I pack 100% (but the tip of the glans) of the 2” tube, BUT my foreskin fills with certain amount of fluid that prevents my glans from having full expansion. My goal is to pack with almost zero fluid build up.

My point is that it’s not enough to pack, but to pack in the correct way.

Hog7.5,

I absolutely agree. Pumping very erect goes a long way in packing correctly and getting the best results.

My old tube was 2x9 and I packed it so well that I had no where to go in any direction and the top of my penis began to hurt from hitting the air valve. It was pointless to continue using it so now I have a 2.25x11 and I pack it well horizontal in the mid shaft area but I don’t pack it yet in the glans area and have a long way to go before I hit that air valve again however I don’t want to be that big anyway. Its just maintenance work for me now or until my GF thinks she can handle more.

Quick question for the pumpers. I have been pumping without the inner rubber seal that goes around your base, so with just the cylinder. As long as I still get a good seal is this method just as effective?

Cheers

Usually the cylinders that require that rubber booty are very uncomfortable without it. Professional cylinders don’t require that rubber gasket, and you should think about upgrading.

Ok thanks gprent. Yep probably best to upgrade although this one doesnt cause too much discomfort. A gauge might be useful though!

So I assume then if the suction level is still good the rubber thing is just a matter of comfort then.
