When to change tube size?

Can someone tell me when it’s a good time to go up in tube size?

Tonight when I would get erect and slide into the tube, about 2 inches of my midshaft was wider than the tube. No pain or anything. Inside the tube I am not touching on all sides, but the midshaft is maxed out.

Or should I keep this tube until the entire shaft touches the inside of the tube? I am assuming that since the midshaft is maxed it will force blood back toward the base and thus result in expansion in those parts.

I’d appreciate any guidance.

help ……… please :)

Marty,

If it’s length your going for then hold out until near end of tube. However if girth then probably OK to go with a larger diameter tube. This advice I think came from Avocet. Personally I am going for length and have taken time out from pumping in favour of hanging. Best of luck.

Marty,

You should move up in size when you’re packing the entire shaft from the base up to below the glans. You seem to be naturally wider at midshaft where you have your widest girth. If you want to work on fattening up the lower part of your shaft, you may want to consider wrapping your midshaft area tightly with something like ACE self-adhesive bandage or facsimile. This will allow the lower part of your shaft to expand more and try to catch up to the girth of your midshaft.

Thanks for the replies. I am not after length at this time. Mrs. 5 says length is fine for now. Going after girth. One question, though: If the midshaft is max out against the tube, then will the tube not serve a similar purpose as wrapping? Since the midshaft can expand no more, then want more pressure be forced back toward the base?

marty,

What will happen is that your maxed out midsection will prevent the lower part of the shaft from expanding under the vacuum, while most all of the vacuum pressure stresses are being placed on the upper section of your shaft and your glans.

So it’s best to move up to the next size once you’re able to completely pack? Are there no benefits, such as length gains, from continuing to pump with a cylinder that you almost immediately pack?

I just recently ordered a 1.75” cylinder and after only 4 days am packing the entire length of my shaft within about 5 minutes after entering. Before ordering I measured myself at right around 5”EG but that was what was recommended, so I don’t know if I should stick with it for awhile or order the next size up? If packing the cylinder is preferable for length gain I suppose I could stick with until I notice some length gains and then focus more on girth.

What do you’all think?

Njohn,

Since you just received your cylinder, you should get some more mileage out of it before purchasing the next 1/4 inch size up. If you’re packing so quickly, just be careful to keep the vacuum pressure moderate so as not to apply too much pressure to the glans area and cause a possible water blister.

I did the exact same thing. I packed the 1.75” tube fairly quickly. It was cool to look at but I went out and bought a 2” tube soon thereafter. I am at 5 3/8” EG and pack the 2” tube at my third set, with condom(s) on and using a heat wrap.

You could stick with it to help with length gains but as peforeal said, be careful about the water blisters.

Good luck

Now going on my fifth day with the 1.75” cylinder, I am beginning to notice that I am starting to get a slight
“donut effect” after I finish a second set of ten minutes. I have only been pumping at a pressure either at or slightly below 5hg, never above that, and am beginning to think that it might have to do with the immediate packing that I am experiencing.

The reason I say this is because the area just below my gland, maybe a circular area of about 1/3” in length, is the only part of my shaft that doesn’t press against the side of the cylinder. I am circumcised, so my shaft does taper as it reaches my head, and I’m thinking that this could be the reason that I am experiencing this effect. Has anyone else had this donut effect start to occur shortly after you begin to pack?

I would think that this would be a common effect of completely packing the tube for someone circumcised as this would be the last place on the shaft that would pack, and the area that, once completely packed, would be exposed to the most pressure as it tries to conform to that last bit of space within the cylinder. I’m thinking that moving up to the next size, such as a 2”, would stop this from happening again and would help distribute the pressure in the tube onto my entire shaft and prevent the packing from isolating this ring of the shaft. Any thoughts on this?

Does anyone have any advice as to what I should do for future pumping? I definitely don’t want this problem to get out of hand but don’t want to have to stop pumping before I even begin. Any suggestions?

Oh yeah, thanks for the feedback on my last post.

I’ve enjoyed three straight days of thorough pumping. I’ll tell you, when you have the time to put into practice the proven routines the results are awesome. This thread is partial proof of my success. There were times tonight when I would become erect and re-enter the cylinder and it felt like I was sticking it in a virgin. Tight! So I ordered the 2 inch cylinder today. I am after girth. Mrs. 5 says the length is plenty, more than plenty certain times of the month. She has never complained about my girth, but through experimenting with fingers I know the width would really please her even more.

During this workout I’ve spent two sessions pumping up to about 4hg with a heating pad wrapped around the cylinder. After a round or two I would pump up to 8 hg for about 30 seconds and then go back down to 2, then up to 5, then 6, then 8, and repeat over and over. When I finished tonight I measured 6 inches erect girth. That’s a record for me. Each of these three nights the expansion has increased. In fact, my girth outside the cylinder is actually larger than I am able to expand inside the cylinder. Hence, I ordered the larger cylinder today.

I can only imagine what width I will pump with the 2 inch cylinder. In the 1 3/4 cylinder my mid-shaft area is about to explode. I’m looking at my dick right now and there is absolutely little to no donut effect.

I’m dang excited about this routine along with the jelqing in between! :)

PEFOREAL,

I have a 1.75” tube and have used it for about three months. I fill the base without pumping and the rest almost immediately. My main goal is length, but with the tube packed all of the vacuum is focused on the head. Is it best to stick with the 1.75” or bump up to 2”, for a more even suction?

fastq,

It’s time to move on up in size to a 2” diameter. Good feeling, isn’t it, to know the progress you’ve made!

Peforeal

Thanks, PEFOREAL for the quick reply. Here’s another twist for you. I have a 3” for package pumping. Although I don’t do it that often, what would the advantage be of a 2” over increased usage of my 3”?

BTW - It feels great being able to move up!

fastq,

I personally prefer to pump my cock and ballsac separately, rather than use a 3” or larger cylinder to pump both cock/ballsac together (I do have a 3” cylinder which is hardly ever used). I can control the amount of direct length and girth expansion of my dick better this way. If you want to use your 3”, I would first suggest pumping your cock separately in the 2” and then doing the whole package later in the 3”.
