How To Avoid The Donut Effect When Pumping?

I own a Bathmate, and everytime I use I get the donut effect.

How to prevent this? It always subsides after a few hours, but it is very inconvenient.

There are options.

Don’t go over 5hg of vacuum. Unfortunately not measurable with bathmate.

Start with 10 to 15 minute sets, again control the vacuum.

You can also experiment with using a wrap immediately under the glans.

I typically don’t pump longer than 20 minutes per set and keep my vacuum at 5hg or less, with occasional spikes. I haven’t gotten a significant donut for quite some time now.

Others will provide their recommendations.

This ⬆️!

It’s too much time and or pressure.

Hey SRDXXX, Try a silcone sleeve. You can get them cheap on ebay

I agree with the 5hg/20 minute max rule of thumb. Without a vacuum gauge, you should pump up until you feel slight discomfort and then back off slightly

That’s a big donut…

I have been staying under -5 and doing 15 -20 min, no donut from pumping, but I am finding I get a bit of edema in the foreskin with the cock ring after…

Nothing like this of course, because I will just stop when I notice it starting.

Just like everyone is stating you can try a sleeve, you can also massage it away and it helps as another p.e method.
