Another which pump thread

I know these are asked over and over, but I have a bit of a twist to add. I tried pumping 20+ years ago. I didn’t know what I was doing and probably used too much pressure. Now, I start to get a doughnut (especially on the right side) even with a little clamping. Now, I want to try pumping again but want to limit the doughnut thing as I think it’s really unattractive.

I’m trying to decide between the wide mouth and the regular cylinder from the LA pump folks. Do you think that one would limit the doughnut appearance more than the other? In addition, I’m primarily interested in girth though of course I wouldn’t be upset to hit 8 inches in length.

Regardless of the equipment, I plan to follow Avocet’s advice and pump at low levels for short periods of time.

I hope this makes sense. Thanks.

Just evaluate the cross section shape of you cock and go from there. If you are more round, go for the round cylinder and if more elliptical, go for the wide mouth. The shape of the cylinder itself, will not influence whether or not you get a donut. The donut is a function of too much pressure and time.

So my girth is right at 5.5 inches (I need to update my sig). It’s just shy of 1.75 inches across and just over 1.5 inches from top to bottom, so I guess that’s round enough.

So since girth is what I really want to target, I should go with a 2 inch round tube, right?

A 9”X2” round tube sounds perfect.

Order placed. Thanks

Sorry to respond too late, but I disagree. The wide mouth is 1/4” longer across than up and down so I would have recommended a wide mouth. The 2” wide mouth is 2.25” across and 2” up and down. The 1.75” wide mouth is 2” across and 1.75” up and down. However, it really is not going to make a big difference. Perhaps when you start packing the 2” round you should replace it with the 2” wide mouth.

I am sure you will be happy with the 2” round. I also had a doughnut problem, but since I started keeping the vacuum below 5 hg it has magically disappeared.
