Getting 100 out of your pumping.

So I just recently started pumping because I needed a change in routine. I think my dick was getting to conditioned. Anyways I noticed that when I have my dick pumped to the right pressure I can make the needle on the gauge go down by kegeling. What is happening is that you are adding more volume to the inside of the tube making the pressure go down. The opposite will happen if you try to pull your dick out while there is still pressure in the tube. So my theory is that even when the gauge says the pressure is where it should be, it doesn’t mean that the chambers in you dick are as full as they could be. So what I do is get the needle up to the proper pressure then kegel in as much blood as I can. While hold a strong kegel, pump the needle back up to the right pressure again. Keep doing this until the needle doesn’t move from kegeling. This way you know that your dick’s chambers are 100% full of blood for the entire time you’re pumping. Also do a kegel every few minutes to make sure that your dick is still full. When the needle is where it should be and I can’t kegel in anymore blood, I’ve noticed that when I try to get an erection I can’t feel any difference in my dick because there is no more room for expansion. I have also noticed that I don’t get as much of a donut effect after pumping because the kegels make the blood being pulled in from the pump go to the chambers and not the skin. Give it a try and let me know what you think and what your experiences are with it.

Good advice Otis! I’ll try it the next time I pump!

I 2nd that. But still no gains :( .

Great advice, What’s your setup?

My setup? I’m fairly new to pumping so I don’t know the lingo yet.

He’s asking what kind and size pumping equipment you have: what kind of pump; what brand, size (width, length) and style (straight, tapered, thickwall, flared base) of cylinder.

The tube is about 2 1/4 inches wide by 9 inches long. I don’t know if it’s thick or thin walled because I don’t have anything to compare it to but it made by a company called Colt. The tube is straight though. The pump has a gauge and it’s made of pretty sturdy metal. I also have another tube that is 3 1/4 by 9 inches. I have been using the thinner one recently but I’m starting to rip the rubber seal that wraps around your dick. I think I’m getting to thick for the seal and maybe the tube. I’m looking for more girth than length gains. I have tried using the bigger tube but the seal always starts to let air in at about 5Hg or so. I usually pump at around 6 or 7Hg. Do I have a good pump and tube? What should I do? Should I move up to the bigger tube and pump at a lower Hg level?

Is it possible that when you kegel, you’re breaking the seal and letting in a tiny bit of air?

No it does it even before I kegel.

I looked at the colt cylinders and they look decent enough. Considering that I’m using an aquarium tube, they look pretty good. Both tubes seem too big for your measurements. A 2 inches diameter would be right. The 3.25 diameter just seems worthless IMHO.

My tube is too small ( I need to get a real tube ), but I still think that I am benefiting from kegeling in the tube. It gives a fuller, better feel. Once I get a better tube, I’m going to add a cock ring to the mix and then I should be all set.

How big should the tube be then?

———————————> Selecting Your Cylinder Size <—————————————-

So what would using a wider cylinder do then?

The last part of the first post explains it:

HOWEVER — you are not at the “upper limit” on the chart range for your size if your largest girth is 5.75. Per the chart, 5.50 to 6.00” would need a 2” diameter cylinder.

I think you would be ok in the 2.25”. Smarter more experienced people than me may tell you different though.

If I were you, I would go get one of the 2 inch aquarium gravel tubes. You can get them at any pet store and maybe Walmart. It only costs a few bucks and you can compare it with your 2 1/4 tube and see what you like better.

A wider tube gives a different feel, larger tubes seem to help more with girth, and can cause extra skin or a ball (ouch) to enter the tube. You can pack a smaller tube easier, which I think is a good method. Pack a certain sized tube and then move onto a larger tube and pack that until you reach your goal.

By pack, I mean to fill the tube with your cock. The majority of your cock will touch the side of the tube. It will feel like the tube is with-straining your cock while you’re pumped.
