Interesting observation on girth gains

Ok this is what I’ve found after about 18 months of pumping, mostly water pumping.
Length gains 1/2 inch which i put down to several factors my guess being lig stretch, increased eq and weight loss, I never really wanted length but oh well.
Now the more interesting bit, I have gained about an inch of girth BUT ! only at the base, only in the CS and most odd only in the first few inches were i pack the tube ?
It looks kind of like an extra layer grafted on the underside from the base and ends exactly at the point were packing stops, it started at about an inch into the tube an over time has crept up the shaft.
I’m struggling to understand this, you would think were the shaft has plenty of room to expand in the tube ( and indeed does ) you would get more growth but the opposite seems to be the case here.

I have read the thread on strain ellipses pertaining to clamping but I’m not sure if that’s whats happening here ? if anyone has any ideas I’d like to hear them.
I’ve also come to the conclusion that the pressure i can safely pump at doesn’t seem to be enough to gain in the CCs at all so if anyone has any good exercises for target them I’d appreciate it.

I’ve been researching the best way to pump for girth. The best I’ve found is long sessions at low pressure. Good luck.

Thanks man, that’s pretty much what i was doing, tried between 45mins and 1 1/2 hours for a good long time with no permanent gain but some tremendous temporary ones.

I think I’m one of those that needs much higher forces to gain and pumping at high pressure wrecks my skin so I’m trying out some clamping instead.

Pumping is great fun but I’ve only got so much time to devote to PE.

Good luck. Clamping just doesn’t feel right to me. Hard to explain why.

I have yet to have any permanent gains from pumping, but it’s still new. I’m being patient.

I started out saying I’d give pumping 6 months, then it was a year then suddenly I’d done 18months ! long enough to say I gave it a good go.

I got some gains but none of the girth I was after so time to try something else.

I had tried clamping in the past and wasn’t keen but this time round I’m enjoying it.

Pumping works it just seems to work differently for different people.
