Is an elliptical cylinder really worth it?

Hi everyone!
In the never ending quest to pack a 1.75”inch diameter cylinder to have that 5.5”inch girth I’d really like, I’m finding that the width of my cock is a bit too much for this tube. I just don’t think my penis can get pushed and stretched, bloated and forced into such a perfectly round shape. I mean it feels totally awesome at the end of my routine, it almost doesn’t feel like it’s my penis anymore!! But I think I’d have a better time with an elliptical shaped cylinder. They are a bit pricey though, and before I spend the money I’d love opinions on these kinds of cylinders.

Do users of elliptical cylinders find them better than traditional cylinders? If so, how and why?
Do elliptical cylinders prohibit or encourage growth?
Once you start using an elliptical cylinder, do you find yourself going back to a round one? Or have you abandoned the round cylinders altogether?

Thanks for your thoughts!

The only thing elliptical cylinders do is provide a better fit for cocks with more of that shape. Your cock can’t tell what shape cylinder it is in and the shape of the cylinder does not affect the internal vacuum pressure. The pressure is constant everywhere inside the cylinder, so the forces act equally no matter the shape of the cylinder.

Cylinder size is important so that you have room to expand, but not so large that your testicles tend to get sucked in. Unless of course you are doing full package pumping. :)

You could try switching to an elliptical, or just move up to a 2” tube.

If you search the pumping forum for threads titled elliptical you’ll find quite a lot of info.

I have a Vacutech elliptical. I can’t say it’s any better or worse than a round one. I just thought it was cool so I got one.

Is there such a thing as a curved cylinder that follows the curve of the penis? I often wonder why we stick a curved thing into a straight thing, other than the difficulties of fabricating a tube like that.

I’d think a rounded triangle would be the best shape, if you’re going to the trouble to shape a tube…

My 1.75” elliptical cylinder from LA Pump District is slightly larger than my 2” round cylinder. I believe The Vacutech 1.75” elliptical cylinder has a wider “wide diameter” than LAP so would be even bigger than LAP.

I have an elliptical shaped dick and use round and elliptical cylinders interchangeably without feeling much of a difference.

Really appreciate the first-hand info on this stuff, helps me greatly!
