Lack of circulation with 5hg pumping?

Hey guys, I’m pretty sure that I know what the issue is, but I want to know if this would be a good solution.

The problem… During air pumping at 5 HG I’m noticing a lack of blood circulation to my dick. The length of my set is only 10 minutes, so I don’t think there is any danger, but just the some… I don’t like it. I’m using a Leluv tube. Sized properly using the chart.

My thoughts on a possible solution… I’m thinking of using a silicone ring at the base of the tube. Just wondering if this would work before I make the purchase? Also, are their and other pointers or suggestions?

thanks

May help. When I first started pumping years ago I noticed similar. So part may be conditioning. I would reduce duration or cycle to 5HG then back down every 30 seconds to a minute to recirculate instead of spend money.

But how you see it lacks circulation?

Starts turning blue

Makes sense. I’ll give it a try. Thanks

How would a silicon ring fix poor circulation? A lot of people, including myself, pump while applying constant heat to the cylinder. I do one 25 minute session straight without cycling with a microwaveable heat pad on top of the cylinder. No loss of circulation, edema, or donut.

Are you sure that’s not just blood moving up closer to the dermis? I get some blue-ish hues after a long session in my Bathmate, but I don’t think it has much to do with a lack of circulation.

You are probably right.
It’s just me being overly cautious.

thanks

Had the exact same problem too. Mine will turn blue then black when it starts too hurt. After taking it off the pump, will notice whitish hue, it’s definitely lack of circulation. Releasing the pressure every 5 minutes help, however it cause fluid build up (donut effect) as soon as I pump again.

Try milking the tube, where you pull the tube away from your body and then push it back in. Do this frequently while you pump. Just don’t pull so hard as to break the vacuum seal. This causes about a 1”hg pressure fluctuation that is excellent for stimulating circulation. I do a lot of milking when I pump.

Also do kegels while pumping as another way to promote circulation.

:up:

OK, someone who can relate. Sorry to hear about the donut effect. I was having the same issue. Turns out that ramping up my intensity very slowly worked. I’m now at 1 X 15 minute set at 5HG and then 1 X 10 min at 4HG. This is pretty much max for now.

Nice technique. I’ll give it a try.

yeh that’s what I do feels really good as well like jacking off with the tube I do it to stay as hard as I can

+1 here, milking the tube works wonders when refreshing blood flow during a pump sesh
