Making a pump?

That would seem correct, my tubes short, and I’m not going for length, so its fine, sometime soon I’m going to add in hanging every other workout or something if my length goes down too much.

Eeek, well I just got myself one of them MityVac pumps from Sears and now I’m on the search for a cylinder. Anyone have any suggestions of something I could find in the house that’d work? Those paintball pods look absolutely perfect though and with the tubing… nice. The next place I could get one though is an hours drive away and I don’t want to order off the internet right now. Guess I’m stuck.

If anyone has any other alternatives to the gravel vacs and PB pods please let me know…

Paint ball tubes can be found at big retail stores ( Major chain stores with grocery clothes automotive stuff)

Don’t want to say names not sure if you can

Oh of course, you’re right. Wal-Mart has a paintball section. I’m thinking of using 1/2” ID 3/4” OD soft walled plastic tubing as a seal, it’s very soft and creates a perfect seal. The brand is called primoflex I believe and it costs about 99 cents a foot. Well worth it if you’re making your own cylinder.

I have seen several requests for pictures of Home made penis pump devices. This is mine I like it cus it is simple and is something else. No awkward questions from others. It’s a fish tank siphon cleaner. Got it a wal-mart. The only thing I did to it was epoxy the cylinder to the cap for a better air seal. It’s quite optional if you don’t mind a slow leak. My problem with all homed devices has been they cut into the skin at the base of the penis. My solution for this is to cut 2, 1 1/2 inch lengths of bicycle inertube and put them over the end. Put any seems or raised writing in the tubing on the inside so they don’t touch your penis. The tubing vastly improves the seal reducing the need to shave and the double thickness cushion the base surprisingly well. As for a pump I have never seen any need for anything but sucking with my mouth. Once I have the pressure I want I either clamp of the tubing by doubling it up in my hand, in my teeth and tongue or with vice grips with rubber bands over the handles to keep it closed.

Hi Moorth,

I agree, sucking seems fine to me too. But I strongly advise you to take a look at my earlier posts in this thread regarding a non-return valve. I’ve used the valve from a bicycle tube but fitted it backwards in the suction tube in the fully open position so it acts as a non-return valve. It’s the valve from a road bike not mountain bike though. Can’t remember if it’s a Schreader or Presta. Can’t remember which is which!

Try it, you won’t be disappointed.

I tried going without a pump and only used my mouth, but I hated it. I find it way better “for me” with a pump and gauge.

Why exactly? Assume others are reading this and trying to decide of buying a pump is worth it. Sell us a pump.

Not real expensive, if you make one your self, easier to pump up, safer by monitoring the gauge, you can monitor your vaccuum level better so that you maintain a certain level. If you notice, when you first put the pump on and bring it to your desired pressure, at first, it doesnt feel like much, than after about 5 or 10 minutes, you penis feels a LOT more pumped, even though you havent changed your pressure “which you can varify with the gauge”

I agree with drew, I’d be worried about not having something tell me what level I’m at, its worth it IMO.

If I use my mouth to vacuum the pump what pressure can I expect to get ,I am thinking of getting a gauge to make sure I don’t go over the 5hg limit to start with but if I can’t suck 5hg there is no point (will my tongue get bigger to :) )

I have heard people complain that they have difficulty in sucking. I think they are trying to do it with their lungs. Or they are trying to hold the suction in between bite down on the tube and stick your tongue in it or clamp it off. If you do it properly with your tongue and cheeks then you can easily and quickly get to painfully low pressures. In short you should have no problem going as low as you want to.

If you bite down on the opening of the tube so it reduces the area of your tongue that is exposed and reposition the tongue often it will be unaffected by the pressure because no part has been exposed long enough.

As far as a pressure gauge is concerned I do agree that it would be a good idea to have one. However, I think pumping can be safely tried without it. I would never have tried it if I couldn’t get into it cheaply and simply. I eventually was willing to spend significant amounts of money on it but only after I had gotten positive results. Getting my own gauge would have been to prohibitive at first and I would never have tried it. That would just have been sad.

So! Safe pumping without a gauge:

1. Use plenty of lube. My experience is that blisters are caused more by friction then low pressure.
2. It should never ever hurt! Pain is your body telling you it is being damaged.
3. Pressures that are fine at first are can begin to hurt over time. When this happens Back off!
4. If you can’t back off far enough take a break.

I posted a pic of this in the Pumper 101 forum but I thought somebody might be interested here. I use it with a hand pump with a gauge. Made it out of 1.75 ID tube from plastic store. Works great.

I’ve never used lube while pumping.
