Pumping with HTW

ADS guys know what HTW (hair tie wrap) is. Look it up under search if you are interested. I just started to use HTW instead of lub when I pump. I don’t know much about sleeve pumping but possibly the HTW gives a little resistance to the vacuum if that is what is about.

After I put on the HTW I stretch out by hand as much as possible to cut down or eliminate any resistance to length, and the resistance to girth is minimal, if there is any. I am hoping this will eliminate the discoloration by having a covering over the skin.

I cut the toe off from an infant sock to go over the glans, so it is all covered except for about 1/4 inch left for a seal at the base.

Just not needing any lube seems to make this a good idea. The HTW glides along the inside of the tube without any resistance I am aware of. I am using a home made pad at the base of my LA tube while I wait for my LA pad to arrive, but the comfort is amazing compared to before.

That’s a neat idea.

I have been using a silicone sleeve to prevent edemas and donuts. Suspect the HTW may serve the same purpose at least with air pumping. Silicon Sleeve Pumping

I suppose you could use it with water pumping but you would have to dry it between uses if it can stand up to water.

Hey Fred, let me know how it goes for you. Your always doing interesting stuff.

I have only been pumping on a regular basis for the last few months, and just started the HTW today, so it will be awhile before I will see results if any, but not needing any lube makes the process much easier.

Any progress?

I have only been pumping for a few months, and I tried this HTW for about a month and then quit. I now just use a little aloe vera around the base for a seal, and a few drops of mineral oil on the tip for lube, and when I am done I use the concoction to jelq for 5 minutes.

I bought a pad from LA for my tube, and it threw off the marks on the side of the tube I use to measure my progress, but I would say in the tube I have gained about 1/4 inch in length at 5hg. I am mainly trying for flaccid gain at this point. Flaccid seems to be really hard to measure accurately. It can normally vary up to an inch throughout the day, and when I pump it varies even more.

My QE has improved with pumping. Prior to this I was hanging 2.6 pounds 4 to 6 hours a day, and I gained 1.25 inches plus some girth, but I never measured girth at the beginning. I seemed to lose some QE while I did the hanging, so it is nice to have it back.

Very interesting. I will give this a try whenever I get back to pumping.
