Especially now when my schedule will very much limit the amount of work that can be done. I’ll do what I can when I can to maintain some conditioning. And only going to do the pump here as I think the stretching campaign was well long enough and it would be good to give those fibers a good long period of deconditioning, especially if we’re going to do one last campaign, I want a full 240 days with no stretching what so ever, beyond what the pump provides.
I like your thinking here. It’s more methodical, as is my approach.
The petechiae under the skin is pretty normal with larger than natural girth pumping. Ultimately, it lends itself to discoloration in the form of iron that gets trapped or left behind. The only way I’ve found to alleviate it once discolored is: time for the skin to rotate without the causation, or exercise that forces liquid exchange in the outer layers i.e. advanced manual girth exercise.
Repeated drops in vacuum aid in ITL as the stretched skin can relax, find equilibrium at the entry as vacuum drops, and stretch or slip beyond it once again applied. If you lubed heavily from the get go, you may well find you’re there quite a bit earlier. That’s the punch of length pumping. All the tissue and skin that would otherwise be getting fat, girthwise, is being pulled out. It takes time, lube (natural or artificial), heat, and skin stretch to get them “in the tube” so much that they actually move away. Resulting in longer lengths in the tube.
I combat that resistance and encourage that movement by over lubing my base and the sleeve, if I’m using one; only lightly lubing my shaft. For my shaft, unless my tube is clean, the leftovers from last session are plenty. Nothing sloppy, a little is enough. I do keep lube away from my sac, as much as I lube the base. From one clean session to the next, a quick swipe of lube on the tube entry sleeve alone, is almost always plenty. Might be important to note: I have zero-entry sleeves, meaning my flange sleeve is larger than the tube and won’t “wipe” as I enter. An 8oz tub of lube lasts me months. Very little is needed.
If the conditions are right, a properly sized or packed tube can absolutely offer stretch. More than you think. If you’re packed in a 2” tube leaving only the glans to pull on, convert your inhg to psi for the surface area and be amazed. Most wouldn’t dare hang that much.
I’m looking forward to December, I wanna know how things have been and how you get on! Stay safe.
