A seal definitely make a lot of difference. I made my own seal as below and the suction was better and the rim around the body was more comfortable than without.

Have clean tissue for wiping excess off fingers as you smooth. Use a bowl of water to keep finger wet, and at the end to make a flat surface to top by putting jar into bowl.
thanks for the advice,pumpers grabbed a smaller jar opening and have been practicing been getting bigger now.going to open a new pumping estim forum soon

that's a splurge alright. I would like a tube specifically made for pumping but cant justify paying 200+ for a BM etc. I mean I just payed 40 for a seal lol.

I don't think you mentioned liquid intake. To me, that's probably the foundation of the bloating look you're talking about. Some people drink warm water. I like carbonated drinks like club soda. As far as buying a seal goes, I have seen some good pics where guys have used seals, but I've had great results without a seal.

no clue, I been drinking a gallon of H20 before pumps with this seal but I still don't see the hydrating such a big deal its just like luck of the draw depending how big you get for a certain pump session. but maybe ill try soda never done that one yet. did tanukis method with drinking warm water and some shots of alcohol every now and then but for me the best thing yet has been the seal. I don't like the digging feeling its really a pain in the ass after 3 hour sessions without a seal.
question tho I do drink coffee almost every morning, not in the afternoon tho, do you believe that takes a lot of water out of the body before pumping?
Sounds like you're drinking enough liquid. It's definitely what fills up the scrotum. I also do warm water and shots of liquor. Probably too many. This'd be why I don't have a lot of pics of my so-called pumping journey. I'm pretty well done in by the end. Your pics with and without a seal look pretty good. I'm in my sixties with no one to please but myself, so I usually pump to the extreme once I get going. It's not something I recommend to others. Love my jar, but somewhat scared of not getting out of it after a long session. Thinking about a monstertube. Anyway, keep up the good work!
