What pressure is best?

Post by frypup »

Hello,

I am confused now.

Prelude99 says to pump at a pressure of 10-12 HG after a few months, others say 4-5 HG.

Now not sure what pressures to pump at to get results.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Frypup

This is the guide from Thickwall Cylinders


Penis Vacuum Pumping Guide

Looking for advice on penis vacuum pumping? This guide is designed to give you advice and information on safe cock pumping. The information also applies to clitoral, nipple and rosebud pumping.
Getting Started

Connect your cylinder to a vacuum pump using the push-fit mechanism. We strongly recommend only using a pump with a pressure gauge and trigger vacuum release. Sit securely, in a safe and secure, private place. Using a water based lubricant, lubricate the area to be pumped. This will also help keep a seal. J-Lube works well and will not rot rubber based products. Start pumping slowly; there should be a gentle tugging feeling. If there is any pain or discomfort, you should reduce the vacuum and STOP if it continues. Release the vacuum often, especially for first time usage. Little and often is the key. To release the vacuum, use the release on the pump. Removal of the vacuum fitting is not recommended or necessary to release the vacuum. DO NOT exceed a static vacuum greater than 6 inch Hg / 15cm Hg / 0.2 bar. A vacuum up to 10 inch ( 25 cm) Hg is acceptable only where the vacuum is continuously cycled slowly between 10 inch and 4 inch.
Precautions

Apply only the minimum amount of vacuum necessary to achieve an erection; excessive vacuum pressure may bruise or injure the penis. The circulatory system and body tissue can easily be traumatised by exceeding the vacuum levels mentioned above either momentarily, or exceeding a lower level for appreciable periods. This may happen even with breaks and massage. Repeated damage can result in permanent erectile dysfunction and tissue fibrosis. Use of a vacuum pump may aggravate existing conditions such as Peyronie’s disease (the formation of hardened tissue in the penis that causes pain, curvature, and distortion, usually during erection); Priapism (persistent, usually painful erection of the penis as a consequence of disease and not related to sexual arousal); and urethral strictures (urethral stricture is an area of hardened tissue, which narrows the urethra sometimes making it difficult to urinate.
Warnings

If there is any pain or discomfort, you should reduce the vacuum. and STOP if it continues.
If flesh goes purple or blue, cold and numb, STOP immediately and massage. You have been pumping too long or at too high a vacuum. Do not restart until circulation has been fully restored
DO NOT use with a cock ring or other device designed to constrict blood flow to the penis and scrotum.
Use only water-based lubricants. DO NOT use petroleum based lubricants such as Vaseline which seal the skin. Pumping with such lubricants may cause blisters of lymphatic fluid or air from body tissue which will take time to heal, re-occur more easily and with greater frequency, and may become infected.
DO NOT use whilst driving.
DO NOT use under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as this may impair your judgment and increase the risk of injury to the penis.
Using cylinders in warm water can be a great help and add to the fun at bath time, but DO NOT use an electrically powered vacuum pump in or near water.
DO NOT use if you have sickle cell disease, diabetes, a history of prolonged erections, or are taking large quantities of aspirin or other blood thinners. These conditions increase the risk of bruising and haematoma.
Misuse of the vacuum pump could injure the penis
Discontinue use and consult a doctor if any complications occur.
As with all sex toys, cylinders should not be shared for reasons of safer sex.

For years I used 15hgs, but due to the dreaded blister I've dropped down to 5-8hgs. Same results just safer.

I agree with Steve. 5-8hg works the core more for me and there is less fluid bloating.

I tried 7.5 HG today and it is very strong. It causes pain at the base where the cylinder meets the body.

Does anyone else get pain at the base when moving to higher pressures?

If so, how does one get around this issue?

How long have you been pumping? What is your current pump routine? If you are fairly new to Prelude's methods may be way too strenuous if you are not well conditioned. Try not rush into those heavy suctions to avoid injuries.

Been pumping for almost a year now. Pump about 3x a week for 3 sets at 5 HG
