I mean, what's not to love?
Also, how was your maximum size? Did you reach 27 or 28?

Re: Dextrose 10%, why less is more
I thought about this thread recently. A friend talked me into trying dex. So I tried a liter of saline/d5 (9 parts to 1) mix yesterday. Holy cow what a difference even a little bit of d5 makes. It just kept swelling. Eventually it was clear there was much more than just a liter inside.

26-1/2” but I’m not complaining.mRuss wrote: Wed Oct 08, 2025 9:54 pm I mean, what's not to love?![]()

All gains are intoxicating to me!
In pumping, getting past plateaus usually means maxing out many times until one time there’s a breakthrough.
Hopefully it won’t just be 1/2” I need to surpass 29-1/2”!

It’s incredible feeling it expand faster than the best pump session where you can’t even put your hands on it!themanwiththeplan wrote: Mon Nov 17, 2025 10:53 pm I thought about this thread recently.

Re: Dextrose 10%, why less is more
Oh I hear you, man. I did a d10 infusion last week (my usual 2-day approach) and when i REALLY hit the wall and things got SO TIGHT and i could feel everything stretching I was just losing my mind. I've got to upload some screenshots of that timelapse video I took.pipefitterdom wrote: Mon Nov 24, 2025 3:55 am

30" isn't too far away. (oh no now I have a Warrant song from the 1980's stuck in my head)

Honestly it was a bit too much expansion for the try, one side of my shaft thinned out so much before it migrated down a dime sized spot leaked and formed a scab. I always enter the same spot of my shaft for fluids/gases so I might need to figure a way to prevent the shaft from expanding too much and force d5 to migrate down. Fun challenges for me.pipefitterdom wrote: Mon Nov 24, 2025 3:57 am It’s incredible feeling it expand faster than the best pump session where you can’t even put your hands on it!

I still had to look up that reference.
Heaven is around 20” for me and everything above that is just icing on the cake!

I have several points of infusion and rotate them.

the spot I use is able to seal itself and heals fast so I use it every time for the convenience

Just went from 18” to 24” initially with 1,300ml D10.
Almost 28” now and hopefully beyond 30” before 2026!

Wow, Pipefitter, your balls are gargantuan. Thank you for posting and inspiring the rest of us to pump and infuse. My max was 23". I cannot imaging
what 28" feels like - but I gaze upon your awesome size and try.
