Got my first blister. It's a biggun!

[PumpingAus]

Been pumping for about a year and finally got my first blister tonight. I dropped my pump the other night and the pressure guage has only been working sporadically since. It was working and showing pressure readings tonight but it felt like a lot of pressure for what the guage was showing. In hindsight I think my guage is showing an artificially low pressure.

Was in the tube for 4x 20 minutes sessions. Was frustrated trying to pack the last bit of shaft below my head and pumped up to what I thought was 10hg to try and hurry it along. (Again, in hindsight a dumb idea)
I felt that tingly fluid moving sensation on the underside of my glands and was really hoping my shaft was filling up just beneath there.

But then it started hurting a minute later and I decided maybe it was time to end the session. Took it out of the heat mat and saw blood sloshing around inside the tube. Imagine my face when I pulled out of the tube and saw this monstrosity....

Ouch! I guess you're out of commission for a little while. I don't usually get blisters downstairs because I'm really careful but my nipples blister really easily. I have to constantly monitor and massage them to make sure no bubbles are forming. I've also basically given up pumping above 5hg. I might do it just to get "fully seated" in the tube if I'm doing full package 2 stage, but ever since I got my prince albert 8 years ago it's become the first thing to start bleeding if things go wrong. I do most of my pumping in large tubes around 3hg, sometimes even under 2 just barely registering on my pump

Yeah I'm going to take at least 2 weeks off to really let it heal up. Don't want to rush back in to pumping and blister in that same spot again.

It was all filled with blood when I woke up the day after, but I kept it moisturised with coconut oil so it wouldn't burst and it seems to have all been reabsorbed now. It's just a little blood-stained flap of loose skin, looks like it will probably slough off in the next day.

I felt very defeated when this first happened, worried I'd lose any gains I had worked towards lately in my 2", questioning my goals in pumping compared to when I started, looking at my bloated, bruised and blistered cock and wondering what the hell I'm doing any of this for.
But I've decided I won't let it get me down. I'll take a couple of weeks off, because I never would have otherwise. I'll let some of the discolouration in my cock fade, get a true idea of any unpumped gains I've made, a chance to do some manual stretching work, and take stock of my EQ because it was bad a year ago before i started pumping.

So it's been 2.5 days since it happened and the skin from the blister has started to come off. There appears to be a burst blood vessel or vein or something because there's a red sore in the blister that is weeping blood ever so slightly.

Guess my guage really isn't working. Almost blew my dick up

On an unrelated question, how does your meato react to the edema from pumping? Does it splay outward? Been thinking of doing small cuts myself for larger sounds.

I wish I hadn't got the blister. I'd be in the pump right now and snap you a picture!
My urethra still gets very tight and narrow from all the swollen tissue around it, but the outer few mm of the cut does splay open. So the slit itself is prominent but you can't see right inside the head like normal cause it's all engorged. It looks cool, I'll get a pic when I'm back in the tube in a few weeks.

The only thing holding me back is the possibility of unpredictable urination stream. I hate the thought of having to sit on a public toilet.

[PumpingAus]

Yeah that is definitely a thing. The only public toilets I ever really use in my area are always disgusting anyway, so I only worry about it getting on me
I sit on the toilet at home. But shine a blacklight torch on the walls near your toilet at home and you'll want to start sitting too. So many tiny droplets of piss get everywhere when you stand to piss even without a meato.

I have a PA and I just piss in jars and dump them
in public I just use the urinal and try not to get myself soaked

That reminds me, I had a PA as well, a good 10 years ago. It certainly was a bugger to pee with at a public urinal. I recall if I held it at the right angle it was reasonably predictable. Maybe I might be able to hold the meato cut together with an inner finger joint while aiming.

Yeah I had to basically twist it upside down so that the stream would go towards the toilet instead of my knees. Also thought about getting a princes wand but I don't really wear my pa anymore

I did my meato over about a year in 4 stages. Each new cut would create a different stream to previous, which would then change again as the cut healed and settled. So just when I had a grip technique worked out to stop the spraying, I would have to start all over again.

The final stage of my meato sprayed really bad in two different directions for the first couple of months, but as it healed it's settled into one decent vertical fan-shaped stream.
