Calixto and bgstick18, could you recommend a good pump. About ten years back I ordered one from an adult products catalog, but it was pretty sucky ( in a bad way). Think it was around 15 bucks. Ya get what ya pay for I guess.
hahaha, yes many pumps out there are cheap, AND....they are sh*t. You should know that bgstick18 and I are actually close personal friends, and we hang out regularly, and have throughout college. He has traveled deep into Mexico with me, to the nude beach in fact!
And... like kids playing "house", Stick and I would play "The Real-PEGym" over at my house all last year. We both already had extenders, and I was just getting him into foreskin restoration devices too, but man, my OTHER roommate liked to pump and we never had, so there was even a while there when EACH of us would order a new pump EVERY WEEK, this went on for like a month.
Extending, Pumping, Tugging, DTR-ing, Hanging, stretching, Jelqing between pumping sets, it was MANIACAL!
It really was like A "REAL-PEGYM" over at my place for a year. Those were great times I will never forget. Extending during the initial cold months when this "moment in time" happened, then....
Naked in the back yard getting huge dongs AND getting sun on our nuts everyday. MAN THESE WERE SOME OF THE BEST TIMES EVER.
The "Real-PEGym" MANIA ensued:
But, with the pumping, we were all 3 looking for
THE BEST RESULTS!
Well, after getting these cheap pumps, then slowly paying more and more for a little bit higher quality we began to notice some things.
We realized that unless we would finally pony-up and pay real money for a good pump, we would continue to deal with the problems of these shitty ones, which would still cost $40-$60 a piece.
They all had one of two problems, if not BOTH problems:
1.A.) They would
FUCKING HURT!!! No matter how good the little rubber pad they came with was, which would normally break after a few days anyway.
1.B.) THEY WOULD
FUCKING HURT...because it would SUCK our balls up in the giant shitty cylinder!!!
2) They would
BREAK QUICKLY mostly the pump parts would break, or the pump parts were just
sh*t to begin with.
We went through several.
Another
3rd THING would also result with all these pumps, because they "didn't
fit us": We would have what we call "Light Bulb Dick" all the rest of the day due to A) Over-pumping with pressure since we didn't have a gauge on the cheap ones, and B) Over-Pumping in time duration since we didn't know that you are supposed to
GO ONLY FOR ABOUT 10-15 minutes at 5 or less mmHg pressure, THEN take it off, jelq or massage your dong for about 3-5 minutes and get an erection again, then put it back on. Go for 4-6 sessions.
Then Voila, no "Light Bulb Dick"! Man lightbulbdick SUCKS when you have to whip it out at a public urinal, looks all bulbous and WEIRD
FINALLY, one day, we found VACUTECH, and we have been "Right as Rain" ever since.
I say all this to say, that Stick will tell you the exact same thing, and I feel 100% justified in saying that he would.
Get a vacutech if you are serious about pumping. They have great customer service also, and will even spend time with you on the phone giving you all the basics (information we WISHED we had known in the beginning, like only pump EVERY OTHER DAY).
Hope that was clear and helpful, but man, you know having gone through the "cheap pumping" phase yourself, now all you need is to step up to the big leagues and get one of the vacutechs or quit the even thought of pumping.
I have heard that Dr. Kaplans is good too, and many here like their bathmate, but I cannot speak for those products. But if I were to do a product review (Actually I went on there and did one for vacutechs pumps on here I think!) it would be good for vacutech.
Mainly because:
1)you get your EXACT girth measurements and they send you the pumping cylinder that FITS you.
2) Comes with a pressure gauge
3) You can take the hose and pump portion off the cylinder and just have the cylinder on for your sessions when you get to the right pressure
4) They are really high quality, and come with a good warranty, I think.
