Ordering size for a cylinder

[bIgjOe]

I have a question. I went on the vacutech website and it said to measure your penile circumference in order to customize the size of your tube.
My question is do I put down my exact girth, or do I put down slightly bigger so there is room to grow? I've never pumped before so I am very curious, and decided to give this a try.
Also does it matter how long of a tube you get? I've heard you guys saying that a tube too wide will suck your balls up, but is there a problem with one too long? Keep in mind my main focus is girth as I only work length nowadays to seesome kind of gainage, will a longer tube take away from the pressure put on the girth? They say the standard is 2 x 9. I'm thinking this might be too wide but the length is ok. Anyway my stats are in my sig. and i appreciate your responses.

Baraka's Pump Cylinder Size Guide:


4.00-4.5" (1.25" diameter)..................1.50" diameter tube
4.50-5.25" (1.5" diameter)....................1.75" diameter tube
5.25-5.75" (1.75" diameter)...................2.00" diameter tube
5.75-6.50" (2" diameter).......................2.25" diameter tube
6.51"+ (2.25"+ diameter)......................2.50" diameter tube

The cylinder length should be a bare minimum of 8". 9" is probably perfect, considering most guys' goals on these boards. 10" isn't bad either, but you'll have to pump more to create the same level of pressure. That creates more work for you, so don't do it if you don't have to. A tube length of 8" or 9" will do just fine for the vast majority of guys out there.

Of course, it's not nearly that simple. These measurements mostly assume that penis girth is a constant throughout the entire length of the shaft. The only problem is, some guys have baseball bats and other guys have pyramids.

I have a pyramid, meaning that my base girth is about a half-inch thicker than my midshaft. For this reason, I was able to use a 2.25" tube when I was close to 5.75" midshaft. Had I been a bit less than 5.75" all the way through- both midshaft and base- I would've only been able to safely use a 2" tube.

The same goes for you guys with baseball bats. If your base is 0.25-0.5" thinner than your midshaft, then you'll also have to take down the size of your tube by a notch if your girth is near one of the lower border measurements. So a guy with a midshaft girth of a little over 5.25" and a base of 5" should probably be using a 1.75" tube- not a 2" tube.

A good rule of thumb is to take the diameter of your base girth (circumference divided by pi) and add 1/4" to the measurement. That should be the size of your tube. But things can get very tricky if your base and midshaft vary considerably- especially if your base is thinner than your midshaft.

bIgjOe: you have a whole 6" of base girth, so you may even be able to fit in a 2.25" tube, but it wouldn't be a good fit since the rest of your shaft is a lot thinner than that. 2" would make the most sense by far, since there is such a large difference between your midshaft and base measurements. That's my recommendation. Pumping should be easier for you with the 2" tube, since an airtight seal will form almost immediately as a result of your larger base girth. If you decide to go with a 2.25" tube, make sure you also get a silicone pump sleeve to go with it (see below).

The entire key to pumping successfully is maintaining an airtight seal at the base of your shaft with the pump cylinder. If the tube is too large, then yes, at least one of your balls will be sucked right into the tube and you will scream like a little bitch until you release the pressure. Even if one of your balls gets partially sucked in the very slightest, you will begin to feel excruciating pain. The tube should be larger than your base- enough to allow you some room to grow and expand- but not too much to allow one of your balls to get even partially sucked into the tube. Don't forget this one, or you will suffer. :!:

One last thing: if you fuck up and get a tube that's a bit too big for you, you can fix the problem by ordering a silicone pump sleeve. I know they're sold at countless places on the internet. Search for "silicone pump sleeve" and you'll find it. It works like a charm for pretty much anyone with a girth of 4.25" (it may possibly work for someone with 4") through to the high 5's. Once your girth nears 6", though, the only way you can even fit into the sleeve is with a ton of lube. That pretty much defeats its purpose.

thanks man, so I guess I'm gonna order their 9 x 2 tube they have listed as their default standard then. I'm very excited about stating on this, thank you for your help.

Anyone know how the billing information shows up on your bank statement if you pay by credit card? Does it say vacutech.com, or something more discreet? Please tell me it doesn't say PENIS ENLARGEMENT!

[Baraka]

Nah, you should be okay Joe. 7 or 8 years ago when e-commerce was pretty new, the sellers didn't know what the fuck the meaning of the word discretion was. These days, though, they always use cover names. Write back what the name of the place you ordered from is called, along with the name that appeared on your card statement. Should be interesting. ;)

I'm suddenly reminded of my own story when I ordered a pump about 5 years ago...

Basically, what happened was that the actual ordering process went off without a hitch, but the delivery was another story. Although it ended up working out okay, I couldn't fucking believe how blatant and irresponsible the company was with the labeling of my package. It said under "contents" (I fucking kid you not): Pump and Cylinder. But to add endless insult to injury, it also said under "type of goods" (again, I'm not kidding): fantasies/erotic. FUUUCK!!! I don't even remember if the delivery guy noticed anything because I was so fucking embarassed! I just wanted to immediately disappear into thin air, or crawl into some hole somewhere. He probably didn't look at the package contents description (I think he woulda said something), but I don't doubt that many other people along the way did. I'm sure that countless people, both delivery and customs, had a good laugh at my expense. Mental note: always order sex toys from a retailer that's in the same country as you.

Yeah I think I will write back about this once I get a definitive answer.
