When to get a bigger tube and what increment to get it in

[bIgjOe]

Hey guys, so I've been doing a great pumping combined with jelqing and clamping routine, and it seems like I'm nearing 5.5 inch around mark. I will be jumping up and down for joy once I am sure it is cemented real girth, but it feels like the last time I got a girth gain.
Anyway back to the point. I got the standard 9x2 tube from vacutech, and now it seems as though I am filling it much more than before (obviously). That was the recommended size for my 5.25 girth before. So to those who have moved up in tube size before or have been pumping for awhile, when should I get a new tube (at what size)? Am I supposed to let it get to 5.75 before I move into a bigger one? That is for optimum gaining.

The reason I ask is that it doesn't seem like it is giving the same pull as before on the walls of the penis. So is it always preferable to keep getting a new tube custom fitted for each size gain or is there a certain gain milestone I should wait for like a full .5" or something?

Any responses are appreciated.

If your erect non pumped girth is at 5.25 inches you should be able to fill the cylinder wall to wall for the first 3 inches with a 2 inch i.d. cylinder.

You could handle a 2.25 inch i.d. cylinder but I would not go bigger than that. A 2.25 inch cylinder has a circ. of 7 inches. The next size up with most manufacturers is 2.5 inches which is a circ. of 7.8 inches.

If money is not an issue try out a 2.25 but don't get greedy and go bigger unless you want to suck your balls into the cylinder with your dick.

Ok cool, I just found Baraka's old sizing chart too that helped. I think I'll order the 2.25 diameter tube now while I have the extra funds so I can jump right into it when I feel fully ready.
