So I started pumping after keen interest in reading various threads... Seems like a very helpful aide so got me a vacutech pump and not really sure how to use it.

It ain't rocket science I know but my problem is that no matter the amount of pressure (10 cmhg or < 5 inhg) I get major discoloration, red spots, and dam doughnut effect. I pump for 10 mins or less, take a break, jelq lightly, and wait a few mins then pump another 10 mins.

So what can I do to avoid these issues, and get good progressive benefits?

I lube up well, I've tried using a condom, etc but can't see any progress. I read about people filling up their tube in 10 mins I feel if I do more than 10 minutes it will just hurt.

I have also tried lower vac pressure but Im just lost.... Can the more experienced people help me out? Thx

Wet a wash cloth with warm/hot water, squeeze it out, then do a hot wrap around your shaft. After a minute or two, repeat with another dose of hot water (not too hot to cause any pain, of course). You might want to do it a third time, too.

After that, lube up (I like using coconut oil and water) and then start pumping. I think you'll find that your problems will go away with this proper warm up.

I am wondering if your tube is too large? If you are using a larger tube you can get to doughnut quicker. Have you read Tigers Guide to Pumping? I have been pumping for three years and found early that I was getting the doughnut, I had a tube that was too large, ordered the next size down and it really works much better. I find best to be very warm (like to get up early and pump in bed) and hard, lube up and just enough pressure to feel the suction. I take a break every 10 min and jelq, then back into the tube.... watching on line porn is great. Check out Tigers Guide and let us know how your doing in a day or two. Good luck, it does work wonders.

Hey guys thanks for the replies... I did attempt warming up as well sorry I didn't mention. However I am concluding that maybe my tube is too big. I know I measured accordingly but can't help but wonder if that is the problem now. These things are soooooooo difficult to obtain here so I'm kind of screwed. :-( thanks for your help though will try and use the coconut oil and more intense warm up

I have heard a lot of pumpers say they went from vacuums of 5" Hg or more down to about 3" because of soreness, discoloration, diminished EQ, or the doughnut effect.

The doughnut tends to form in that area of the glans and the sulcus where the penis is not covered by normal skin. If you are circumcised, you tend to get it right where the circumcision scar ends. The toughness of the skin limits the amount of fluid that can accumulate in the tissues since it retards expansion. But where that skin is lacking, fluid can more easily accumulate in the tissue.

When you pump, fluid accumulates throughout your whole penis, but a little more accumulates where it is not bound by thick skin. I suspect just decreasing the pressure a little will do the trick. Jelqing does not aggravate the doughnut effect IME. In fact, it seems to massage the excess accumulated fluid out. But for most guys, the doughnut is gone after a few hours anyway.

Redbear good points... I will try lower vac and see if that helps. I would like to fill in that tube tho coz else pumping isn't much of a help. I been doing pe for almost a year, and girth is what I seek most so trying to keep up with it.
