The Bathmate Hydropump

[Lampwick]

Oh... And the connectors for Vacutech and NW pump works are the same.
They aren't proprietary either..... CTC is a sterile fluids connection company for the food and medical industry, among others. They have an online catalog, and you can also order those off of different sites for much cheaper (Generally $0.50 to 2.00us)
I used to have the exact part number, but that was a while ago, and might have changed due to revisions.

Try part number 5012K251 from McMaster-Carr.

Get yourself a good fitted cylinder and male CTC quick connect from:
Vacutech
NW Pump Works
Vendor of your choice that actually has a chart for size, so you can match one to fit YOU!

The only caveat I would add to Rikter8's recommendation is from a thread at Thunrder's on sizing cylinders. It seems to be a pretty common experience that if you buy a cylinder size based on the vendor's charts, you wind up packing it very quickly and in the market for your next cylinder.

Now, it's by no means a bad thing to be outgrowing your cylinder, but you might want to consider taking the vendor's recommendation and then moving up a quarter inch. Example: if they recommend 1.75, you buy 2.0.

You definitely don't want to buy a cylinder that is much too large; it becomes difficult to keep your balls from getting sucked into the cylinder, and that is quite painful. That's probably another reason why the vendors err on the side of caution when making their recommendations.

If you DO wind up buying a slightly larger cylinder and it DOES give you this problem, you can always address it by buying a slip-on cushion.

Here's one example of a cylinder cushion. You may also find them under the name of sleeve or donut.

Or go to Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more and search for "penis donut", and you'll get several good results there.

Sometimes yes. I found that Vacutech's chart runs big actually.
They had recommended I go to a 1.75", and at first, It was too big, and pulled in my scrotum. So, I followed up and bought a 1.5" thickwall. I pack that nicely, then I move on to the 1.75".
Everybody is different. Some guys swell more than others, some not as much, thus it's just a reference to get you in the ballpark.

But you are correct, the charts arent exact. It's good to find pumpers in your area and try their cylinders for size. That way you'll know what fits before you order a $80-100 cylinder.

Sorry to have to disagree with you on this one Lamp, but I think the way to go is the accepted method of having your first cylinder 1/4" bigger in diameter than your cock and once you're packing that, move up a 1/4" to the next sixe tube. It helps counteract the douughnut effect and gives a more uniform pump. I know it may sound extravagant,having more than one tube, but considering there are people here willing to spend vast sums on 'one size fit all' rubbish, why not spend the money wisely and do it right?

Now that I have seen a Bathmate, I can say, It looks like a Cheap Pornshop Pump or "TOY".
The doctor image at the top of the page was the dead giveaway.

Almost all pumps can be used in the tub, except for (obviously) electric pumps. (Unless you get a pump that's so cheap, it doesnt like water either).

Folks, if you really want to get big by the method of pumping, you need to get a Cylinder that fits your cock properly.
If it doesnt fit properly, your going to either Squeeze into it when you get hard, and not have any room to grow, OR you'll pork out at the base of your cock and have a skinny tip.

You want a good pump? OK...

Without wishing to appear pompous or offend, a newbie could be miss lead or confused here. When talking about pumps in the same breath as water, you're actually reffering to the cylinder and not the pump. As you rightly point out, most, if not all cylinders can be used with water, but not all pumps can. For the ones that can't, you need a water trap between the cylinder and trhe pump.

Actually, I can't disagree with you. The "buy one size larger" really depends on the accuracy of the vendor's chart, which, as you note, varies. The "buy the cylinder cushion" strategy is a rescue strategy if it winds up that your cylinder is just way too large.

I have more than one cylinder, for staged pumping, but part of how I got there was I had a cheap cylinder that was a non-standard diameter. The next size up, in a quality cylinder of standard dimensions, was just a little larger than my cheap cylinder, so I went up one more size from there... and it was too large. As you know, a seemingly small change in diameter makes a HUGE difference in cylinder size.

So, I went back, bought the cylinder that seemed as if it would be just a little bigger than my cheap cylinder, and was very happy with that. Over time, I'm filling that cylinder more and more, and use the larger cylinder from time to time in staged pumping.

And as I said before - how unhappy can you be that pumping worked for you and that you outgrew your cylinder? To quote the MasterCard cylinder - priceless!

why are you guys discussing about pumps when they don´t provide any gains, anyway... does a special cylinder provide any gains...? and btw, the sites of other enlargement methods don´t look better! for example. Penis enlargement AndroMedical Andro-Penis it´s even worse than the bathmate site. and the guys who don´t own one and can´t say something on personal experience should shut up.
