After a few weeks of stretching and medium jelqing I decided to try some more intense girth stuff tonight. All went well, but a few minutes ago I noticed something was a bit different. I believe its what's called the "Donut Effect" where the circumcision scar just below the glans gets sort of puffy and swelled. It doesn't hurt at all but it looks rather odd. Is this a sign that I'm doing something right in my workout?
 
It is just fluid build up. I don't believe it helps with growth as it is in the skin, but it is common and should go away after a few hours.
 
For those with this 'doughnut effect' does it stay with you or go away? The reason I ask is because I think I have this as well. At first I thought it was a thrombosed vein, but it is a soft, spungy buildup of tissue beneath my glans, so I don't think it's that. It's not visually noticable, but can be felt when erect.

Anyway, wondering what to do to combat this (besides resting :)) and to see what some of you guys are doing who have this as well?

Do you guys always feel your doughnuts? I would get mine worse on the right side, but it wasn't very palpable it just felt like liquid

im uncurcumsised and yeah i can feel it. if i get it very bad its reaallyy noticeable
 
So u just massage it away with heat right, that's what I do. I take little "warm-up/w massage" breaks to dissipate it.
Mine does get noticeable too

depends how 'good' the session was. if ive got really good expansion in the [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]bathmate[/words], and a massive donut because of it, no amount of massaging even affects it, it remains the same. even the next day it wouldnt have gone down fully, would still have a bit of puffy fluid retention
 
Then ur expansion pushes the fluid out to be more noticeable. I've never pumped, and my fluid is virtually gone in some hours.

yeah im the same. i dont usually get fluid retention from manuals, and if i do its only small and goes away quick. only thing that gives me bad fluid/ donut is the [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]bathmate[/words] (so i assume juts pumping in general).
 
You guys who are getting a donut, are you practicing the 5x5x3 sets?

i do 5x2x3, but even on my first set in the [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]bathmate[/words] i can sometimes get fluid retention

Wow, I thought this issue was completely dealt with using the 5x5x3, I guess I was wrong.

for the majority it seems like it does. for me it doesnt so much, as even after my warmup or first set i can start getting a little fluid retention, and once i get a little it doesnt matter what i do between sets, more will come

Well, fluid retention will not cause any permanent problems and if there is some tissue expansion in there with it you will still be gaining.

I think a lot of factors come into play. A major one being the intensity of the pump. How long a person has been doing it. And so on. From reading the 5x5x3 seems to work for most at preventing donuts

I would think a cold pack or crushed ice In a ziplock would be best for getting rid of fluid retention. Cold helps to push the fluid out of the tissues. Heat brings more in. Then massage after the cold therapy to restore blood flow and warm the tissue
 
I practice the 5x5x3 and find that if i jelq in between it tends to exagerate the donut effect as it's pushing toward it, but I've split my between sets of 5 minutes up into 2 minutes of jelqing 👌 and 3 x 1 minute slow squash jelqs, seems to remedy it for me 👍

Cool you found what worked for you. I believe that the way you are doing it will prove to be just as beneficial as DLDs original 5x5x3
 
Good to hear most can adhere to the 5x5x3 routine and now I can se there are variations in this also where some men can go longer in one area or another. The goal is to get as much temporary expansion as possible from internal tissue. Now, if some of this comes as fluid but also in tissue the user can still reap the benefits of the tissue expansion that "is" happening. I think that the discoloration issue is also pretty important and over the time we have practices the 5x5x3 method we have heard much less in the way of discoloration than in earlier times when men were pumping for long periods become very discolored. Sometime PE can be a broad stroke that encapsulates a large portion of men but there will always be exceptions that fall outside these lines. In any case the goal should always be a permanent enlargement with as little "tell tales" of the origin of our size, meaning "it looks like we were born with it."

yea i myself keep my sets to 3 mins when using my vacuum pump. longer leads to the doughnut for me.

It seems like there are many guys who can go for all different times without fluid retention. I guess the smartest move would be to find the exact time retention starts and at that point working in jelqing for the same time. So if a guy can go 10 minutes in the tube, he should go 10 minutes in jelqing, while someone like you should do the same but for 3 minutes.
 
hi guys,
I dont get a lot of donut effect on [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]bathmate[/words], even doing sesseions of 20 min, but when i do manual pumps like jelq or ULI very hard i get a huge donut on my dick. I got scary at first time but as said in a few hours everything is fine.
(i keeping up whith master of size a few months ago-reason that i get a [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]bathmate[/words]-, helping me a lot!! But i never posted nothing because im learning yet, but im glad to help with my short experience in PE )
