Hello Everyone!

Current

BPEL: 8.5 inches
EG: tapered. 5.375 average in top half and 5.75 average bottom half (6 right at base)

Goal:
EG: 6 inch at smallest point.
BPEL: Honestly, I don't think I want any more length. I wouldn't mind losing 1/2 inch if I could convert to girth lol.

Issues: I have hypermobile ehlers-danlos. I have a theory that my collagen should be stretchier and give me a greater maximum. But I think I have some slight tissue fragility that will slow me down. Might be greater risk of some bursting..

Experience: long time ago I had a cheap pump. Really didn't work well and I got spots from overpumping which went away. Never saw any actual gains. More recently, I've been doing a bit of stretching according to videos on here though I am gonna give up the length ones. For girth, been doing basic jelqs and some slow squash. I bought a bathmate hydromax9 and was using for a while until it made me pass out in shower which freaked me out and haven't used since. I think if I use a pump again, it will need to be one with a squeeze pump for more steady pumps. The bathmate you gotta compress against you. One struggle I have is I only have a shower, no bath, no chance to submerge with it to keep air out. So, for the last couple months, I've been doing jelqing for about 10-30 mins at a time 1-2 times a week. Not very consistent. Trying to change that and find what is right for me.

I've replied you on another thread but something on this post caught my attention. You said you passed out in the shower while pumping. I've had similar experiences last year concerning passing out while pumping and I'm curious to find out the reason.

In my case, I didn't pass out but I wa getting there so I had to end the session. It's happened a few times last year.

I'm yet to figure out why.
 
Thanks for reply. Actually, not sure why I said I passed out. I didn't completely pass out. I was pumping while sitting on this chair-like thing in my shower and I suddenly had this overwhelming light-headedness. I was already being super cautious since I had only been using for about 2-3 weeks. So, I had my hand on the release valve and immediately released as soon as I felt woozy. I slumped against the side of shower and I had a panicked feeling. My phone was no where near. I just stayed still for a few minutes and took deep breaths. I tried to figure out what I did differently. 1) This was first time I used the comfort sleeve
2) I did kegels and jelqing prior

Maybe it was a fluke. I had gotten a full pump for 1-2 weeks and never felt off. Kinda sad since the bathmate hydromax9 aint cheap.

My guess is that you exceeded the safe pressure to use with a pump and therefor lost consciousness due to loss of blood from the brain.
The hydroextreme doesn't have a gauge so you need to be very careful when using it.

Pump up until you are expanded, in no pain, and not feeling light headed is my advice.

Can be many things like, blood sugar level...
Can be the blood pressure.
Heat exposure.

Diagnosing someone online is not easy.

Maybe your heart and circulatory system can't keep up with the changes in pressure?
If you stand up fast from lying down, do you get dizzy? If so are your blood pressure (resting) to low or is it at normal levels?
If you have low blood-pressure and are suddenly standing up, and your heart can't keep up, this can make you get dizzy.
Many people experience dizziness when having low blood pressure (to low).

If your body and heart are healthy it should be able to regulate the pressure fast when you are standing up, or change the pressure in your circulatory system with a penis pump (or you have low resting blood pressure). When we get older this ability to fast regulate the blood pressure gets worse. Taking care of your circulatory system is important.

This is what I can come up with. I suggest measuring blood pressure at rest, and after standing up fast.
Also measuring blood-pressure when you are active during the day.

Hope this helps.
 
I definitely wasn't in any pain from the expansion. I was still being fairly cautious at that point how much I was pumping but tbh I found it hard using the water pump to tell if I was overly expanded since the water distorts the view. This is the hydromax, not the extreme, so my understanding is that when you compress the base, it can only apply so much pressure until the resistance from tissues is equal to the spring force of the compression folds (if that makes sense).

My heart is quite healthy as I have long history of physical activity. All blood work is optimal. Healthy diet and weight. Blood pressure is typically 110/70, sometimes more toward 120/80 depending. Sometimes when I stand up I get that temporary lightheadedness.

Thanks for help.

Your welcome.
The Hydromax is a safe pump to start out with, I started with Hydromax 5 and I'm now are at HydroXtreame 7 Wide Boy (same diameter as 9). I have the belif as well, that you will gain faster if you start at the most fitting pump (not to big).

When you maximize the expansion at the diameter at the base you will get into problems when having the hydromax model. Your tissue will limit your ability to increase the pressure. When this happens you can either implement VacuVin modification or get a bigger pump of the HydroXtreame model.

Always when going up in pump size with Bathmate, you should get the one that fit the best. So I would suggest 7 Wide Boy before 9. I belive they have a 8 version now as well, not sure. Just some informaiton.
It's not the static blood pressure I'm talking about. It's about your body ability to regulate the blood pressure fast.
If you experiance temporary Lightheadedness this can be an indication of what is going on. I'm just putting information out.
The body is a complicated machine.

I just saw this now. When I stand up from bed, I do not feel dizzy. I recall the the two times I experienced this when at a time when I was drinking too much beer. I will run a blood pressure check.

I've not experienced this ever since it happens last year. Maybe a lack of cardio could also be a contributing factor.

I will run sugar level test too.

Thanks for the info brother.

The funny thing how you start mentioning the partial lost of vision or light-headedness. Sounds like blood sugar and/or blood pressure. I have low blood pressure from time to time as well. If I don't exercise for more than a week, my body equalizes the pressure to a lower pressure. Sitting up or standing up fast from a repose position, I get light-headedness. Very common.

However, things can get bad too. There's a way to test if you actually have a blood clot or artery plague build up. Some of the most healthy appearance people dropped dead due to plague buildup in the arteries. Clots tagged along the walls of heavy plagues, and the light-headedness is a resulting symptom. My suggestion is to drink 85mg baby aspirin daily in the morning for the next 30 days to test if that sufficiently help in eliminating the symptom. If it does, time for a good old balance diet and exercises. Plague reduction medication also helps very fast. I like the tough it up and pushing it hard approaches.

The brother got it covered. But make sure to cover all your bases for health reasons.
 
Thanks for suggestion. I think I have my bases covered on general health. I had my ApoB tested in Dec and it was 71 mg/dl which is ideal. Pulmonary function test was good. Echocardiogram was good. Testosterone still in 700s.

Whether standing up causes lightheadedness depends a lot. I had a little bit during PT today. I was doing shoulder therapy and was alternating sides on a PT table for about 10-15mins so I think that was enough but it lasted like 3-5 sec tops. I've never felt lightheaded if I get up in middle of night to use bathroom. Sometimes if I do a crouch/deepsquat in front of the oven checking on the meal, when I stand straight up, I get it for like 2-3 sec. Never had an issue while exercising.

I have Ehlers-danlos hypermobile type which can be a bit problematic. It affects the elasticity of collagen which is in the arterial walls.

I recall plugging into chatgpt and it suggested Vasovagal syncope, which is usually harmless.
 
Mind did last 2 to 5 seconds as well, based on how long I've remained stationed, heart rate at rest (normally at 62 to 65 bpm), and how fast I moved from rest before force my heart rate up. Now, I force my heart rate to rise at least 15 bpm for a minute from rest before become mobile. I don't get that temporary black out any more. Even more so after I cycle harder and faster up the hills between 800 to 1200 ft climbs of pure resistance training. The habit to prevent suddenly pressure drops and rises still stuck with me.

But having Ehlers-danlos hypermobile may play a certain reduction of routine in your aggressive PE. Do try lower intensity first to see if that works. Progression may be slower but safer. Until your body is programmed after so many months of low intensity, moderate to higher intensity can be introduced afterwards. Medical logs are always encouraged for tracking.
 
A lot of amazing information in this thread. I have personally experienced episodes of orthostatic hypotension during significant caloric restriction. I did not test specifically, but I have to guess it was lower blood sugar contributing to it from the reduced calorie intake.

Yep! When my blood sugar is low after cycling, and I don't eat within 2 hours, my body shakes and blood pressure drops. Initial symptoms are shaking, follows by hunger cravings, then slowly migrating into hazy mind to lightheadedness. It just means your body craves fuel, especially complex carbs, for metabolic and neuropathy functions. It's a survival instinct to either eat or hibernate.

More some, they are blessed with systematic balance and doesn't effect them as much. For those who have high-low swings, which tend to be a mass majority of the population, this happens. You don't notice it when you're younger, but the moment you hit 35 to 40 years of age, the symptoms come out and say hello a bit harsher. My kids are very active, and they feel it around 10AM if they don't eat anything by then. This can be trained to suppress the symptoms for weight loss purposes, but I rather not. Once you program your body to adjust for too long, the weight rebounds upward is extremely harsh as the body will grab and store everything as fat.

I get the same effect when getting up. I thought it was just me getting older. I will try some of these suggestions
 
Mityvac and bundle arriving tomorrow (fire) I picked up a red light emitter a couple days ago and been using it for warmup and recovery. So far, just been alternating slow squashes and isolated compressions. Doing lots of kegels everyday and already feeling fuller.

Congratulations you have a treasure trove of the equipment coming. Be sure to watch all the videos. You can to get the greatest understanding.
 
I'm a bit confused. I got a silicap 2 in my bundle. And I'm supposed to put this over erection before putting in pump. But how do I go back and forth between 5 mins of jelqing and 5 mins of pumping? That's seems very difficult since silicap should have no lube or oils so it has a good grip.

It doesn't go over you penis in pump. It goes over your glans when putting on the Sili stretcher or any vacuum extender device to protect the glans from blistering.
 
Yes and no.

Yes, if the cap is looser based on the baseline (starting erected) glans measurement you've provided, and decide to go a bit crazy on the vac pressure (8 to 10 inHg). As your glans expands to nearly double the size, the cap restricts the skin form pealing off and create blisters.

No, if you're not taking the chance in going into the high vac pressure zone and stay around 5 to 8 inHg. 7 to 8 inHg is considered as moderate pressure, which forces your glans to expand into the 1.75x it's size already.

Be mindful that not everyone's glans can expand quickly without blistering or suffer micro fissures, even at 5 inHg. The cap is just for preventative measures.

The cap can be taken off and put on with ease after a bit for practice. I used to use it with my Doc Johnson pump, but I stopped after I practiced safety pressure expansion in mind.

Go light first until your glans can be observed to go higher each time. Start with 5inHg, then 6 inHg, and back to 5 inHg. Make sure to add more blood using stimulation for highest erection you can.This is the safe zone. Once you know it's good for the week, go to 6 inHg, then 7in Hg, then 5inHg. Same erection method. Kegel is a great too for this. If another week gone by without issues, enter into the moderate zone. 7inHg to start, 8inHg to further expand, down to 6inHg to keep expanding. 90 minutes of cock ring at 70% constriction with constant cycling of blood into the penis.
 
Thanks! I'm trying tonight first time mityvac and will start with 5Hg. I used bathmate before but no idea what the pressure was. I think compressed the bellows fully twice which may have been close to max. No discoloration or blisters. I don't recall my glans expanding disproportionately. Will let y'all know. This will be very experimental.
 
Awesome. My suggestion is to measure before and after pumping sessions using the SRT method (5x5x3). Log and log and log your expansion rate. The glans expansion is an indicator of your entire shaft expansion at 0.75 ratio as the glans is the most sensitive to ballooning. Do let us know of your intensity results and we'll come up with a game plan together. Your success is our success in the brotherhood.
 
Am I the only person that can't keep an erection after doing aggressive stretches? I was doing all direction holds, kegels, reverse kegels, then bundles in all directions as a warmup to loosen things up. Feeling pretty stretchy. And then.. I can't stay hard. Pretty sure this has happened before. Usually I do basic jelqs with kegels but those require lube and I didn't want to get lube on anything before putting on silicap2 and pumping. Coconut oil is the only lube I like for jelqing but it really has that staying power, even if I use a towel to try to wipe it all off. I wonder if I should come back in like 30 mins. The aggressive stretch with reverse kegel does something to me that really makes EQ terrible right after.
 
No, it's not only you. That means you hit fatigue load. When you perform aggressive stretches, you also cause fatigue to both the nerves and tissues. When that happens, it's hard to get an erection. That's why the brothers warn each other, especially newbies, not to have sex for a few hours until your nerves and tissues can readapt. It can take up to a day. Just rest in an ADS, wrap, traction device, or sleeve to prevent turtling.
 
Well damn. I've been doing slow squash and compression squeezes 5 of the last 7 days. I thought resting yesterday would be enough.
 
I think I bought a too small tube. I have to lube up and stuff skin near base into the tube before I can fully wrap the comfort sleeve around and make the seal. I got the 2 inch tube. I also notice that the pressure keeps dropping. I do a few pumps then shake it a little and kegel to settle things. Is it OK to keep pumping back to 5Hg? It definitely feels like it is building pressure. I am going past the 8.5 inch marker though not sure how accurate that is. Glans is not expanding much as far as I can tell. In fact, I'd say it seems smaller them my normal fully erection.
 
If there is a slow leak of pressure, yes, keep pumping it back up to 5 inHg. As long as the glans is acting as an indicator that the additional pressure you are using to get the vacuum back up is not a problem. Going past the 8in tube marker is a marker that the suction is spot on, pulling and tugging on your scrotum and inner penis up and up, including stretching the living daylight out of the penis shaft. Just make sure the residual pressure in the tube is dropping as well and not accumulative from your additional pumping. Not good if you're subjecting your glans to too high of a total pressure. This is where blisters will form.
 
Thought I was seeing things. I measured BPEL after pumping and was 9 inches. But MSEG still 5.5 inches.

The bottom half of shaft was smooshed against sides while pumping. Felt a bit uncomfortable. I wasn't using the silicap2 since I needed lube to get base in the tube. I'm not sure I know what 'fluid retention' looks like. I could see veins quite clearly.

So I can order just a bigger diameter tube? Length increased but that wasn't my goal.
 
To answer your question, fluid retention or buildup on the penis feels like loose flapping liquid rather than the rigid skin.
1711774389388.png

If you are getting that tight feeling, a larger tube is needed. If you're looking for girth and not length, that's what you're aiming for, wide open freedom to expand. For me, I select 0.5in to 0.75in larger diameter at a time. If you you're looking for more to grow, go for 1.25 to 1.5in wider in diameter to grow.

That's what happens with PE.You need to figure out what works best in you're growth but also the time you spend getting to that point
 
I bought a 2.25 and 2.5 diameter tube. Hopefully with a wider tube, I'll expand more girthwise than length.

I pumped earlier today but used the silicap2 with no pump sleeve. Silicap2 was a pain to get on. But pumping with the silicap2 on was a different experience. I actually got a bit more head expansion somehow. Expansion overall was very even. I might use that from now on.
 
My goodness. A 2.5in tube and you're going for broke for larger girth. Truly a chase after the python results.

As we indicated, the SiliCap is designed for that purpose of protecting the glans from blistering due to pressure differential. However, you discovered the hidden bonus where the pressure differential trapped by the SiliCap also influences the glans isolated expansion. Think of the SiliCap as a penis ring around the entire glans, causing a mushroom expansion phenomenon. I grew out of mine, and I use the cut off penis sleeve to strap around the base of my glans in the Bathmate to further create that phenomenon. Good job on discovering the hidden easter egg of the SiliCap.

It sounds like you found a great solution to doing your work.I would stick with it and see where it brings you
 
Mixed results today..

First session had EQ issues. Tried to get through the SSJ anyway and through pumping though I was going in with only like 30-40% erection. Just ended up frustrated. I learned that I need to avoid doing any stretching immediately prior and just do a quick warmup. However, I can do stretching earlier. I did go through 3 pump intervals but they were poor. Oh, noting that I went a bit crazy and tried using a roller on my shaft against table lol. All I got was little red dots for my trouble.

Hours later I decided to try again but in the shower. I first tried using the water pump and it did not work for me. I must have missed something in directions so will look into that. So I decided to just do dry pumping. EQ was substantially better and I was able to get the silicap2 on and fully elongated. I went into pump with probably 80% erection. Still, issue with tube being too small. Tried to use coconut oil to help. Issue I had is that I was packing the bottom couple inches immediately and was sticking to the sides. I was watching some lovely ladies (lol) while pumping so was at 100% erection. Doing a lot of kegels, shaking the tube, and pressing against me to move further down tube. Then restoring to 5Hg. I never went above 5Hg. Just kept repeating all that and restoring the 5Hg as pressure dropped. In the last few minutes, I also did some pulling away from me against vacuum then follow by kegel and push against me again.

When I released pressure and pulled tube off, I found that my silicap2 had split up about 3 inches. Well, that's annoying. I noticed a tiny nick in it other day which seemed to keep growing. Had less than a week..

Not sure what is going on with my 2x tube order. Ordered on 30th and it's been notified pre-shipment to USPS since Monday.
 
Did a pump session in shower. 3 times. Since my silicap2 was split in the bottom 2 inches, I used the elastic band that was in the original packaging of the mityvac to cover that part. Went in with 70-80% erection and went to 5Hg. Packing width of 2'' tube up maybe 5 inches and length past the 8.5 inch marker. Really need that 2.25 inch tube to arrive...

red dots are gone from yesterday.

Some pain near tip of glans but I don't see any discoloration or swelling.

Sent an email to sales to find out where my shipment is. Thought I'd have my stuff after a week.
 
Pain near the tip of the glans means you've hit the baseline expansion limit. That pain is an indicator of micro fissures below the epidermis, or even the epidermis itself, that you don't see. Log that baseline in. Try at 4 inHg on first session, 5 inHg on 2nd session, and back down to 4 inHg on 3rd session for the next week. If you don't feel that pain at the tip for the next few days, pump back up to 5 inHg again. Don't let the micro fissures cause issues.
 
Common phenomenon for those who are starting out. Same with me when I started my first few weeks of pumping way back then. As I increased in pressure, same thing occured. When I used the Bathmate for the first few times, same thing happened as I enter into the 8 inHg zone. Everyone has different sensitivity.

I just think I have a different relation to pain. There is "pain" that is pure pleasure and are safe, and there is PAIN.
 
I didn't feel the pain while pumping. I also have some different relations to pain. You might call it a discomfort. I'm certainly not in agony. It feels very low level right now and if I squeeze all around, there are no tender areas.
 
Yep, definitely micro fissures at the tip of the glans. Lower the pressure down a smidgen (1 inHg), and crank it back up to the prior pressure after the micro fissures heal. Your glans will be conditioned by then. Very common.
