Issues with mityvac

[Hiaslayer]

Hello,

I’ve been using the bath mate for about 6 months now and enjoy using it. I pump at maximum pressure entering with a full erection. I gradually step it up during a session. I stay 1min in the bath mate at a time, then repeat at higher pressure until I reach the maximum expansion and pressure. I stop when I notice an Edema to develop. As the bath mate mainly increases girth I bought the mityvac with a cylinder only slightly bigger than my penis to also target length.

My experience is not great. I am careful but even with only 2-3inHg my penis feels really limp and numb afterwards. There is no pain. The expansion I’m getting at this vacuum is hardly noticeable especially in comparison to the bath mate. I pump only a few minutes and there is no post pump and I only have this numb feeling. With the bath mate I would just like to keep going after a session.
Am I a “non responder”? Am I doing something wrong?

It appears your current skin conditioning is not able to handle the higher pressures just yet. Since it's 6 months, I'm suspecting you're about -7inHg in pushing the pressure load. Maybe even higher. This is why it's hard to truly see where you are without a gauge.

Since you're switching to the MityVac, keep a very diligent log of your pressure. Pump slowly and creep up slowly. Don't go too high and too fast just yet.

If you're pumping with just -2inHg to -3inHg, that's not the correct pressure. Normally, the starting pressure is around -4inHg. Do make sure you have the right pressure.

But, before anything else, let's stop at the moment. When you say numb and really limp, provide us more info. Numb around which area? Limp, how? Something is very off. If you're pumping with a full erection, your internal pressure, at the lowest, starts at +3.5inHg and at the highest is around +5inHg. If you're pumping only -2 to -3inHg, that's barely a suction using your own mouth over a skin surface area.

If you're pumping for the past 6 months using the BathMate, what model are you using, and how many strokes are you pumping to vacate air/water out of the cylinder. Something is fishy or something is greatly missing in the statement.

It's not that you're "non-responder". There's something missing in the overall info.

Thank you for your response.

I have the hydromax9 and pump in one minute increments starting at a slight pump (19cm) up to the BM fully compressed at a full pump reaching 21.5cm (bpel without pump is 17cm, with it is 18cm) - probably 10x1min until I reach the last stage (21.5cm). My penis feels full and there is a general good feeling.

After that I go into the mityvac with a full erection and a good pump. I fill out the cylinder. As explained, I want to mainly target length with the MV. I pump to -3inhg maximum as I want to be careful as I have read the pressure in an air pump is different than in the BM. When I stop, my penis does not feel pumped and it just feels numb and limp. Even with kegels I cannot get blood flow going. There is no pain at all, it just hangs down “dead”. I’m struggling to get an erection afterwards. Like I said, with the BM I feel full and can get hard even at maximum pressure (especially with maximum pressure and a full pump tbh). I am air pumping with the mityvac.
