How to add clamping into pumping regime

[Ptree Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Ptree]

After half a year of consistent PE - and on and off for about ten years - I'd like to add clamping. Currently mostly cyclic pumping (10-15hg @ 30-40 seconds) and jelq routine 5 days/week. Target on girth here.

Specific questions from your experience:
a) suggested to gradually introduce clamping days (say 2 or 3 days per week) or just gradually up the time per session?
b) clamping usually performed in tandem with edging? I can't maintain full turgidity without some stimulation, don't see how this is done
c) what's the experience of combining pumping and clamping - is it a zero-sum game or mutually reinforcing, and if the latter, then what's a good combo routine to maximize said benefits

Hope this is clear, and thanks all for the feedback.

I do not recommend cyclic/pulse pumping at 10 to15 hg. 2 to 5 hg would be a better way to go with perhaps one or two 30 second pumps up to 15 hg.

I would do daily clamping and gradually increase the time frame.

Clamping after pumping is most effective.

I do not edge so I can’t answer that question.

Thanks for the advice, Not2... Why do you, personally, not recommend that nervous for more cycles? I'd used 2-5hg half hour sessions for four months with no results, so decided to shake it up based on a couple of other user experiences here. Just curious what risks you see or have experienced.

Perhaps I wasn’t clear. I was recommending pulse pumping between 2 and 5 hg for up to 30 minutes and slip in one or two 30 second pumps at up to 15 hg. I pumped for 20 minutes at 5 hg twice a day, 6 days a week and one 45 minute session at 4 hg and gained over an inch in girth. Pumping at high hgs an cause blisters and bruising.

I'd listen to not2big! Blisters are a bummer. I had one and don't want another!!!

First question, have you done any clamping yet?

I had done some about two years ago. At that time I combined edging and clamping - kept it up for about a month before I lost interest due to comfort of the clamp. I've soled that problem with a silicone strip now.

OK, thanks for clearing that up. How long did that 1" take? Well done.
I haven't had any bruising or blisters as long as I didn't exceed 1 minute, I kept it to 30 seconds to be safe. HOWEVER, I have been experiencing little red spots that go away in a day or so.

It sounds like you have learned how to clamp. Using a silicone comfort sleeve takes the discomfort out of clamping. I cut my own sleeves 3/4 to 1 inch in width from an 8 inch silicone sleeve I buy from LG Hanger. I typically clamp 15 to 30 minutes at a time. I edge continuously while clamped without cumming. Now I try to clamp 15 minute sessions, usually doing anywhere from 2-4 sessions a day.
Pumping and clamping should complement each other and enable you to achieve some nice girth gains. If you use a comfort sleeve, Clamping can be addictive. It's a lot of fun and definitely yields girth gains.

I think you've made made admirable progress. Where did most of your girth gains come from, and how long would you say they took?

I have been doing stretching, jelqing, pumping for the last 3 years and added clamping for the last 18 months. I have used bathmate for the last 3 years and Recently (1.5 months ago) I purchased electric pump Paloqueth with masturbating sleeve. I love this pump and I bundle stretch and then jelq and then Edge and enter the pump fully erect (the sleeve raises with penis inside pump) and then I would edge with 4 cockrings (Paloqueth 2 in one and 3 Cr of 0.8,1.0,1.2 diameter). I will start with the one with strap (one goes behind balls) and edge and then after 3 min I add the 1.2 cr and after 3 min add 1.0 cr and after 3 min add 0.8. I usually pump few 10 minute sessions and then use the 4 cr’s just like clamp or go back and forth between pump, jelq and clamp.

I used to clamp with normal clamp and it broke couple of months ago. I feel I get same expansion this way and only thing is I have to be careful taking Cr’s out (this one is very flexible and I am careful with it), it is possible to snap back if not careful.

I feel this is more controllable than clamp and if needed I would do Uli during the clamped time And kegel As well. I always measure before, during and after the session and I always get at least 0.75 in expansion During the 4 Cr session (after pumping) and at least 0.25 in After few hours.

Does it make a difference if using a clamp or 4 cockrings that I use like above?
