Pre-Penis Pumping Best Practices

1. Warm Up

Always warm up your penis as much as you can before penis pumping. You can perform goal rolls (holding your penis between your open hands and twisting it back and forth, similar to warming your hands if they're cold), manual stretching and exercises, wrap a warm towel around your penis, or take a hot shower or bath.

Warming up relaxes your penile tissues and promotes blood flow which are important in reducing discomfort, pain, and injuries during a pump sesssion.

2. Wrap

This is a personal preference, as some men don't want to bother with wrapping their glans or penile head, don't derive any benefit from it, and want to save time and materials.

Some men wrap the head of their penis up to their circumcision scar (if they're circumsized), to reduce edema or excess fluid buildup and swelling in that area.

Another benefit of wrapping is to shape your penis more uniformly, or to give it a thicker base/bottom and narrower tip/top shape.

Simply use athletic wrapping tape (which can be found here) and wrap the head of the penis, or put a glans cap over it.

3. Lubricate Penis

Apply a lubricant, lotion, or petroleum jelly to your penile shaft and even the wrapped tip if you decided to cover it. This will reduce friction when you insert and remove your penis from the cylinder, and make the entire process smoother.

4. Lubricate Rim or Sleeve

Apply a lubricant, lotion, or petroleum jelly to the rim of the cylinder or the sleeve that's around the rim of the cylinder. This will help create a strong seal between the pump and your body to maintain the vacuum suction and pressure.

5. Apply Heat

Purchase an electronic heating pad to wrap around the tube of the penis pump. This will deliver constant heat to your penis and the internal chamber environment during the pumping session to promote greater blood flow and relax the penile tissues.

Here are two heating pads with Velcro that are suitable for penis pumping sessions:

Electric Heating Pad with 10 Heating Levels and Digital Remote Control

Electric Heating Pad with 9 Heating Levels and Digital Remote Control

6. Produce Erection

Produce an erection to be as hard as possible before entering the chamber and while starting your pumping session, as that can help produce expansion and gains.
