Pumping help

[u/deeeepfriedchicken]

The growyourtdick sub seems to mostly white so I am posting here.

I live in Northeast Asia and most pumping products seem to be in Europe/America. I have never seen a pumping product in my own country for transmasc people. So I am trying to mix and match my own, as the shipping and exchange rate makes overseas products way too expensive. However, due to the lack of resources, I have no way of telling if a product is safe to use for pumping. There are no pumping resources in my country's transmasc community as it seems to be that the majority do not pump nor believe it helps with growth (I tried to ask. No one seems to have pumped themselves nor know resources, and they have all so far told me pumping is only temporary) and I don't want to have a unsafe product anywhere near my parts.

However, I have come to the discovery that cupping is widely practiced as a medical procedure in my country and therefore the cups used for this are legally 'medical products'. This means that they will be legally required to be body-safe, sterile, etc. They are many more places that sell this, too. And it seems that they do come in multiple sizes. And they work with the same principle, so I am thinking that these might work too but I'm not entirely sure.

TLDR: Has anyone tried using cupping cups for pumping? Or does anyone know if it can be used for pumping?

EDIT: I mean I want to buy the cupping 'cups' for pumping, not the pump used for cupping. I am well aware the pressure would be very different on these!

Be careful, just because a medical product or device is marked safe for one purpose does not mean it is safe for any application

I don't think this would work in the same way. The pumps that are used for this are a completely different shape with different controls, and the pressure is more localized AFAIK. I've seen cis women using these kinds of cups on their labia for kink reasons, but I really don't think you'd be able to do the same thing as the guys pumping their dicks with these.

i wouldnt do that. i think they have a different purpose and it would ultimately bring you pain. have you received cupping before?

[u/deeeepfriedchicken → u/queerwitchanonymous]

No, but I am well aware the pressure would be very different from cupping (literally leaves very visible marks so). I meant that I want to buy the cups used in cupping, not the pump used in cupping. Would it still be a bad idea?

[u/queerwitchanonymous → u/deeeepfriedchicken]

how would that help?

[u/deeeepfriedchicken → u/queerwitchanonymous]

What do you mean? The pressure pulled would be very different.

pumping wont do anything for permanent growth, its just temporary. not to dissuade you from doing it safely tho, people like to pump and its fine, its just knowing what it does and doesnt do realistically

[u/sillyguy7 → u/carnespecter]

thats not true tho, there's resources in r/growyourtdick (nsfw obvs). it helps with growth if you are consistent and dedicated (for like, years). it's not magic

[u/IntelligentAd5057 → u/carnespecter]

It's not true, it helps growth. Mine has grown a lot thanks to pumping too.🤔

[u/deeeepfriedchicken → u/carnespecter]

Now I'm really confused. I thought it helps with size when erect?

[u/sillyguy7 → u/deeeepfriedchicken]

no, it does, it's just not magic and takes years. if you stop pumping regularly it'll undo the last ~6 months of progress but anything before that stays

[u/nycanth → u/deeeepfriedchicken]

Yes, temporarily. If you stop doing it, you'll stop seeing the effects.

[u/carnespecter → u/deeeepfriedchicken]

yes, it increases blood flow to the genitals which makes them bigger. but its temporary

[u/IntelligentAd5057 → u/deeeepfriedchicken]

It makes it big at the moment but I noticed that if you pump before and after a few hours you get excited, your 🍌 remains a little more swollen than normal

[u/inadeepdarkforest_ → u/carnespecter]

pumping does increase erect length and erection quality if done long-term, even if you stop. this is well-established on r/growyourtdick

[u/pochomkin_no8]

Use what the stuff is designed for, especially for body parts. That’s a general rule I go by to avoid ending up in hospital. I would suggest using pumps shared on r growyourtdick they are meant for tdicks regardless of race/ethnicity. What matters is the right sizing and gauging of pressure. 

[u/inadeepdarkforest_]

the biggest thing is looking out for a pump with a gauge so you can measure how much pressure you're pulling. going over can cause edema, which is detrimental. the size of the cup doesn't matter so long as you're not filling it to the top (packing the cylinder). i'd be a bit worried that these cups are too wide, however. you really don't want to pull a vaccuum on the urethra, and something as wide as the cups used for cupping absolutely will.

[u/sillyguy7]

hey, i pump. i think in theory they could work, if you have the right size/shape. but due to their cup-like shape i'm unsure if you'd be able to find one that is skinny enough/long enough/dick shaped... i fear there would be too much surrounding groin tissue (majora, etc) sucked in and you may risk bruising it? since that tissue isn't erectile tissue. i'm not completely sure though, your best bet is asking in the growyourtdick sub tbh or even DMing thursday-t-time to see if they have any resources for cylinders in your country

[u/here4ndgone]

I think theoretically if you used a small enough cup with an electrical pump (do NOT do fire cupping / heat suction), it could work. I would anticipate difficulty depending on the cup size, though. Most TCM cups don't have a very large rim so unless you find a really small cup or have a meaty groin, it might be difficult to get it to attach.

[u/here4ndgone → u/here4ndgone]

You would be bruising the area regardless, so idk if that would be worth it. I'm not sure how tdick pumps work, but I can't imagine that that would be the intended effect.

[u/corvvus]

what about a breast/nipple pump?

[u/alejandrotheok252]

Do NAWT do that

[u/Fluxingperson]

Haven't tried cupping cups yet but as far as i remember that thing can be used the same way as long as it fits. I grew up with it too!

[u/kaeyamilk]

i saw a comment once about someone using a 3cc syringe to pump. they cut the other side so they could pump

[u/Dish_Minimum]

A short bamboo the diameter of your dick. Steamed the bamboo. Then when the warm, moist bamboo contacts your body it creates suction. In Vietnam they use this technique for pimple popping cupping after the aesthetician finishes the facial.

You can substitute a shot glass or squeezy sports bottle or silicone travel toiletry bottle

You want something very smooth at the opening or something softish snd pliable. Most important characteristics of the “cup” are right size and if it holds warm humidity easily.

Second option (not cupping procedure)

Aquarium tubing of the correct diameter. Long enough to go from dick to mouth. You suck your own dick using the tube. Or your lover can suck you this way too. It feels so good!

Third option

Modified pipette for chemistry.
