A Guide to Determine

Your

Correct Cylinder Size

 

Please note: Our tube diameters are measured in millimetres. The size given in inches is the nearest equivalent. Please measure carefully and if you have any questions ask before placing an order. For hygiene reasons, once cylinders have been used, they cannot be returned unless they have a manufacturing fault.

How to size your cylinder:- Standard Cylinders


If you want to pump just your cock, measure by wrapping string or dressmakers tape around the base of the shaft of your cock when erect. Divide that length by 3.14 and the result will be the diameter of your cylinder. If you choose the next nearest diameter larger it allows for expansion. For example

  • If you measured 5.5"(140mm), 5.5 / 3.142 = 1.75"diameter (140 / 3.142 = 45mm diameter) you would need a 2" cylinder.
  • If you measured 6"(150mm), 6 / 3.142 = 1.9"diameter (150 / 3.142 = 47mm diameter) you would need a 2 1/4" cylinder because a 2" cylinder would not allow for expansion.

Don't order a cylinder that is much larger than you require when starting out, as it will not work as well and you'll either get fed up and give up, or you'll end up buying another cylinder! Tube length should be at least 3 inches longer (75mm) than your measurement. So if you have measured 5" (125mm) or 6"(150mm) long, get a 9"(230mm) long tube. If you have measured 8"(200mm) an 11"(280mm) or even 12" (300mm) cylinder would be wise.

If you plan on using a standard cylinder for cock and balls, then use the above guide but grab your cock and balls in your hand and wrap the string or dressmakers tape around them.

How to size your starting cylinder:- Two Stage Cylinders


Two stage cylinders are not as easy to measure as standard ones, but this guide below should help. Cup your erect cock and balls together. Measure by wrapping string or tape around both cock and balls. Calculate the diameter as above & add 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch(10 to 20mm). This will give the approximate measurement for the 1st stage, the second stage as listed in the current product range should then be big enough.


Make sure that that the entrance will be wide enough to get out of after pumping!!!
