Question About Pumping.


Guest Keane

I'm pre-T and I got a feeding syringe for birds/small animals today to make into a pump, since I might be getting hormones soon-ish. It's a 10mL syringe, I would have gotten a slightly bigger one for feeding puppies, but I think I might be able to use this for a while before I outgrow it, but I just wanted to double check here. And if anyone could give me tips for cutting the squirty-end off of it, that would be great.

Yeah, the bird/hamster feeder syringe did not work. Never thought I'd be able to say this, but.... it's too small for me. XD There goes my $4. Anyone know where I could get a proper sized syringe?

This may be the least helpful reply I've ever written but here goes!

I saw something a while ago on youtube. Someone gave info on the best way to saw the end off, where they got theirs and what it was used for.

So try a youtube search and see what you get out of it?

I'll do some searching again to see if I can come across it but I found the indo via lots of random clicking about so you might find the info faster then I can.

I volunteer at a hospital and I got a feeding Syringe, What I did was take the plunger out, and cut off the end that had the tip thingy, with a knife. I put the plunger back in through that end, so I could have the open non-jagged even end put on that area...

Not worthy of its own thread I don't think but a bit of a tangent: I saw a youtube video someone did where they bought like a pumping kit, which came with 3 different size pumps. they have to be assembled somehow, i think it comes with instructions though. anyone know where you can get one of these?

clarification: the kit was more "trans-sized", they weren't like the regular penis pumps that the starting ones are way too big for our purposes. the first one was real small.

Hmmmm.....

Well, first, the only "syringe type" thing I've ever seen that might be big enough is one I saw that was for injecting marinade -yep on food. It was about an inch across and like I said, even that might be too narrow, esp once you are on T. I actually saw it at a dollar store though, so those of you who want to jump start and all, thats a cheap resource. That being said, rethinking where you look for stuff might be in order; tools /syringes for culinary areas might yield results.

If anyone wants the name of a site that actually makes multisizes of cylindars though, I do have one. PM me. The cylindars can be bought "a la carte" and you could add whatever pump you wish/find/have. The price range was approx 40bucks per cylinder. Standard shapes just like the "typical" cylindar just other sizes.

The syringes I used are here: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3215779

the picture provided is a really small one, but there are two other pictures you can mouse over... you're probably looking for the middle one (35cc) but maybe the biggest (60cc). I pretty much just walked into a petsmart and found all three of them, so you can either do that or be really smart and call ahead to find out about availability.

Since they have that finger thing up top that I didn't like, I sawed off the end with my pocket knife blade (which is serrated, any steak knife works well) and then covered the opening with duct tape. basically I took a strip about half the width of a roll of duct tape (make a tear in the middle, then keep the other side down as you pull), stuck half of its width around the inside of the tube, and then folded it over the edge.

Can I ask specifically what the pumping is about here?

The pumping in question is ftm neo-phallic. Some doctors recommend it in conjunction with genital-specific topical testosterone prescription who perform ftm bottom surgery the metoidioplasty in particular.

(Btw, let the above be a lesson to you fellows, you can say it if you can say it technical enough :rolleyes: )

There are those who (of course) argue that if such pumping were "productive", natal males would have increased their sizes to proportions extraordinary. However there are those others (and maybe there is a type of productivity that is ftm specific?) who advocate if not some increase as the result of mere stretching then by exercise and the increase of blood flow to the area. The increase in circulated blood in particular seems (to me ) to be of most likelihood in regard to ftms since it is being done during a timeperiod when the testosterone in system is taking that tissue through a growth stage. I guess thats why I speculate on it being ftm specific; the natal male has already typically finished growth due to hormone by the time pumping enters his life.

Why not just go to any sex shop or site that sells adult toys where they have pumps that are designed for that part of anatomy? No sharp edges. I realize they are designed with a different purpose in mind, altho some are advertised as lengthening and enlarging tools, but it would seem to be more logical and less chance of injury.

The majority (depending on how cosmopolitan it is where you live) of walk in places either are fitted to a standard penis (way to large) or other body parts that are far too small. Although they may "work" for a non-trans female bodied person on the genitalia, very often (esp taking into consideration that many tguys pre-hrt have some higher t levels than those peeps) tend to be "past" that size early on. Once testosterone hrt enters the picture, often they are "way too large " for one option while being "too small " for the other. HOWEVER there are companies (most easily found online) that can hit those in-between sizes.

So you don't think pumping is legit for natal males? :huh: I was actually considering, if ever in the future I can get a full male set of organs, that I'd be pumping anyway. I'm a bit ambitious I suppose :P

the jury is out and split on that. Some natal guys who do it (bear in mind we're talkin regular pumping , either natal or trans ) say they saw gain. But I haven't heard one where the gain was more than around an inch. An inch though to a trans guy can be the difference between clearing the front of your trousers to urinate or not.

      lol Now logarithmic is a word I haven’t heard since I was in High School in the mid 60s. @Mirrabooka.  We used to use logarithms to be able to do higher level math.  Of course this was before calculators,  we also used slide rules.  The first personal calculators that were capable of more than more than simple math cost hundreds of dollars.  And only came out in the mid 70s.   Today you carry a very capable computer in your pocket or even on your wrist.

      Welcome to this community, @BLACKSPARKLES. Despite the loss you've experienced, it sounds like you've also made a lot of progress. Do you desire community in real life? If so, there are measures you can take and investigation you can do. Breaking out of a solitary existence can be very intimidating and nerve-wracking, but extremely rewarding beyond imagination. You did not share details of your health challenges, but presuming you have much life yet to live, just consider that it's never ever too late to start living in a different way. That is, if it's your desire. Please forgive me for any presumption. Much love.

      On a side note.  Since i've had some issues with the undies I decided to keep a bra on to be atleast expressive until I can resolve the problem.  I've learned I love wearing a bra and will def incorporate this into my attire (I present as male).  Thanks all again for the wonderful suggestions!!!
    • Amy Powell
      Thank you all for the suggestions. These are all avenues I can explore. I appreciate greatly!!!

      No. I am not at peace. I am going through an awful emotional season at this part of my transition.    I am so grateful to have a therapist to talk to.    I am SO very grateful for you all and this space. Especially at this time.    Thank you.    -Timi

      Hey Hey!!!!! Everyone!!!     What an exhilarating year thus far...!!   Its Goin Good for me just anticipation as I open up more through this Transitioning process is Scary, Fun, Exciting, Unknown, Accomplished, and well Wanted more than I ever could have thought at this point into HRT....   I hope this year for you is your best to!  Its bare minimum exciting every day and my drive as Stacie has picked up pace interestingly!!!! I came out first to my two sisters right before the new year started. It was actually right after Christmas 2023. I didn't plan when and how to come out to someone I was close to, I opened up and told them, and it just happened...  My emotions got the best of me and well, I spilled the beans as they say.    I told another sister of mine shortly thereafter but she was already asking questions. And the 3 Sisters that know what I am doing support me 100% There are things I heard other Trans people describe in their process of HRT that I didn't get at the time but now I know where they were coming from, and HRT is literally more life changing than I ever realized........And It's AWESOME!!   But I do think as Transition takes place it does affect others around you not only family but especially in the workplace and that is challenging in itself to address and how to take care of that kind of observational awareness so to speak.   Although at this point now my job I do believe knows or suspects something is up like they may be thinking I'm transgender, I have my evaluation with them coming up and I'm somewhat worried that they're going to ask me, which is fine but will hit me like a ton of bricks or I may need to tell them at this point if they don't plan to ask me. Which is not necessarily something I want to do just yet. I hope it doesn't cost me my job. But I am getting to a point that being one person at work and another outside of it is getting harder to do and mentally draining me... Not to mention I don't want to be this male type of person I was before as it was killing me.    I mean my hair is getting very long, It was short and spiked I should say when I first became employed here my current job, and recently I left for a short trip in the first week of May and had such a blast and a wonderful time with family, But I came back with my hair dyed some makeup on and my face looking Fleek!!,,, and sporting my girl styled sunglasses coming into work because it was so difficult to go back to who the staff has known me as, that's how far I have come in such a year that I literally don't feel like this male person I was before and I do believe it shows? The past couple weeks it has been sort of different in the building to. I mean not that it's a bad thing just seems different around my boss and other staff. Hopefully I am just over thinking it..   I have observed for months now how the staff moves around me and even caught some conversation pieces that were about me being possibly Transgendered... Although I can only assume though and Assume I will, I do care and love my job, And I care about those around me, and I just want to be O.K.  The way I want to live my life seems right to me and that's just how I'm going to do it. And I have to do it as Stacie, Period! I get all praise from my co-workers and that there so grateful to have me apart of this team so I guess I shouldn't worry.    But I have been operating as Stacie more mentally with this outer male type of disguise as I have seen it looking back and that kind of scares me. They don't know that person from the inside to the outside yet. How is that going to go over when I start to dress like I want to and fully embrace myself at work finally and just let it all out, you know what I mean??   I know I am still coming out, outwardly and with who I am and have been on the inside sense I was little, and its like an integration re-learning some things again, and aligning my mind set with my altered Biology as much as I can, and it is staying completely stable for once in my life.   Maybe coming out will always be just that, Coming out over and over again. Though I am sure I will get to a point where it's just my way of life no biggie, Like, Hi I'm Stacie how are you etc., Observe from time to time how life was before I transitioned etc...  I know I'll get there, somewhere eventually. But coming out in a workplace which is my livelihood is a little scary to say the least. Thats a Big step IMO. But here I go and No matter what happens I'm all in!! I mean I am a lot more open than I will give myself credit for, I just hope I don't make people feel awkward, But I can't control others' emotions or views, So I'll keep doing just me!!   Anyways I could go on and talk for hours on how almost half the year has been and what I did but it would be a novel... I plan to share more of my experience with you though. Like post more testimonial, my life's journey etc.   I do Love though to read your Lifes journeys more.    In the meantime, all the Best in your Life Adventure, go out and enjoy it, who cares what anyone else has to say about it, I've actually been surprised at the response I have gotten going out in public fully presenting as Stacie H.   Don't let the world bring you down and be who you are, Remember you're not alone!                                                                                                                                                           Hope to See You Out There!!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Stacie H.

      Sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. These are my go-tos for those times.    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQD51FSH?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details   Funny thing is that Reebok mens briefs look more like panties than Reebok women's hipsters (which are also one of my favs. Vanity Fair Body Caress Hi Cuts being my absolute favorites).    -Timi
