How are you adding a gauge to your VED?

Postby dvdvdv » Mon Dec 15, 2025 10:38 pm

Hello, New here. Lurking for a while. Long story short 25+ years ED. Tired of the grind, injections not working, starting a Super Trimix now but ready to consider an IPP Implant and be done.

Have penile atrophy, lost about a full inch in length from my younger days, girth too but unknown measurement.

Scheduled a visit with my urologist to ask about implant surgery or a referral if they do not do them.

Interested in starting a rehabilitation pumping routine to gain what size back I can (if any). 6” erect now from 7” as a teenager last time I measured. I am 63 now, prostate issues, TURP surgery.


I am seeing the big name medical grade VED’s recommended all over but it seems they have NO GAUGES, even though one is highly recommended for rehab pumping for repeatability.

How is everyone modifying, pics please? Seems like it would make the whole outfit cumbersome.

EDIT: Have done further reading and it seems for rehabilitation pumping that a non-medical grade VED is fine. Looking at LELUV.

Welcome dvdvdv. If going ahead with an implant I suggest being very selective and finding a good surgeon with a lot of experience and success in doing them. Correct, you don't need an expensive medical grade VED for rehab/pre-implant preparation. Initially I used a Vacurect medical grade device, which I had bought as a last resort for sex after all other conservative ED treatments had failed. But I also used an old sex toy pump that I had for years, and that was just as effective for the purpose. Yes, many (all?) of the medical grade pumps don't have pressure gauges so you have to use your own judgement. Or retro fit a gauge - I didn't bother. I hadn't seen the LELUV pumps previously but they look pretty good. I really like the model with extra wide flange at the base, which should help prevent having your balls sucked into the tube. Trust me, you don't want that ( :shock: ouch!).
