I started out using a syringe system but rather than have a bulb pump to increase the pressure I just had a tube through which I sucked the air out...sure it did get a little hard to have to keep sucking all the time but it was effective for starting out and convincing myself I needed to spend the money on something a little more professionally made. What I bought was a clitoris cylinder (and pump) but found this to be uncomfortable as there was no flanging at the bottom, just straight up and down, also it wasn't very big. My next purchase was an LA foreskin cylinder, unfortunately I can't remember the size but am sure it would be comparable to Boston Pumps foreskin cylinder measuring 1 1/2" x 5". This I found to be a much better suited size and though it isn't easy to maintain pressure as I can't seem to create an airtight suction I just keep pumping to keep the pressure up. The length I can reach whilst within the cylinder is approximately 2/3 the length of the cylinder itself this will naturally be less once I remove the cylinder. Overall the growth I get from this (once cylinder is removed) is fan-bloody-tastic. Not only do I get obvious length but also substantial girth so much so that my penis looks to be just a very short bio dick. Having said that, I can't guarantee anyone will gain the dimensions that I do simply because of the pressures I pump and the duration I sustain that pressure, this would naturally be greater than that of a beginner. Nor would it necessarily match those of an experienced pumper as we are all individuals who can/cannot tolerate discomfit to whatever degree and length of time. Most importantly if you do choose to pump, listen to your body, if it's crying out in pain remove the cylinder immediately resting yourself at least until the next day. Also as was mentioned in Aaron's film clip please be mindful of the length of time you are pumping, more than 45 mins can cause serious long term injury to your penis just as too much pressure can. Remember, this is your biological penis, whether you enhance it via meta or phalloplasty at some date in the future (or not) is a good enough reason to protect it, so you may still have the opportunity of possibly having the added pleasure it may give through these future surgeries.

It's a strong hormone, hard to get and expensive, therefore I don't think there's much reason to use it for hair growth and voice changes---testosterone and time should take care of that.
