Just got the Hydromax7 based on some user recommendations after being dissatisfied with another pump. My goal is better circulation in conjunction with LiSWT so not really PE but better performance.

Problem on first use was it seemed way too wide (yes I followed the guide), and tries to suck in my testes or the loose skin around the base (grower, not a shower). I'm getting suction but it doesn't feel anywhere near other devices I've used. I'm barely clearing the end of the sleeve so pretty sure I'm not getting the max impact. Should I experiment with taking out the sleeve ? Feels like I'm pushing way too hard against my pubic area. Advice appreciated.
