I’ve only used it two days in a row and you can already tell the difference. I have an amazing partner who enjoys my anatomy and pumping definitely helped with my dysphoria and sensation. It was WOWZA!! For reference, I’m a transgender male that has been on testosterone for five years now. I thought my bottom growth was done but thank goodness for this product! I found the three tube sizes to be a great option. The first night I was struggling to keep it pumped enough to fill the smallest tube and by the second night, I was filling the tube and everything. No lie, I don’t see anyone looking for bottom growth to regret this purchase. I can’t wait to use the bigger tubes. I’ve never felt happier with my junk LOL." —Armand Goldman
