If you are already using the smallest ring supplied with your pump, maybe you can contact the manufacturer to see if they make a smaller one. The function of the ring is to hold the blood in the penis after the pump is removed in order to sustain the erection.

But, trying for the results of $450 (retail) device of any kind with a $29.99 (retail) device will almost never work. You might want to search for that $450 device on eBay. I've heard of people getting them for almost half. >I am recovering from stageII radical prosate removal 41 yr.s old and > prescribed Cialis and pump.I am acheving eection while pump is > activated and along w/ring but after removal of pump the blood > releases.If there is a achieved erection can you use a tighter ring or > something that is safe and maintain same erection as when tube is > on??.Chip Get a bag of those little hair ties used for ponytails and such. It's cloth covered elastic rings. They stretch alot and are disposable. Look for the really tiny ones. I got a bag of multicolored ones at the .99 cent store. There's enough in the bag for a lifetime!

If you have only one ring, then you have a different system and possibly insufficient for your needs.

I have found that the pump is not as important as the Rings. For the rings to really work, they must fit tight enough to almost be uncomfortable. I have even, in the begining, used two rings of different cicumference. Shaving pubic hair at the base of your penis is also helpful in making a good seal, as well as being liberal with the lubricant. The pump is a really good device, but one must be highly motivated and willing to experiment and practice. It's even possible to develop some sponteniety. Use a larger ring initially to obtain a semi-rigid erection for foreplay activity, and have the pump already to go with a smaller ring to obtain a full erection. This allows for much longer love making sessions without your member turning purple.

Because it's adjustable, you can put it on loose while pumping, then pull it as tight as you need to maintain. HTH, John
