Just got a silicone seal for the mouth of the tube

I have a Pos T Vac system and had to work with my doctor to get one large enough to accommodate my girth.
This is actually my second unit. I went to my urologist for the first unit and they had a person doing demos and writing down information to be sent off to the pump company. The guy demo-ing it to me did not look at my anatomy but demoed on his shirt and fingers. I understood the process, but I was very unhappy with the pump that I received -- I completely filled the tube. Not bragging, just saying. Nevertheless I used it for a while on and off.
I went to the urologist again to schedule another procedure and as part of this was told that I'd receive a pump. "I already have one from you guys." The office then instructed me to bring my existing unit to my appointment.
Upon seeing my "old" pump, inside diameter about 2.25", my urologist immediately asked me how I'd ever been able to use it. "With a lot of lube." was my answer. He immediately went back to his store room and brought out one where the tube was about 3" in diameter. He said this was an appropriate size for me and made me show him that it would work for me and that I had sufficient room in the cylinder.
One thing I noticed right away was the squared off edge of the cylinder 'poked' my skin at the pubic area above my cock and the scrotum beneath. In talking with guys on here, I learned that you can get a "Silicone Pump Sleeve" that will not only help with the seal (I wax/shave so that's not really an issue) but also cushion the unforgiving edge of the tube as it pokes my tender flesh.
I just tried it out and all I have to say is the new combination of fat pipe and silicone cushion is WONDERFUL.
Don't give up! the right combination of hardware for your anatomy is possible!
