Anybody's input on the bathmate

I think the case here is gauge vs no gauge rather than air vs water.

True there’s no gauge. But I think the way I do it is pretty safe, and I have seen a lot of guys doing it the same way with no complaints.
1) Pump it up for 1 minute or so just gently because at this point you don’t need a lot of force to get the water out.
2) now you are going to feel some resistance when you try to pump. Don’t force it. Leave it like that for 2-3 min.
3) now try pumping, resistance is gone because your penis has expanded and pushed the water up the chamber. This pump feels easy.

Now repeat 1) 2) and 3) a couple of time until you reach a level at which number 3) does not apply I.e. Resistance persists. This is your max stay there 5 min. If you are using longer sessions you can try going above your max should you wish to do so.

For me my max under vacuum is 180 mm so I stop there. I hope this answered your question sufficiently.

I think you are dead right.

It looks like that. I would say the length under vacuum in the water pump can accurately serve the same function of a gauge: More tissue + less water =high pressure. Less tissue (length under vacuum) + more water = low pressure.

Less and more tissue relative to your own size.

Qualitative, but it works just fine. After a couple of sessions I got the hang of it. No problem so far.

No it does not answer my question, your gentle pumping and mine may be distinctly different.

The measure of length is not subjective when there are so many variables, such as water temperature, elasticity of tissue on any given day (which will depend on diet, etc).
You may have a good guess at what is right for you, but guy number two may be more left brain orientated and hence not have your fabulous analytical skills and judgment skills, that’s why we invented gauges and clocks, so we don’t have to guess vacuum levels or time and blow up dicks. The question still stands.

What Hg are you pumping at?

How long would it take to gain 0.5” in girth using the bathmate? Would you have to use it a lot or just when taking a shower with some days being rest days?

Without measurable parameters, your guess is as good as anybodies. :(

I thought I read some were that this bath-mate has a low max hg so you couldn’t hurt your self? I’m sure if you pumped it up to you’re max you can go it would not feel to great after couple minutes ,but I notice there’s a max point with them an you can’t pump higher until you’re tissue expands more.

You probably read that on the Bathmate site, sigh …. advertising, it seems that it is all powerful, above reason. Without a gauge how can you tell what the max Hg is?

That stands for pumping with a gauge also. The effects of a given pressure will not be the same from a day to the next. People always worried that they always should apply the same force - why? You shouldn’t focus on the force, but on the length/expansion you are holding your penis at.

Behemoth” yeah that is the bad part, you don’t now what you’re hg is. I’ve been just staying about a inch from my max in the tube, an focus on how my penis feels .An on the second set I pump up a little more. But never to my max. So far so good. Only been a week though so .

At some point, as with all PE, I trust my own experience over having every aspect quantified and scientifically proven. I fully believe the Bathmate valve does the advertised job of limiting the max pressure based on using it. After a few pumps, it’s virtually impossible for me to physically get it to pump any more to increase the pressure. This was not the case when I tried dynamic pumping with a water pump, where I felt like I could exceed the Bathmate pressure pretty easily. I don’t actually know whether the Bathmate actually helps permanent gains and I seriously doubt it works as well as the company and shill posts claim, but I still find the convenience to be better than nothing.

That’s what I’ve noticed too. You can only pump up to so much then it stops. This is probably why there’s not a gauge on it. All bath-mates sizes have there own pressure limit. An maybe whatever that limit is, its in the safe zone too say. Unlike air pumps its just pump away as high as you can take it.

The max vacuum on the original Hercules and Goliath is 11.8 Hg as they list on the site but so far they haven’t posted the tech specs of X30, X40 or the X30 Xtreme although I know that the X30 and X40 have a bit more than the original models and the Xtreme has more than the X30 and X40.

I also know from experience that it gets progressive tougher to pump as you increase the vacuum more and more (You’d probably have to be a hulk to get the very max).

There is no way guy number two is going to blow up his dick in a pump like that. Unless guy number two’s pain perception is severely compromised, in which case treatment and therapy might be his best option before starting PE; he will feel pain; he will dial it down and stay on a threshold that he will become familiar with in a couple of sessions.

Yes, the system relies on a subjective feedback kind of process which for me, and I’m sure for many others, works like a charm. And I’m sure that your use of gauged pumping is an excellent way to prevent blowing up dicks as well.

What Hg am I pumping at?

I do not know. There is no gauge. The subjective feedback system works fine for me so far.
