Bathmate Help

Hi guys,

I’ve been using the Bathmate for about a month now, but I’m running into a few difficulties. I’ve taken the wisdom of more experienced Bathmate users on board, and done by best to take it easy, avoid using too much pressure, and generally easing my gear into a routine.

However, I’m finding this balance very hard to manage. I often feel discomfort reaching my EL. Moreover, when I am pumping to my EL ( about 17.5cm), I can’t stay at that pressure too long, as donuts become a real problem. I’ve take days off pumping to allow my penis time to recover, but as soon as I get back into it the problem persists. To make matters worse, I have quite a pronounced downward curve to my penis, so I often find my frenulum rubbing against the side of the tube, which is quite painful. I’m unsure if lube/vaseline will be able to make a noticeable difference to that.

At the moment, my pumping routine is; 100 seconds of 1/4 erect length, 200 seconds of semi-erect length, 200 seconds 3/4 erect length, 200 seconds erect length, 100 seconds 105% erect length, finishing with 200 seconds 3/4 erect length. I go in the tube flaccid.

Any advice guys?

Yeah, I have no idea where you got this “length based” routine, but it is complete garbage. Chuck it. Warm up your dick, possibly in the Bathmate, under hardly any vacuum for five to ten minutes, Then do any stretching you want to do, then put the Bathmate on, and follow the manufacturers instructions. Gradually pump up, repumping every two to five minutes if you feel it is needed. This whole routine of counting X amount of seconds at some percentage of erect length is crazy, and one of the strangest, worst things I’ve seen. It is no wonder you’re getting donuts. Listen to your dick, not a stopwatch and the length gauge.

Listening to my dick is what I thought I was doing. By gradually increasing the pressure (using the length of my dick as a rough indicator of pressure, as the Bathmate obviously has no gauge) I figured it would allow me to reach EL without straining my unit, because its incremental. In that case, when is a repump “needed” when doing a routine?

Raybbaby is right,,and he has MORE than enough experience with the BM.

I have been using mine for a few months now and I love it !.If your conditioned, using it shouldn’t cause you any pain.

Don’t bother with any measuring while your in the tube.Just go in hard and pump it up.

As far as the donuts go, it happens,but don’t sweat it.They always go away.

Alright, thanks man.

Sorry for the double post, but I still haven’t quite worked out what to do about my curve problem. In an attempt to reduce the pressure being put on my underside, I place the BM lower down, so that the topside of my penis is almost rubbing the tube. Whilst this does seem to help somewhat, by mounting the BM this low my balls are getting squeezed (quite painfully) at higher pressures, as the BM tries to suck my whole package in. Should I simply ignore the discomfort? Numerous people have said BM’s can alleviate curves, is this simply the process?

By the way ray/snake, thanks for the advice re: workout, I went in hard today and only pumped when my cock felt like it was ready for it, donuting was minimal and I got to a useful pressure without any pain.

That’s the way to do it. You will feel when you can give it another pump. I have a slight, and only slight upward curve, so I cannot give you any advice on that problem.

I have a bit of a downward curve, but not so much that I feel any rubbing inside the tube.

I did read that pumping might get rid of a curve, but I don’t think its going to do anything in my case.

For the record, I HATE my curve !!!!!

If the BM truly removed any curves, I would buy 10 of them.

I have a prominent upward curve, I’ve been called a banana by pretty much every woman I’ve ever been with. I use the Bathmate daily, and cannot use it hard. I have to go in semi hard. If I go in hard, the head is smashed against the top of the tube. I think using the Bathmate for length will just disappoint you. I’ve been using it for 2-3 months, and it’s quite a great tool. As a man whose girth slopes naturally, I’ve noticed that it’s making my girth more even along the length. I bought the Bathmate in hopes that it would make the outer 3-4 inches of my dick bigger.

As for pressure, I usually pump up to like 80% when starting out. I do 15 minute sets with lukewarm/cold water in the tube to help prevent discoloration. DO NOT FORGET TO DO STRETCHES AND AT LEAST 50 JELQS BEFORE USING THE BATHMATE!! I believe that using the Bathmate without stretching or jelqing first is a waste of time.

Hi Guys, Did you find improvements with BATHMATE ?

Thanks

I am a big fan of Bath Mate and can tell you much on the subject. It will conflict with much of what you hear on this site. It has worked beautifully for me and in a short period of time.
I do not have time to respond with details but I will soon. Stay in touch with me. Good info for good results! Much of what you are doing is not a good approach.

started w/ hercule BM since mid July 2013

After 2 weeks I do BM ea morning, session of 20/30 mn

I get good seal after now a 2nd attempt (out the tub I insist)

I already see girth improvement EVEN during the day. I feel results, heavier dick, ready to grow….amazing results of course after session!

Again I use lube on my dick for prior jelking and during pause. On BM scale I was at 140, 150 et 160 (real 17 cm). I’m sure for a long period should also get lenght!

patience and lesson your dick. No secondary effects only the skin when removal the BM

please share! I need/we need to progress

I got 170 on BM scale today….

after 49 days session (monday+Tuesday, Wed+Thur. off +friday & saterday and sunday off =4 days a week)

semi erect in the tube I reach 180/182 cm on scale; 170 cm real erect: gained 5 mm lenght vs PE alone

girth: 4.5 cm mid shaft and 5.5 cm base shaft. Moved from 4.10 cm to 4.5 cm EG regular erect.

I notice a light discoloration of my dick when flaccid; temporary donuts

I do jelk between tube session, cycles of 3, 5 or 10 mn.

Reals change

Goal real 180 cm EL consistent, if girth increase too I take it

I don’t get the skin discoloration thing you guys are talking about.

My skin color has changed a little , but now my shaft just looks like I have been

Tanning a little, and that’s no big deal, my cock(along with the rest of me) looks

Better with a nice tan ;-)
