My Thoughts on the Bathmate After 2 Years.

Do the Deed? Sex? :D

As for the pulling, excessive vacuum, bruising and discoloration, I just pushed past it and now it seems like all I get is just a nice pinkish color after a heavy pumping session. The warm-up helps a lot to reduce bruising. I REALLY get it hot in the shower, I mean HOT. Takes time to get up to that, but it’s worth it, IMO. I really push most exercises, TG is telling me I need to back off a bit and monitor PI more. I’m gonna do it the Forum Accepted Way, if it KILLS ME!!! :rofl:

Is there really any difference between a hydromax and a regular tube with hand pump … I have pumped water thru a mityvac repeatedly hasn’t damaged its ability to pull vac

Don’t know the new ones but I own a Hercules and a Thickwall with water trap. Both work pretty much the exact same way, just that the Goliath is more comfy but the Thickwall has a gauge.

I prefer the Goliath for comorty but the Thickwall is more flexible, as in, I can airpump and it’s easier to change pressure (once you release pressure on the Bathmate it’s more difficult to pressure up again in one session).

If it does, you likely just need to redo the seals and o-rings. Might need to buy a kit for that.

I was saying water pumping with the mityvac has cause no damage to it…

I was asking if the bathmate had reinvented the wheel

The experienced pumpers all seem to dismiss the BM pump as a limited use, entry level unit. I also do, for several reasons.
1. No Gauge
2. Limited Vacuum Production Ability (imo)
3. Gimmicky Design
4. Cost is HIGH! I got started in pumping for very little Ca$h, just go online and get a cheap hand vac unit with a gauge.
I have always improvised with tubes, but I hear there are some cheaper eBay tubes out there. But a good quality tube
is not that bad, around the price of a Bath Mate, mate! :D

OK, had some sex with wifey last night with some very good results.

FIrst thing she said when she felt it was “Nice and hard”. Then, upon insertion she let out a big “Whoa! Let me get used to that being in there!” BTW, she did not know I was using the BM unit until I told her this morning when we had a conversation about the whole thing.

These things are great to hear. I have been fighting EQ quality problems since starting the blood pressure meds. I have been on the Bathmate for a couple orf weeks now, 3-4 times per week and I am pretty happy with the size and hardness so far.

That’s all for now.

Cool Stuff, VVC ;)
You really got her attention! :D

Vvc Stats?

I have nothing but good things to say about my X40, works like a charm.

In the beginning before I knew how to use it and my body hadn’t adjusted to pumping I had a lot of fluid build up, but nowadays I almost never have it.

I think it is important that all who plan on buying a BM know how to use it safely especially if you’re fairly new to PE. The website recommends 15min which is definitely safe.. Also, I personally found that 15min straight with the pump at about 80% pressure was a bit much so I actually did 3 sets of 5-6min with the pump on at About 90% (1 pump away from full pressure) and re-pump every few minutes to maintain good pressure (be aware of the difference between pain and pressure on your dick). In between my sets I would simply do some light stretching for 10-15seconds just to get the blood flowing which reduces bruising and I noticed I was getting gains faster (I also jelqed 10min prior to the BM) and needed less rest days because I wasn’t over training but at the same time getting the pump I needed. ALSO I can’t stress enough how IMPORTANT warmup/warm down is.. 5-8min of warm up/warm down is crucial and you definitely want to go into the pump ERECT - it is safer and you get a better pump. Again, 15-20-30 minutes straight with the bathmate on is dangerous for beginners especially because your dick needs circulation. Everyone is different though, but if you are nervous and new to the BM or if you have been using it and it has been causing uncomfortable pressure then try out this routine and see how it works for you. I will probably aim to do 2 sets of 10min with the bathmate eventually but for now safer is better.

I might sound a bit over the top with safety but if you’re trying to gain size, busted blood vessels and an over stressed dick will be counterproductive .. Cheers!

Good Advice!

I’d just love to know how much vacuum it can generate… I always used to overdo it, even with a gauge!

With a bathmate x40 I find it hard to over do it cause your limited by the device itself… i have an xtreme model and i dont use the hand ball pump aspext never thought I would be a bathmate user I use it before as a warm up

Only read until page6, but I have a few words to say. So far, I have used it for almost 3 months. But I don’t see any results. I’m prone to believe some of the posts are made by BM manufacture. They do good marketing. Anyway, after 3 month of use, I start to question it. Especially after I watched their ADS on YouTube. Everyone who has been doing PE should know flaccid length after PE doesn’t mean too much. However, this company keeps bragging about the flaccid length after months of usage. Yet, it can’t provide any hard evidence, like the difference of erection size.

P.S. I think the author who used “we” in his thread is hired by the company

I saw no “we” inclusive of the BM company, but I only checked the last 2 pages. Why don’t you just quote the post in question?

I used to be a big fan of supplements, and was thought to maybe be a sales rep, but no one could really pin down a brand :rofl: I used them a lot, but was never connected to a company. I used a wide variety and can’t tell you any single thing did very much. I used a lot of single ingredient stuff, those seem to do the most, IMO.

I think a good cylinder with a pump and gauge is the best bet for any serious pumper, Period!
