Bathmate Hydro for 40 Males

I had an amazing erection this morning when I woke.
I have cut back on the boosters I have been taking. I pretty much have only been taking the Horny Goat Weed for the last two days, which I think is a low Mg.

BvckWood, currently I am only doing light jelqing after a session. Just enough to the blood moving around.
I do a separate jelqing session later in the day, with some light bends and stretches.

DoReyMe, it is interesting you bring the air pump up. I started with an air pump and really felt like it pulled at my penis, it definitely got my penis rock hard.
The Bathmate doesn’t have that effect at all. Don’t get me wrong, I can feel the Bathmate working on my girth, but I don’t see it doing anything with immediate EQ.
I am thinking about buying another air pump and alternating between the two pumps.

Taking the day off today.

I’ve decided to take a couple days off.

My little buddy is a little sore so I figured I’d let me heal all the way up.

For results I would incorporate other things such as clamping or jelqing to the pumping.

Bjornbjorn, thanks for the tip.
I do jelqing and some simple stretches.

I started pumping again yesterday.
I realized that I may have been using the pump incorrectly.
There is a beveled end that I have been turning to my testicles, and the flat end towards my pubic area.
Yesterday I switched it up and used the flat end toward my testicles and beveled end toward my public area.
The reason I did this is that I noticed that I wasn’t getting very long sessions. While using it with the beveled end toward my testicles my penis would get a purplish color to it within a short period of time.
I kept a close eye on my penis and would remove it if I seen any discoloration.
Last night I still got the purplish color (not as bad) but I was able to stay in the tube for a longer period of time.
Is the purplish color expected?
I also noticed that when I took my penis out there were imprints of the bellow on the base of my penis.
I am not “packed” in the tube as of yet, I assume this is a good sign of expansion at the base.

My my penis length seems to be getting further up the length measuring indicator since I have started this, but I have changed how I use it as well.
It’s not up to what I would consider my official erect length, but it is getting there.
I have been trying to use it at an 80% erection rate compared to when I stated when I would go in flaccid.
When I go in flaccid I am usually anywhere between 14 to 15 cm mark, but when at 80% it gets around to the 16 to 16.5 mark.
I am not sure how the penis would increase length because I don’t feel it pulling on the ligament that hold the penis.
I am hoping my stretches help with that, I’m only looking for 1/2 inch in growth with length.
Most of the time when I make my wife orgasm I only have about 3 inches in her anyway, so length isn’t all that important to me.

I’ll measure next week some time to see if there are any differences.
Physically I don’t really get that “wow” factor when I take my penis out of the tube, so I am thinking that I am just use to seeing my penis at that size.
We will see if that changes since I have flipped the tube.

I did have sex with my wife last night after I got rid of all the cock blockers (kids).
It did feel tighter going in, and I had an amazing orgasm.

I haven’t even read the other post by people on this thread. Do yourself and wife a favor leave the the boosters alone and see your primary care physician and get on testosterone replacement therapy. Your quality of life will go up ten fold fuck the bubbly feelings you’ll feel like you did when in your 20s. Follow a healthy style of living and all will fall in place. Best of luck.

DAY 19

A couple days ago during my break I decided to stop taking all the boosters.
I had a pumping session around lunch time when I took a shower (I work from home).
This session seemed different than the others. I felt a little fuller than before, and I was able to stay in the pump longer without discoloration.
Since I don’t use the comfort sleeve I noticed I had rings from the bellow all around the very base of my penis.
I think tomorrow I’ll use the sleeve.

I also had a short jelqing sessions a little while ago, and again my penis reacted very well and felt fuller.

Hmmm, I would have thought the opposite. How are yoiu T level without T boosters?

Iceman67, they seem to be doing well.

My libido seems to be up as well, maybe I just needed a kick start?

I’ve been having a health erection every morning as well.

Had a good session today.

I used the comfort sleeve and really couldn’t tell you if it made any difference, although I believe I felt a little more pressure.

I think what I am experiencing is my penis getting use to the pumping, and me figuring out exactly what pressure to be at.

Day 22

I took yesterday off.
I was able to pump today, and felt like I had a good session.
Penis felt fuller, and longer after session.
I have decided not to measure until Day 30.

Day 25,

Over the weekend I took Saturday off, and pumped on Sunday.
I really wanted to get a full 30 days in before I gave any kind of real review, but currently I have to say I am unhappy with the BathMate.
I do see the benefits of pumping and jelqing, and I have had some positive experiences with doing these things.
If there is someone out there that is using the BathMate and getting positive results in a safe way, please share some insight.
I am getting more and more concerned about the safety of this device.
I am considering switching to a device with a gauge, but I honestly don’t even know where to start.

I’ve had my BM for two years. I cannot say I have had great gains but it has made my flaccid nice and full. The drawback is no gauge, so I’ve injured myself few times. Nowadays, I use a vacuum pump at 5-7hg. Based on feel, I know how much pressure to use with BM. My routine is vacuum pump three times a week and BM on the weekends.

Oh btw, my vacuum pump is from Le Luv.

Day 40,

I haven’t given up on the BM yet.
My computer crashed and I had to replace it, so that is why it took so long for this post.

I noticed during todays session that the bellow on the BM didn’t seem as hard to compress.
I also noticed that I was getting half to and inch more of my penis in the cylinder when the bellow was compressed.
I am not seeing any leakage and it still seems to be providing good suction.

Last week I did go to my doctor to have blood work done.
I specifically requested having my testosterone tested, but I had pretty much everything checked.
Of course my doctor goes on vacation this week, so I have to wait until she gets back to go over the results.
Based on what I am seeing all my other blood work is within reasonable levels.
The testosterone levels confuse me though. The report indicates it is fine, but a bunch of other sites indicate that it could be low.
The test itself tested different aspects of my T levels, and the other levels seem to be fine.
Guess I have to wait for the Doc to understand all this.

When you get your results, make sure she tested the following (see below). You need the big picture to make an accurate diagnosis. If she says you’re within the limits (300-1200) but under 500, I’d see a different doctor. Not many doctors understand T, they just use an old outdated scale designed for 18-75yo and it’s not broken down by age. If you want more T info just PM me, again.
