Post Bathmate Megaphallus?

I’ve used the bathmate and enjoyed (most) of the effects. The discolouration was the only downside. It gave me my first erection in 15 years after using it for 2 weeks. That was a year ago. I used it fairly consistently for 2 months, got great results and the girth gained was great. I then barely used it. Don’t even really know why. But I got an extender during that time and used that a fair bit for 6 months. During that time I’d occasionally use the bathmate.

But this one time (6 months ago) , I had a long bath, with very warm water. Probably went a bit long in the bathmate, releasing the pressure and repumping up every 5 mins without losing the seal. Maybe 40 mins, I really don’t know. When I usually release the pressure, some of the expansion in my dick would usually die down with the pressure. But this time, it just stayed there, I was pretty much packing the x30 I was using. The base was pretty stuck on when trying to remove it, it came unstuck before any worry. But I was genuinely freaking out, my brain had no idea who’s penis this was. It was massive and hung around for about half hour. Settling in to a very plump flaccid, but also with a donut I never usually get.

Is this the expansion dream or nightmare? As in, is this path to progress or possibly the path to pain? Say that five times quick and let me know haha

Mate, did you continue after this experience? I see you didn’t get much feedback/ not that I could offer any!

I had to have a bit of a break shortly after that happened due to privacy, I’ve gotten similar results, but this was crazy in comparison. It was a hot day and I had a really hot bath, which may have contributed.

Well, got sick of the inconsistent results of the daftmate, and after giving the la pump a solid go in air and heat, and reading avocet8’s thread pumping 101. I’ve decided to pretty much put it back in the box and never think about it.

The LA pump and brake bleeding pump set up is just as easy as the guageless daftmate, only now I’m getting consistent results. I tried the water trap but found it too fiddly, and I like fiddly. Plus it was easy to see I’d eventually get water in the guage as I don’t have a bath. So air + heat it is.

Bathmate gave me results for my ED, but extending gave me better results. My thinking is that it’s a guessing game and it wasn’t improving them 100% of the time. Whereas the andro will be consistent. Like my pumping routine I have now.

Just thought I’d leave this here in case someone was considering getting a bathmate and read my post. Sure I got my genuine x30 for $100 Australian dollars. But the la cylinder and brake bleeding set up was $110. $85 for cylinder $25 for brake bleeding pump with guage. Spend the extra $10.

Go read pumping 101. I’m up to page 90 something. And if half of the people just read the post in stead of asking the same questions, I think it would be 60 pages of pumping gold. Instead of 140 with the same questions being answered on every page.

I am a user and probably a bit more of a fan of the Bathmate. I started with a Hercules back when they only offered two different size pumps. I got a half inch in girth that is permanent, and had to move up to an X40 when the bellows on my Herc were giving me painful red rings around the base. I have not seen any more gains, though I haven’t probably used it consistently enough to expect any. I have also left my penis in the pump, under vacuum for longer than the suggested limit of twenty minutes. I was initially excited by the greater expansion, but quickly realized it is all just lymph fluid that gets between the skin and the tunica, which will not contribute to any real gains. I do have a picture of, and have seen my flaccid, post-Bathmate penis measured at a girth of 6 9/16”, or over 16.5 cm. It was crazy looking, I thought “Whose dick is that?” It was all at once so much bigger than mine had ever been. But I dislike that fat, puffy, sort of bloated look. I know it won’t actually make the penis bigger, but it may stretch the skin out over time, and I don’t want a bunch of loose skin on my penis, so I stopped with those crazy sessions.

I have also bought an air pump with a gauge. I like that there is less mess and less fooling around with it, but I think there is a trade off in my air pump sessions must be twice as long, and I have not yet seen temporary expansion of my penis like I got with the Bathmate. Good luck to you.

I read your entire log/thread and commented a few weeks ago. Was really good reading, and might have been the reason I was sticking with the bathmate haha. I still consider putting the bathmate to use every now and again, just for enjoyment factor.

I remember reading you got gains, congrats dude. I truly believe it gets gains, not for all and it’s not a miracle device that it claims, but it does work done right. It truly is a shocking experience to see that much temporary expansion.

The discolouration from the last few weeks using the bathmate has pretty much gone in the last week of being in the realms of 6”hg max in the la cylinder.
Do you still use it regularly or hard enough to cause any?
Did it hang around with the years of use you’ve had?
Did it bother you enough to find a remedy?
I stuck with it long enough to know it worked and I gained, I only wanted an alternative because of avoiding discolouration.

Bathmate was my introduction to PE just over a year ago, I cannot have bad feelings towards it, within a week and a half of using it quite lightly, I had, what had eluded me for the last fifteen years of my 29 years of existence, an erection, first of many thanks to PE. I literally cried afterwards. No pill has done that for me, not viagra nor cialis, and most certainly not the time I got horny goat weed from the grocery store with my friends when I was 16. “As a joke” I said to my mates with me at the time.

I already had a lot of PE hear that I had gathered over a year or so, but was still experimenting with them. Tired a few things since my return after injury, almost a month now. Settled on plain old air pumping with a guage and some heat, following my taylored version of pumping 101. I don’t use lube at the base, I trim my pubic hair to match the flanged lip of my la cylinder and that seals better in regards to sucking up ball skin. Which due to having naturally large low hangin balls, which i feel can cause a blockage in the flow for my kegels. EQ being my main goal here, gains being a cheeky benefit.

I too have been inconsistent for about 6 months all up, 3 and a bit for privacy and 2 for an almost serious injury.

Thanks for sharing dude. I wish I found this forum a long time ago is all I can say haha.

What sort of routine and pressures are you doing with your air pump? Or have you started a thread on that? I’m pretty bad at navigating this site so far as I’m new here and I also get stuck reading a long ass thread for weeks and then onto the next long ass thread haha worth it though.

I had great results using the Penomet pump which is very similar to the bath mate. I used it very regularly and made gains over two years. And then my gains stopped. I started looking at air pumping and once I tried that my gains took off again and I sure do not miss the discoloration, the donut and all the desensitization I was getting from the bath mate type pump. It’s just too much damn pressure and not good for your dick.

That’s awesome you gained dude, if you could have that two years back, would you still go down the penomet/bathmate road? Or is it something you’d recommend?

Yeah that’s the two reasons I decided that me personally should switch to lower vacuum air pumping, discoloration and the higher pressures of my bathmate.

I use my Bathmate as a warm-up. It is awesome for that. Fill it with warm water, put it on, give it a pump or two, let my dick get nice and warm in there. Then maybe give it a few more pumps up to max vacuum after four minutes, just to expand it as it warms that last minute. The Bathmate is a perfect tool for your warm-up. Then I really just lube up and go into the air pump. Pump it up to around five hg. Every three to five minutes I will run the vacuum up to eight or ten hg, only for about thirty seconds at that vacuum, in hopes of getting maximum penis expansion. Then drop it back to five hg for another five or so minutes. And I do that for about twenty minutes. Haven’t had the time to do any longer sessions unfortunately.

While I’m thinking about it, I recently checked and I bought a LeLuv flared base cylinder (nice) that is 9” by 2.25” in diameter, a 2 foot length of hose with a quick connector from ebay for $50, and a brake bleeder pump with a gauge from my local harbor freight, and that is a top quality air pumping set-up for around $70 total. Which is a good deal cheaper than my x40 Bathmate.

I go for 3 x 5 min sets atm, with releasing the pressure to zero without removing the cylinder and do kegels for 30 seconds if I’m still hard, or light jelqing to get me back to 100%. The most amazing thing for me about air pumping, is the fact I go in at 80% and come out erect 90% of the time, with the help of porn.

I think our set ups would be fairly evenly priced with the conversion.

I have a 8” x 2” cylinder. I expand to just over 7” atm. The 1.75” was the cylinder gbrent advised in his guide, but due to the slight upwards curve and I got the 2”.

I did think about using the bathmate to warm up, but I thought that since I’m fairly new to it that maybe would be better for me to warm up under the space heater a foot from my penis for 5 mins and then light-medium stretching.

It’s Australia and it’s summer, I could probably skip the warm up haha

Although, I’ve just remembered, my total price list would’ve had to include the male coupling, being that it’s around $30 Inc shipping, puts my set up as slightly more costly.

I already had the male coupling from the la pumps brass hand pump, the one you can use for wet pumping. Half my PE gear is from local sex shops here in Sydney, the bathmate was a 50% sale, and I picked up the hand pump and an ecliptical la cylinder for $70 combined. They were old stock and the brass on the hand pump had oxidiesed lightly and the cylinders were all ‘odd sizes’
