Would like to choose one: bathmate or jelqing

Hey guys,

Great place this is!

I am totally new to PE and would like some input. My main goal is to gain girth with whatever incidental length gains.

I would like to dedicate 10 minutes a day to PE and choose a single modality to keep things simple. I know if I limit it to just 10 min per day I will be able to do it consistently long term. I think this is much better then going for 30 minutes a day, but giving up after a few weeks. And I I have read that many people to indeed get results with just 10 minutes per day.

My original plan was to pump using the bathmate. I’ve been doing it for two weeks now. But I am now considering switching to jelqing instead. Jelqing seems to be the foundational technique. So it seems to me that if one is going to choose with just one exercise for girth, jelqing would be the way to go.

I know some people would say it would be best to combine bathmate with jelqing, but I want to keep things simple. Also I have a bit of a “scientific” interest in this. I want to use only one exercise and see what effects it could produce. Also since I’m limiting myself to 10 minutes per day it seems I would only really have time for one exercise. Does anyone think 5 minutes bathmate + 5 minutes jeqling would be better than 10 minutes jelqing or 10 minutes pumping?

What do you guys think?

Jelq. No question.

Dry jelq, no doubt.

Jelq

Why dry? I was going to start out with wet jelqing. Wet seems to be gentler. Considering that I’m a beginner, gentler seems to make more sense.

Thanks for the replies so far. Jelqing clearly seems to be the way to go.

You could probably start with wet jelqs but dry supposedly produces better and faster results. Quieter and less messy too.

Dry because are better for girth. I started two m

Sorry, the iPhone

I started two months ago with dry and I’ve increased girth (1 cm).

I tried wet jels, dry jelqs and Bathmate. This device only gave me a serious discoloration. I’m uncircumcised and I much prefer the dry jelqs. I owe them almost all of my gains.

I prefer wet jelqs, but do dry ones when I’m short of time. Best to master both then swap and change as you feel like doing. Most uncircumcised guys find dry jelqs easier than circ’d guys do.

Jelqs. Dry or wet, what you like more. But jelqs are the base.

Where have you seen the greatest gains

Regarding wet vs dry jelqing: try both, pick the one that feels better. If it’s uncomfortable or awkward for you to do an exercise, you’re not going to get it done consistently. At the end of the day, that’s going to mean more than whether or not you’re lubed up.

I doubt there’s a better or worse for girth or length between dry and wet jelqing - the intensity of the exercise depends primarily on your applied pressure and duration of the strokes.

I don’t believe dry produces better or faster results, nor is there any reason why they should. :shrug:

Don’t forget at least five minutes of warm up and a few warm down

Consider this. The Bathmate is an expensive piece of equipment that requires some precise knowledge of how to use it (pressure and all). Jelqing is free and easy to learn and adjust to your needs. Once you really invest some time and money into PE, then you should think about the Bathmate.
