Air Pumpers That Have Bathmates

Reading through all the threads talking about air pumping and more specifically low pressure (4-5 HG) pumping, I kinda noticed that a number of people that advise air pumping in the 4-5 HG range also have water pumps (Bathmate style).

Isn’t this a contradiction?
How do you use two such different methods in your PE routine?

I understand if you are air pumping in the higher ranges (8 HG) that going back and forth makes sense… but the lower HG has me confused.

Thanks,

I have both but use mostly air pump. I would even sell my BM for the lack of use.

I own both a Penomet and a Bathmate. The Penomet is for sale, low use times. The bathmate (X50) I’m giving a fair shake, as it rubbed me the wrong way years ago when I got my Hercules (which is also for sale, pretty much new).

I do not have it as my regular routine yet. But most folks are like Dvdck above, have both and generally only air pump after comparing the two.

I also have both and like TG, I also had an issue with the Hercules but as I said in my recent thread I was hooked by the fast temporary gains so I got the one with the hand pump. Which I still use and enjoy but not as a stand alone.

I don’t feel like the pressure I apply is any higher than with an air pump. Yes it doesn’t have a gauge but at this point I can get a feel for the pressure. So pumping to a higher hg with BM doesn’t apply to me and probably most other long term pumper.

I prefer the air pump over the BM because 1- it’s more controllable because of the gauge 2- I don’t have to stand in the shower with it and 3- many different sizes. I’ve said this before I’ll say it again I like the BM, I don’t love it plain and simple. It has its uses for me, mainly as a warm up, warm down. I also enjoy it before sex because it’s given me a nice pump without giving me EQ issues or an embarrassing doughnut

I started out with a penomet but always used a wine dealer to increase pressure. I now exclusively air pump for better control and to prevent injury. I do experiment with higher pressure from time to time but tend to regularly work out in the 4-7.5 range. The penomet was a good starter pump for learning to seal. The water really shows where you’re leaking and helps hone technique.

Started air pumping, have and x40 extreme available PM me an offer nothing against water pumping jus not for me.

i have 3 frohle cylinders and a BM X30.

I use that only for warmup process at shower for 15 minutes.
Then use first cylinder for 20minutes while watching porn.
Then bigger size for 3x20minutes.

real gains comes with airpumps. Praticly its very hard to stay at shower for 2 hours.
