Bathmate Users -- how do you manage pressure?

Broc rings inside the pump and between sets?

Yes, the entire time. I actually put them on in bed after I wake up with my morning hard-on and then head for the showers.

hello,

have you tested the bathmate with cold water?
i mean , I used it during my shower with hot water (10 15 min).
then I used it with cold water 5 minutes as a cold down?the result seems interesting for me…

Interesting in what way?

Mgus, He is probably referring to the benefits of cold, in aiding with tissue repair in an "elongated state," immediately after a hot shower.

Cool Down - YES You NEED It!
The Icy Clamp - sounds good and bad

But what is the result that he finds so interesting?

Edit: it seems to me that he tried it and something interesting happened.

I received my bathmate today, so I’ll take a bath tonight.

I’m planning to use it as a main routine - days on / days off recommended, gprent?

I’ve tried them all. Right now I am on 2 on, 1 off. That’s as good a place to start as any, but don’t ever feel locked in to anything.

Good luck with your first use. I think you will find it to be very easy to use.

gprent — On the brocolli rubber bands when you pump — Are you wearing them like a cock ring, around balls and shaft? Or shaft only?

I did one 10 minute set, waited 5 and started up again. After about 5 minutes, it slid off when I stood up to shower.

Nice flaccid after the first set, slight retraction after 5 minutes, and then I didn’t get nearly as good expansion the second time around. While I was washing up my unit turtled a bit, but now it’s relaxed again.

Maybe I should start with 5 minute sets instead?

Tell me gprent, when you fill it with water and hold it upside down (valve downwards), does it leak? Mine does, and I see no reason for it to.

Shaft only. The bands are too small to do balls and shaft.

I only use mine while standing and taking a shower and that could also be worth trying to see if the results are different.

Because I fill mine from the shower stream, yes, I have to hold my finger over the end of that valve to keep the water from running out. There is just a felt seal in the end of that valve that doesn’t act as a seal until it has vacuum pressure on it.

-like mine does

and for my second cold session, i find it helps keeping my elongated state as mgus said

Sorry but I’ve got to disagree =/.

If you always brought it to the same length, what progress would be made? Eventually you’ll be using less and less pressure.

Sta-kool, that would be like you using the 50 lb dumbbells in the gym week.after week.after week. We wouldn’t do that would we? ;-)

Tried this thing three sessions now.

1) It won’t stay on properly if I don’t have a decent erection when I go in.

2) I can’t get it to stay on properly if I let it hang - so using it in the shower isn’t an option, but I did wear it this morning when I was brushing my teeth etc by holding on to it with one hand.

3) The top valve isn’t to my liking, it seems a bit flimsy to me and I did have some problems with it loosing pressure last night - I could see the air bubble at the top get larger.

4) Max pressure doesn’t feel all that intense - but then I have no other pump to compare it to.

Mixed feelings. I guess all equipment has a learning curve, and it isn’t difficult to make it work. I imagine it’ll take a little while to get the knack of it.
