Bathmate Vs Air Pump?

Is there a difference in the way these pump work towards growth? When I used a bathmate I noticed more expansion everywhere but I couldn’t keep track of the vacuum being used. With an air pump, I didn’t have as much expansion but I definitely had more vein growth. The bathmate was easier to get more growth at the base but the air pump got me more expansion at my glans. Are both of these pumps beneficial to have and work with or should one pump be used for consistency?

Combining them, you have the best of both worlds.

BuckWood, I believe they can both benefit. As you stated the bathmate is good for base girth. I believe the same. If you think of the design, the source of the vacuum for the bathmate originates at the base where in a dry pump typically pulls from the top.

I believe packing the base too soon in a dry pump might inhibit base growth. I love that in a bathmate you can use hot water helping with greater expansion. Not knowing the vacuum is a little scarry but if to own a dry pump with a guage you can learn the feel of the different pressures.

I am enjoying my dry pump at the moment. But I use my wet pump 2 times a week. We will see the ultimate results in time.

The location of the draw of the vacuum (top or bottom) has no impact on what the penis feels. You either have a column of gas(air) or a column of water acting on the penis. Gravity and the density of the substance in the tube (gas or liquid) do influence the penis. This assumes no tube packing, i.e., there is a gap between penis and side of tubing.

If the penis is pointed straight up then the lowest pressure is at the top of the cylinder and the most pressure is at the base. Liquid weighs more than gas so if the tube has water in it there is slightly more pressure at the base than compared to a tube with air.

The only differences I can think of between a bathmate with water and an air pump would be (1) heated water vs non heated air and (2) no way to confirm that the vacuum was the exact same in the two tubes.

The difference in pressure from the top of a 12” column of water to the bottom is 0.433 psi.
The difference in pressure from the top of a 12” column of air to the bottom is 0.00056 psi.

I would be curious to learn if someone who uses water in an air pump and has also used a bathmate can compare the two and would share with us.

I prefer the electric air pump. It’s just so much more practical because you can do it anywhere and anytime.

I read on a post you commented. That it took 4 years to gain an inch of girth. Does it really take that long? What exactly was your pumping routine?

Wrong thread for that question. Discuss this topic or create a new thread for non-related questions.

@32quaters

I’m sorry didn’t mean to try and get things off topic. Just so I know how exactly does the thread topic discussion work exactly?

Doing it again. Going off topic is called derailing. If it is your thread you can do as you like, elsewise stick to the subject of the thread. Thread topics should be started in the forum appropriate for the topic. Mods can (will) move if in question. PM for other questions.

32quarters,
“The difference in pressure from the top of a 12” column of water to the bottom is 0.433 psi.
The difference in pressure from the top of a 12” column of air to the bottom is 0.00056 psi.”

This is interesting 🤔. I can agree with my results. A more uniform pump from air is my experience. The water pump is more uneven. The base seems to be gaining faster than other parts. The .433 difference in water is over 2hg in the pump. That is a pretty big variable in just 12” Also I believe the cells are drawn apart and water seeps in between causing a spongy penis.

Sorry my calculations were off as 32quarters pointed out to me. .433 psi converts to .88 hg not over 2 as I stated. Still a noticeable difference from an air pump.

I’m a scientist by trade, and I can explain away some of what you’re seeing here. Note, that they’re not really trade-offs as far as I can tell, and I’m happy with my bathmate xtreme. And I like the stuff that’s sold on LApump

— The bathmate hand pump attachment should used with caution, if you have this model. This is because the bathmate is designed to be suction limited. Meaning it can only produce so much negative pressure by pushing water out of it and contracting the diaphragm to where the device seals on to your body. It was designed and approved by some medical practitioners, at least in the UK, so we know the vacuum that it draws from pushing it on to the body is safe. However, in my experience, the last little bit of pressure generated from pushing it on to the body is quite painful and I like to give the ball pump a quick squeeze to draw the diaphragm down a bit.

— Using water will change the way pressure is distributed on the penis. In theory, it gives a more even pressure, unlike air pumps where pressure is focused moreso on the tissue that expands most readily, like veins. This can reduce risk of injury or allow higher pressures, but I’ve never seen evidence to support either. However, this could explain the slight differences in pressure that you are noticing.

I’d say they’re both great types of pumps and both are beneficial, sometimes a bathmate is just inconvenient. I like to think variety is the spice of life. Whatever you’re doing, I’d say to make sure you’re keeping track of your activities.

Cheers

Please try again with your explanation of this part. As written it makes no sense and is not supported by physics.
