I just bought a Bathmate

The other day I purchased a Bathmate X30. I’m on my second day only, but I can say I love it.

I people talking about “false gains” which I attribute likely to people thinking their dick is automatically going to stay at size it is when it comes out.

I’m doing 20min sets and I don’t even experience edema like I do sometimes when clamping (I get a little build up under the head on the left CC).

When I come out the tube I have the same girth as when I come out of the clamp. So I assume the gains should be equal IF NOT better than clamping since blood might be able to circulate better with a vacuum as opposed to a tourniquet. It feels good as well.

The one thing I seriously notice and like that is different from clamping is I KEEP a bigger flaccid for a long while after. When I finish clamping my flaccid returns to “average” within the hour.

I’m actually trying to get length from the bathmate, but I’m sure I’ll be getting girth. My intention is to continue using the x30 until i pack the sides of the tube; then I’ll lube the inner tube with Vaseline and attempt pumping to the edge of the tube to gain some length.

Right on!

I love my X30. I’ve gained a little over a half inch and I’m near the 7in max. I’m close to upgrading for the X40 with the pump control. One thing - I’ve been ordering the valve caps every couple of months. I use mines on routine 5 days out of the week.

Also, I just purchased a set of vitamins, it’s been three weeks in adding with my weekly jelq routine. I’m eager to measure myself by end of next week to see how much I’ve gained. I for sure know I’ve gained a little more girth.

Congrats and well wishes!

Solid pump performance makes a pump a good solo device for some men and I’m glad you can get the results temporarily that point to gains down the road. Me and the BM never got along. More power to you that you’ve got something good going.

Nice. Is your routine only pumping?

Hey Deepwrath31, do you find the BM easy to use?

I just bought one too but I must say I find it puzzling. I have only been applying a small amount of pump pressure and even that feels like on the border of being too much.
I guess it will take some time to get used to.

That’s exactly how it felt the fist time for me. You get used to it and will be able to apply more pressure

Thanks Vajrayana

Yeah that’s what I was hoping was the case. I’m determined to give the BM a go considering the $$ that it cost.

I’ve had mine 2.5 years and for the first time in a long time I used it for 2- 20 min sets yesterday because I had no other option with privacy issues…..damn I forgot how much temporary expansion I get. I still prefer my air pump but sometimes I don’t give my BM the respect it deserves. Probably because of how overpriced it is.

You mentioned upgrading - have you heard that this offers benefit? I’ve been using the x30 for a bit now and can max out the 7”. Do you know if the x40 offers more “potential”?

Just because it’s so expensive, I hesitate to upgrade if I should just be continuing my current routine (about 3x/wk) and hope for continued modest gains.

I don’t understand how one would pump without a gauge.

TG,

I’m not using it as a solo routine. Just adding it. I still Clamp and Hang with my BIB.

Sbnisk;

It was a little tricky the first few times, but you’ll get the hang of it. If it feels like too much don’t go into your pain thresh-hold for sure! but me personally I’m able to easily withstand the max pump which is what I sit at for probably 15 of the 20minutes. It takes me 5min to “pump up”

Kingscountry;

I didn’t buy for a while as well, but I got mine on sale for $100 which is cheaper than I bought my BIB Starter after shipping.

Titleist;

If I had ONE complaint about the pump that is EXACTLY what it would be man. I’m not sure what the max on it is, but that’s what I stay at the entire time anyway. I was considering contemplating a way to add my own gauge.
I actually want to buy a traditional air gauge as well. Do you have a recommendation? If so I’ll see if it’s available where I live. If not I’ll pick it up next time I vacation back in the states.

Over the past few years I use both air with a gauge and the bath mate, I feel once you get the hang of air pumping with a gauge you can tell about where to stop with the bathmate. I’m actually sitting in my tub right now using it because it’s the only way I can get any PE in on thanksgiving break. I use the bathmate more now more as a warm up/down and also on days like today. I used to love using it in the shower at night before sex but now wife has been following me in the shower so that hasn’t happened in awhile.

Same here. I’ve been air pumping for a few months and can judge my BM by feel. I’ve had my BM X30 for two years. I really like the expansion I get from pumping.

Hey so you guys mentioned pumping for 20 minutes, the instruction manual says no more than 15 minutes/day doing 3x (2-3 minute sets). Why is that? Is it safe to do longer periods e.g. 2x 20 mins? Why not pump multiple times throughout the day? I just got my x30 in the mail and total noob!

For me as a non newbie if I use the BM only, it only works if I 15-20 mins twice a day. You’ll need to build up to it tho
