Is it time?

Hey TP!

So it’s been a while since I last dropped in. I have been using My Hydro 7 (5-7 inch) pump for about 2-3 months now. I suck at keeping recordings of my progress because I don’t record them and I should begin doing so. Any hoot. So here’s what I noticed; When I pump, I pump to the max now, (I gradually became able to do that). My dick goes past the ruler sticker that came with the pump. I wasn’t able to do that a while back. Also, when I try pump..little or no water is able to come out anytime I push for max pumping. Does that mean I need the 7-9 inch Hydro, 7-9 Hydro Max, or Hydro Max 5-7 inch? Is that indicative to growth in some way?

I would think that you would want to log both your progress and your workouts. The former might be good to track on a monthly basis. The latter down to date and rough time (5-minute interval).

It’s very easy to lose track of things otherwise.

I don’t use a Bathmate, but it seems like you might be maxing it out. Pricey item, that is.

Yes it is Yoda! Haha.

I have a bathmate and have maxed it out before. Watch out tho, its easy to overdo it when maxing out the bathmate. For me it seemed like I was able to work up to max vacuum over time and the results seemed great. Nice expansion and whatnot but I found it unsustainable due to fatigue building up over time. Eventually I experienced EQ issues and could not keep doing the workouts if I wanted my dick to get reasonably hard anytime soon after pumping.

I used to prefer the bathmate over air pumping but I have switched to air pumping with a gague. With consistency in vacuum and time in tube, I have seen much better long term results. Thats the major downside to the bathmate, there’s no vacuum gague.

You can water pump in an air tube if you use a brake bleeder reservoir if you prefer water over air.

To answer your question, if you cannot compress the bellows any more and little to no water comes out when you try, it means you’re maxed out with vacuum.

There are ways to modify the bathmate to generate more vacuum but I wouldn’t recommend it. I believe the bathmate was tested and was found to have a max vacuum value of 17 in hg. Thats absurdly high for someone who doesn’t have years of pumping experience.

Be safe

You’re right I should log these things down..I have to keep it top of mind…going by memory or visuals aren’t enough

Thats sound advice. I was told about using a pump with a gauge. I have one but everytime it gets to 5Hg it never stays there. It airs out so i have to keep pumping back up to 5Hg. kind if annoying.

Yes, I believe that what you’re experiencing is called success. Revel in it for awhile, then move up. Congrats.

lol I think the same lol I got my eye on hanging thanks to LGHanger (might be quoting the name incorrectly)

You must have a leak in the system somewhere. The vac level will drop as your penis enlarges but should stabilize once you are erect. Moving around can cause the cylinder flange seal at your pelvis to break seal, as will pubic hair under the flange. Lubing the flange helps.

Check the hose connections at the cylinder and pump. If the cylinder has a quick disconnect fitting make sure it is screwed in tightly. It also has a small o ring so check to see if it is pinched or missing. If the pump is older it can also lose its sealing capability. Some pumps have rebuild kits with new o rings and rubber flapper seals.

Air tubes are also easier on the wallet as needs change.

I have been doing a similar version of this. I have enough water in the tube to surround everything, but air at the top which is where I pull the vacuum through.

I can’t imagine doing this sort of thing without a gauge.

I’m with alterdst8. I have Bathmate and have moved to air pumps to have a more consistent routine. I’ve had to incorporate a heat source to match the benefits of Bathmate, but I’ve had too many injuries from maxing out the Bathmate vacuum and tube from not knowing the vacuum level. Now I’m packing an 8x2 tube without edema or discoloring using 5 inHg.

I have a vacuum pump but it never stays @ 5Hg..the pressure starts to decrease so I end up having to pump back up to 5Hg. By the way, what is a good diameter size is 2 inches too much or go less? I have erection girth of between 4.5-5”

I think you should start with a 1.75” tube. If you are constantly having to pump back up instead of just a couple of times, I would think the seal to your body is poor. Could be size or sealing method.

The cylinder sizing thread is a good to read. Size it on base girth versus mid-shaft.

I’d suggest sizing it on the largest part of your penis. If your glans is the largest, use that measurement.

I recommend going the air pump route. I own an x40 and I never had as great of results as I had air pumping. I get more vascularity from air pumping as opposed to pumping with a bathmate. Air pump with a guage and a heating pad will do wonders. It’s also a lot cheaper.
