I don’t want to leave my USB cable permanently connected to is though, so have just ordered a replacement. For what its worth, the pump still works great, even after all these years.This time I went for the newest model, the LeLuv Magna PRO+ as I read the Magna has noise issues and generally not good build quality. Hoping this one is worth the extra money. The Pro has a few extra program options that I am keen to try out.

I also ordered the Bathbud to see how it compares with the bathmate.

Will review them both as soon as I get them.

Wow - so it has been a while since I purchased these pumps but I wanted to give them a real thorough use before posting this review.
I think I’ll start with the Bathbud as it was very disappointing. For the price, I guess it isn’t bad, if you enjoy some light action on your penis while in the bath. It is more of a masturbator I guess. It also lacks the program flexibility that the Smart iPump and Magna series have. It is possible to reach orgasm with this if that is what you are looking for, but I am not, so I stopped using this device altogether after a short test period. If I want a good pump session in the bath, the bathmate is still the best option for me.
Coming to the Magna PRO+, this is a total different story. I am really pleased with this device. I read on some reddit threads that the Magna (cheaper model) was too loud so I was concerned about this one, but the Magna PRO+ is surprisingly really quiet. This one time I was using it while lying in bed and my wife walked in and was standing right next to me talking for a while and she did not hear a thing - or at least the background noise from the room ceiling fan was enough to camouflage the Magna PRO+. I did have it hidden under the blanket so that certainly helped.
It also has USB-C port for charging and the placement at the base of the device is perfect for keeping that port from getting damaged over time unlike the Smart iPump one.
The Magna PRO+ has similar program settings to the standard Magna and Smart iPump. There are 3 preset programs and 7 custom ones. The custom ones work similar to the Smart iPump in that once you set the pressure level using the memory key, the cycle will pump to that level and hold for a set number of seconds/minutes. The manual was so small that it was really hard to read (I’m at that age now) that I had to test each one and log it down so I could easily refer to it.
All the programs are supposed to be 20 mins long, but this is what I found using 3inHg:
0. Custom - 216 reps: 1 sec hold @80-87mmHg/3.0-3.5inHg, 4.5 sec reset, total 19.8 mins
1. Preset - 21 reps: 30 sec hold @126-133mmHg/4.5-5inHg, 6 sec reset, total 12:17 mins
2. Preset - 21 reps: 1 min hold @153-160mmHg/5.5-6inHg, 6 sec reset, total 22:30 mins
3. Preset - 11 reps: 2 min hold @174-180mmHg/6.5-7inHg, 6 sec reset, total 23 mins
4. Custom - 41 reps: 30 sec hold @126-133mmHg/4.5-5inHg, 6 sec reset, total 23:34 mins
5. Custom - 1 min hold
6. Custom - 2 min hold
7. Custom - 4 min hold
8. Custom - 5 min hold
9. Custom - 10 min hold
For some reason, preset 1 is only 12 mins long, but if you set the pressure to 4.5inHg on program 4 - it lasts a whopping 23.5 mins. I didn’t time the other custom programs, but I assume they are all going to be at least 20 mins.
The only thing I miss from the Smart iPump is the timer. If I recall correctly, the Smart iPump timer lets you know how much time you’ve been in the program or counts down from 20 mins, but that includes the 6 (or so) seconds for each cycle reset so you actually get less than 20 min pumped time. Whereas with the Magna PRO+, you get just over 20 minutes of actual pumped time. I just wish I could see how long I’ve been at it so I can work out how much longer the session will be. I usually watch an episode of something which is about 23 mins to use as a tracker.
In conclusion, the Magna PRO+ has become my favorite pump and part of my nightly routine. I find my penis stays nice and thick all day from a single 20 min session at night before bed.
I have completely stopped all other PE activity since I started using this pump and will most probably continue with this. I highly recommend this over the Smart iPump. It might be a while before a newer model comes out to replace this, but apart from the timer, I can’t really think of any improvements I would like to see. I know a truly custom setting where we can set the high and low and hold times is probably not in the cards but honestly, I don’t think I need that anymore. I have really come to like these routines and find them perfect for me.
Hope this helps and maybe there will be a sale for Black Friday that will make it an even better offer. I haven’t seen any yet, but I am hoping there will be one soon.
