Great read guys, I have just bought one of these bath-mate Hercules and have started using it for about a week now, I must say it is fun to use and as others have said it can feel quite tight at the shaft and I had been left with some rings on the shaft from the acccordianlike pump( however a jelq with baby oil will hopefully recondition the skin and keep it from damaging).
From an early point of view the other half has defiantly commented on the thickness of my dick and has stated that it felt “heavy”, she has also not discouraged me from continuing to use it. Lol
Using it in the shower just let the water collect in the bath and then sit down once you put the bath mate on. I usually do one 5 minute flaccid, one 5 minute semi erect and then 15 minutes fully erect followed by a 5 minute cool down semi/fully erect. So far so good, lets see what 6 months of sticking with it does.
