Not much length increase inside Bathmate at full pressure compared to ordinary BPEL ?

My full erection BPEL is 5.5”-6” depending on how hard I press, but when I do Bathmate pumping it doesn’t seem to get beyond the tube’s 6.25” mark at full pressure while in the tube. It seems that others get more of a length increase than this in the tube while pumping, is it just me ? It is a Bathmate Hydromax X30, and I use the hand pump.

First and foremost, you are over pumping and need to back off.

Second, who are all these others getting more then 1/4” additional to their BPEL?
That seems like a very big number to me.
Is this greater then/equal to your BPFSL?

I thought that lifestyle for example was getting more in-pump size than his actual BPEL.

I tend not to bother with BPFSL as I find it hard to do.

I have been pumping every other day this month, usually for 10 mins, high but not full pressure for most of the sessions (up to about 5-5.5”), going in the tube completely flaccid. I hoped that this wouldn’t count as too much.

I had an extra Bathmate session tonight, just as an experiment for a few mins while I pumped as much as I possibly could, but this time with a full erection. Even then it only got to ~6.375” in the tube. So I am not sure why my dick doesn’t expand that much more than my BPEL. Assuming it is supposed to.

Yeah, I’m not sure what you believe “supposed to” really means. There’s no such thing as “supposed to” in pumping, or hanging, or anything in PE really. Everybody is a bit different, and will get a bit of a different result. If you don’t gain a half inch in length in one, two, or six months, will you become frustrated because your dick isn’t growing as much as “it’s supposed to”? That doesn’t make sense. Also, the gauge on a Bathmate body is not like using a ruler, as it contacts your body in a different place than a ruler, ans with the bellows being at different states of compression at different points in your session, it’s really kind of fruitless to try and use it as any kind of accurate measurement. I think of mine as a general guide, but not much more.

You just can’t really compare those two measurements. It isn’t going to match up. Even if it did, which it doesn’t, if you’re going from 5.5” BPEL to 6.25 in the BM, that is about three quarters of an inch more in length. How much more do you expect it to be? It isn’t going to grow an inch in length just because it is under a vacuum. That just isn’t realistic.

I just thought that people could grow significantly longer than what they normally are whilst in a pump tube, say at least an inch or so. I noticed in a thread people being told to allow up to 2” more than their length for expansion when selecting a cylinder, unless this meant allowing for actual penis growth over time.

Plus if I press the ruler extremely hard into the skin I can hit around the 6” mark, maybe more, and the Bathmate at full pressure presses hard, possibly even harder, into the skin due to the vacuum strength, so it’s not really that different, like 0.375” at most, and it’s only as much as that when I literally eke out every bit of pumping pressure that I possibly can until it literally won’t go further, and at full erection going into the Bathmate to start with.

Yeah, you are not going to simply pump up an additional two inches in length. That is a crazy idea. That extra two inches is obviously for expansion over time. I wrote a very long and detailed log of my Bathmate use. Again, everyone’s experience and gains will be different, but I think just a quick look at this log will give you a better idea of what you will see doing a Bathmate centered routine.
