Over 1 month Bathmate - red spots, red spots, red spots

Hi there!

Use the bathmate now for more than 6 weeks. Here the log - i get red spots like cracy.

After red spots i do pauses and then start again with lower intensity. But the spots kept coming and i went for shorter and shorter sessions. But this is weird now - i just paused for 2 days, then i did for 1 (one) minute only, not full pressure - and i still got red spots. After one month of using.

I am wondering:
- Did you have red spots? How did you deal with it? Did you just keep on pumping? (i tried this once and found the hardly seen spot got bigger, so don’t wanna do it again)
- i now started with warming my penis up with hot water on it for like 3min, anything else to do?

Something i read at some time, paraphrasing:
Vacuum pumps can do vacuum-based injuries. The skin heals the fastest. But underneath there can still be an injury. Re-introduce vaccum and it will break up again. Best let it heal for 6 or 12 weeks to prevent scarring.
Right now i am wondering how much of a special-case i am. Spots for more than a month although pausing letting it heal and restarting at much lower intensity.

All comments appreciated.

Log:
201112 Pumped 6min with hydromax. Don’t know I used it totally exact. Already had first supertiny bloodspots which disappeared soon (gone next day).
211112 little pumping
221112 4min
231112 6min
241112 8min
-> but these were with bad seal, basically i used it wrong
always semi-erect

251112 10min -> 7 tiny red spots. So will wait till I don’t see anymore. And back to 8min.
261112 8min. tiny red spots after.

271112 Pause for injury
281112 pause for injury

291112 6min (one supertiny spot)

301112 6min
After it again red-skin irritation

011212 5min
A little area that was red the last time – it disappeared. That’s why I thought, ‘ok, I’ll do 5min’. After it the pumping the area was red again.

021212 pause

031212
5min
I feel like I did it really right like for first time -> I put it on totally under water and then had a nice direction pointing right upwards after sealing it. And I had good seal and only water in it and pumped good and I got to the maximum not being able to pump more.
This time the whole shaft also got really bigger, not just the penishead.

20 tiny red spots. O my o my.
Also the red area that was before (but always was away at the next pumping) was there again.

041212 pause

051212
On first sight don’t see any red spots or areas, on closer inspection I see some spots
So: pause day

061212 No red things to see anymore. So pause and next day also pause.

071212 Pause

081212
3minutes
Not full pressure, like half full
Result: 4 supertiny red spots! And I guess more but soo small I don’t see them anymore

091212 pause
101212
2 minutes, not much pressure
Result: 1 red spot, but more serious looking than 4 supertiny red spots before

111212 pause
one red spot there but loot less serious

121212
1 minute, not much pressure
-> finally a non-injury day

131212
2minute, not much pressure
one red spot not so easily seen

161212
2minute, not much pressure
Hm. Still slight problem with the seal. Damn, I don’t wanna shave totally, I have scars there.

171212
2minute, not much pressure
(without going underwater, with bad seal, just quickly doing it)

181212
2minutes, totally under water, so good seal, but not maxed pressure

191212
shaved
3minutes, under water, good seal, not maxed pressure
In hindsight next day: 1 red spot very visible, 5 supertiny hardly seeable once

201212 pause for red spots disappearing
211212 pause for red spots

221212
2min
Not under water but seal got better when pressing in and applying pressure, max pressure
Result: 6 red spots

231212 pause, red spots still visible
241212 pause, no more red spots visible

251212
1min, not full pressure, semi erect
Before: 3min warmup hot water on it
Result: 4 tiny red spots

241212 pause, no more red spots visible

251212
1min, not full pressure, semi erect
Before: 3min warmup hot water on it
Result: 4 tiny red spots

261212 pause
No more redspots to see
271212 pause

010113 pause

Red spots are a funny thing but the fundamental cause is too much pressure or going too long without a break.

It’ll be more difficult to monitor your pressure with the Bathmate as you don’t have a gauge but here’s what I’ve learned about red dots and pressure.
I water pump at between 2.5” and 3”hg, any higher and I get dots in about 5mins.

At 3”hg if I go longer than 10mins without a break I’ll get dots.
At 2.5”hg if I go longer than 15mins without a break I get dots.

The only way I’ve found to get round this is to pump in 15min sessions and every 5 or 7mins lower the pressure for 30secs to allow better circulation.

Other things that I find affect it, the hotter the water the more dots.

Taking vasodilators like arginine or blood thinning drugs like aspirin increase the likelyhood of dots.

I find a generic vitamin k cream helps, it supposedly strengthens small blood vessels.

Thanks !

I decided to start again after this 1 week pause.

020113
5min hot water on penis with kegels
30sek, very low pressure (1 pump), semi erect (girth got noticeably bigger in tube)
5min hot water on penis with kegels
Result: seems like no injury, nice!

Will raise 30sec every time but keep at low pressure for now, and pump every 2nd day.

is there any gd result from the using the pump ?

Use the BM with supersets. Jelqs in between + massage.
Try cold water(!).
Increase the pressure slowly and even more important let go of pressure slowly(!) in increments.

Then again its possible you are prone to these spots..

I get these red spots like crazy too. I was really enjoying the girth gains from the BM, especially using it right before sex. I put it down for a few months and used it again this morning, red dots like crazy again! I’m going to try the cold (or at least room temp) water and see if that helps.

Another thing I noticed is my shaft stayed discolored even after two months of not using the BM. Maybe the discoloration is permanent?

Does anyone know what the actual max vacuum (inches h.g.) that the device produces or how to regulate it?

I am led to believe that no more vacuum than what is needed to achieve a full-on hard erection should ever be used and why would you need any more? I have found it necessary to use up to 12’ hg to get completely hard and then dump some out and pump it up, dump, pump…
I just try to maintain a full hard and no more than that. Too much time under vacuum will result in more redness.

With water pumping, one would assume that hot water would be the advantage over air pumping. Cold water does not sound very good to me because my unit seems to hurt when it gets cold and always feels good when it is hot.

The Goliath and Hercules models have a maximum water vacuum at 0.40 bar which translates to 11.81199322856639 Hg

I don’t think you need much vacuum at all to get hard, it just takes time to fill it up, imagine it like blowing a balloon, the harder you do it the faster it fills up but ends up the same at max, now I know you do need little bit so that you counter the force pushing it back.

I also use BM since a 1st month!

I practice PE over 10 yrs

No red spots of others effects, I’m cut but half forskin restaured with PE

Started at 4.1 Girth today at 4.5”; NPEL from 165 to 170 mm

sessions from 4x5 mm or 2x10 mm depending of succion to hard or not

I got some very small red dots in the beginning,but nothing any more.

I can pump for an hour with no problems.

Oki, what is yr routine base on 1 hour session?
