Purple Penomet kit for sale.

Hey pumpers. TG here, and with nothing educational today. Just a product I would like to sell.

A Penomet water pump. Full kit. All 5 gaiters. Instructions. Shower strap. Also tube is purple. I picked that. Just…liked the purple.

Light use. Has sat a while. Really, just gaiter bite issues from base girth expansion is my main deal. That and looking to try a Bathmate X50.

Pictured below. PM offers if interested, we can chat.

I might be interested. I have a Hercules, that’s getting too small. These are close to the x40 in size right?

They are almost identical to the X40 on inner diameter at the entrance, yes.

Some sharper images.

Still selling purple Penomet kit. Honestly, forgot till just now.

Would be super interested if I hadn’t just blown a big chunk of change on the x30, and I’m pretty sure shipping it here to where I am would be prohibitively expensive.

But the point I wanted to make is I take it you’re looking at going for the X50, and I have not much good to say about the Hydromax series. In fact, the only nice thing is that the gaiter bite is a tiny bit less than on the Hercules. Other than that there’s a leaky fiddly valve, a leaky comfort ring, the loss of most of a centimeter of usable length if you take the comfort ring off, and a tendency to suck testicles into the tube if they aren’t hanging well clear or are tied back. Also the 35% more suction tagline is just marketing BS, I literally have to use my Vacu-Vin mod just to get the same pressure as with my Hercules.

Long story short, I’d recommend buying the first gen Goliath instead.

I haven’t seen the First Gen Goliath on sale. That said…I already have my X50. *sighs*

So far, I’ve found you can use it without the bulb. Which is the most major upgrade. And I haven’t had an issue with testicle suckage but that twist valve is a pain in the keister. Push, flip, twist and then…*sighs*

Oh well, if you’ve already bought it, it does work, it’s just that I far preferred the mechanics of the Hercules. And the Goliath didn’t even need to be on sale, it would still be far cheaper, especially given it sounds like you’ve gone for the extreme version.

Curious - are you able to use it with the comfort insert and still avoid leaking? I can’t avoid gigantic air bubbles unless I pull it out.

Well, on the site, they don’t sell the X50 size (Goliath size) in any edition other than “Extreme”. I checked that twice.

Leaking hasn’t been my issue. Getting in it erect enough, after fiddingly with the nose to stop the flow of water was tricky though. And I hate the placement of the shower strap bracket compared to the one that goes around the body of the penomet. *rolls eyes* It going on the tip of the pump is so extra crappy I can’t stress it enough.

Well, I hope it works out well for you. I’m still figuring out how to use mine with the comfort insert and minimize air bubbles.

Best technique I’ve found, this is from the Penomet days, is to make sure you’re actually in the tub. Fill it with warm water and get erect before pulling it on. If you pull it on with authority, without spilling water, the only water displaced will be your erection and a very small air bubble. This also effects a better seal.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a tub, so I’m limited to shower pumping :,(

Let me be more clear, you do not need a tub to do what I am describing. I said get in the tub because that is the place of my house that if I spill water it is okay. This can be done just as well in a shower. Allow me to be more clear.

Stand in the shower or tub. Make sure your shower strap is attached to the pump device but not around your neck at this time.

Fill the cylinder with warm water all the way up to the rim, like a glass of water. You may get water on your shower strap. This is fine.

Get erect as you can and insert into the cylinder. This can be a Penomet or a Bathmate water pump, the concept is the same.

Pull the cylinder to your body and pay no mind to the water you spill. When you tilt the cylinder for the initial right angle you are bound to spill water. If your erection angle is higher than 90 degrees you need to have your erection as straight out from your body (mimicking 90 degrees) as possible. If your erection points straight up there is no way to effect a good seal with these pumps. You will have to hold your erection in place for the optimal angle while you pull the pump on.

When you are pulling the pump cylinder to your groin the bathmate has a valve you have to turn and press the switch. You have to have an idea of how much pressure you would like and then close that valve by flipping the switch and turning the valve to seal the water in and air out. Otherwise the pump bellow will do its job and push the cylinder away from you, inhaling air and ruining your seal. Instead of maintaining the physical force needed to effect both your seal and desired pressure.

Holding the pump cylinder with one hand bring the shower strap around your neck with the other. You will need the shower strap if you plan on moving around with the pump pressurized with water. Otherwise you will stand holding the pump for the entire duration and being basically unable to move.

*pro tip: prior to actually using the pump with water I recommend a dry run so that you can place the pump on your penis and know exactly how much you need to adjust your shower strap to your height before you have water in play. These things are very long. Slack in the strap will allow a pump full of water to fall, making a huge water mess and no productive PE. That way when you bring the shower strap in play it will be adjusted and ready for use and not require any additional steps or be an additional liability. This lowers the risk of ruining your seal when you’re actually using the pump.

This is the method I use to get my pump to seal. I do not use the bulb and hose, either.

Aaaaah! Thank you, that helped a lot!

The key for me was this bit -

That was the missing step between putting it on just after filling it and sitting down for my pumping session. Flipping the valve closed didn’t allow the gigantic air bubble to form while I was sitting the way it’s been the last few days. Plus I finally got to use it with the insert, which is the most comfortable when it comes to gaiter bite.

Didn’t have to do any of this shit with my old Hercules, but I do need to wrap my head around the fact that this is a totally different pump. Oh well, you learn something new every day.

Thanks again, TG.

I ain’t no Bathmate expert but I do know how to seal a water pump and this is set of steps I took with the Penomet. Thing is, the Penomet automatically sealed because pushing down the little tab after your pump reached the desired pressure meant just letting go and the tab would stay down. You have to flip the switch and turn the valve on the Bathmate system and honestly, with the hose and bulb I have no idea how that would be done. But when I was experimenting with it I figured out how to fully seal the system. And that, is the only way you’ll get any kind of PE done with it. Regardless of the size of the tube OR if you use the insert or not. Though the insert, in my opinion, is a step up from the Penomet as I suffered from massive gaiter bite before.

My motto is “if you opened a new box, treat it like a brand new device.” so that’s how I figured it out so quickly.

Glad I could help, sithvicious.
