With an S.G. extender and a similar routine to the newbie routine, I gained 1 1/4” in just six weeks. And that gain seems to have been permanent. But my progress stalled out right after that, and at 7” non-pressed, I was pretty satisfied.I don’t know what it was about the Bathmate that grabbed my attention, but I really liked the simple design, as well as the idea of pumping with my penis soaking in hot water. It just made sense to me I guess.
I’ve been really happy with it so far. At first I only used it every other day, paying attention to how it felt and just being very cautious, as there was a lot of people who were sure the lack of a gauge would lead to injury. As I got more comfortable and competent with it, I stated to use it every day, kind of thinking more workouts, more often would mean more gains. I got to where I tried two sessions in a day. And that was too much, it resulted in a bit of a donut, and a bunch of tiny red spots on the penis. Went away in about 24 hours after some vigorous massage.
After I took a couple days off, I came back to it, and got my best expansion ever. That got me thinking, maybe a day off, and just pumping every other day would actually bring the best results, and the most expansion. So I went to pumping only every other day.
It seemed to work OK, but I’m still not that sure it is the most effective schedule. So I’m going to try to keep track of my days on/off, and my expansion and how it is effected by the workout frequency. Hopefully this will make this thread a bit different than the other Bathmate threads. I love VVC’s and Shiby’s threads, but I want to contribute something more to the PE/Bathmate user community. And I think this will be pretty interesting.
