Should you water pump with a full erection?

I recently purchased a Bathmate and I’m trying to develop the best routine with it. I like the new feel and expansion I get in comparison to air pumping. I usually enter and exit the pump with about a 60-70% erection level and wanted to know if anyone has any experience with using and maintaining a fuller erection for the duration of the time in the pump or if this may be over doing it.

I like to have a full erection with all types of pumping, both air and water. Having an erection is perfectly safe. Using too much pressure is the primary cause of going overboard.

I have the Bathmate and I enter with a 100% erection, although it subsides to around 65-70% pretty quicky.

I have found when using the Bathmate it shrinks my erect length while slightly increasing my girth.
This is only temporary the EL shrinkage.

Been using it on and off for around 4 months.

Nothing really good to say about it.

But thats just me, I think it’s more of a gimick

So maintaining a strong erection is the way to go in your opinion? I will give it a shot and be sure to watch my PIs. Thanks gprent.

That was one of the same things I had noticed when I first started to use the Bathmate pertaining to the temporary EL shrinkage, also. However, that problem seemed to be caused when I didn’t enter the pump with any type of erection. That’s why I did start going in with a semi erection and why I am going to try with a greater erection

XXX-Man,

I got the shrinkage either way, try keeping a full erection while in Bathmate for any length of time.

I certainly can’t do it!

Let us know how you get on !

I will see how it goes and let you know. I plan on doing one 10 minute set and going from there. Wish me luck. :)

Interesting, been considering Hydro Pumps.

I would advise against I’ve started to get scars from my unit pressing against the pump end when I get a full erection for 20 mins.

Personally, I love my bathmate but it is easy to go overboard with to much pressure.

How much pressure was too much and how could you tell that you went overboard??

I think that for me it is too much pressure if I follow the instructions and pump until no more water is coming out. It really hurts and I have gotten some blood blisters. I started doing longer sets with much lower pressure and I think that I notice better results so far. Pain is bad!!!

Pain is bad, and not only not necessary, but counterproductive.

Good for you for making the adjustment to longer sets at lower vacuum. Listen to your body.

NO , NO that’s wrong
Same thing happen to me

But when I started to use it without (initial/ real) erection my length increased on the bathmate ruler (from 18 to 19/20 cm) in about 6 weeks, I didn’t measure girth thou

What type of routine do you use with the Bathmate as far as number and length of sets and frequency?
