Noob Report - 13 Months
Hey everyone,
I’ve been following this forum for a while but couldn’t sign up because of the Gmail issue. I finally got around to getting a new email and wanted to share my experience—and say thanks for all the info I’ve picked up here.
I started using the Bathmate in February 2024, mostly in the hot tub about four times a week. At first, results were minimal. Fully pumped, I’d hit around 5”, and once in a while I’d push to 5.5”, but nothing consistent.
Later, I added an inexpensive all-day stretcher (ADS) to my routine. I wore it a few hours a day but still didn’t see much change. Then I read here about how important heat is, so I ordered the Total Man heating pad and started using it before and during my ADS sessions.
The first heating pad actually failed on me, but the company sent a replacement right away, and I’ve been using it consistently ever since.
I’ve cut back on the Bathmate and focused more on heat and ADS, and that’s when I started to notice progress. These days, I regularly hit 5.5” pumped, and I’ve reached/exceeded 6” a few times. I’ve also measured when using the ADS which reaches just under 7”.
I asked my wife if she noticed any difference, and she said not really—especially during sex, it doesn’t feel any bigger to her internally. But there was one moment that stood out. She was blindfolded and tied up (we’re monogamous, just enjoy a little fun), and when I put myself in her mouth, she pulled back in surprise. Later, she told me it felt a lot bigger and for a second thought it was someone else. That was a pretty wild moment and a nice bit of validation.
Anyway, thanks again to this community. Reading everyone’s experiences helped me figure out what to try and what to stick with. Happy to answer any questions about what’s worked for me or what I’ve learned along the way.
