Zs Newbie Journey

I’m going to start the newbie routine and also just ordered a Bathmate. I’ve read a number of opinions here and plan to be extremely careful. I’ve read the stats gains and am hopeful for just a moderate boost.

Love to have the grower become more a shower, gain girth, and a little bit of length.

Starting stats:
FG: 4”
FG: 4.5” (Base)
FL: 1.5” to 2.5”
EG: 4.75”
EL: 6”

Goal:
FL: 5”+
FG: 5”+
EG: 6” (Base)
EL: 7.1”

Will ramp up newbie routine and go for non-max (light pressure) Bathmate. Will track with photos every 3 months unless I have some shattering surprise record. I can log in Excel as well. These are likely aggressive goals, but even 0.5” in length or girth would be epic.

Opened up the Bathmate. Learning to use it. Had some trouble keeping the seal. Did 3 sets for 3 minutes. Barely pushed it but tried to get a feel for it. Exiting flaccid girth looked huge, but went down. Didn’t measure in time for that event (~5min) but was definitely thicker than I’ve been hard (mind blowing for me). Length wasn’t different. After it decreased, wasn’t hard but base flaccid girth +0.5”. Midshaft girth +0”. Didn’t last long, but I’m optimistic that I have room for improvement given what I saw. After a short while (another 10 min), went back to normal.

Had sex about 30 minutes later. I thought my EQ was down slightly but sex was great-wife positively commented on size and sex. Thinking may be a coincidence or beginners luck. Didn’t measure during the act. Cautiously optimistic.

Saw lots of concerns on Bathmate thread. I honestly had a lot of trouble getting the seal and figuring it out. So don’t take my comments this far as a super endorsement-I had a rough time.

If I enjoy this a lot, I may take Another users recommendation for a water pumping setup with gauge.

Good morning,
Woke up frisky and early and decided to try pumping and exercises. Much better today but still having trouble with seal. Pressure felt strong but doesn’t hurt. Still trying to be careful. Shower strap not working well yet.

3 sets at 5x4x3 minutes.
After exiting the tube FG (base): 5.75+”
After resting FG (base): 5”

Not bad. I Still don’t pump up to EL in tube yet. I’ll check FG and EG later today and post.

Good luck, I recently started out (again)too and all I have to say is to stay determined. The lack of fast-viewable results is really what killed my will to PE a year back. So good job and stay at it.

Later in day, still some flaccid pump benefits! Erect is unchanged.

FL +.5”

FG +.5”

The day after pumping, I was back to baseline stats (yesterday). Pumped again this morning. Had more success than the first two times. Was able to pump up to my EL, but the pressure was strong and I didn’t want to hold it more than 2 minutes. Had 3 sets - not really exceeding erect girth yet. Looks big in the tube but could be the illusion with water, or it just goes back to normal very quickly. I do get enhanced flaccid appearance. Erection quality is high and it feels bigger, but it doesn’t seem to measure that way yet.

Regular day again, pumped at a higher pressure, flaccid exiting the tube is similar in size to erect (cool). When erect, no noticeable gains yet. Still not seeing the big flaccid persist longer than an hour or two though (tops).

I have a hard time pumping at lower pressure on bathmate because it then looses seal easily if I move in the shower. Still learning.

Remember this process takes many months so you have nothing to worry about stay strong please keep updating us. Hows the beginner routine working out for you?

Hi @Plucky858
Beginner routine is going but nothing to report yet. Immediate results from pump helps to motivate as well. So I think it is currently more fun to report there, but going forward I’ll share both.

On pumping, had no issue today, was very easy to pump up and hold for 15 minutes with no discomfort. For last few minutes pushed pressure up. Exiting tube was thicker floppy flaccid 5”x5.25” - gives me hope that eventually I’ll see EG gains.

Hi Zs

You are right to be cautious as there’s no gauge in Bathmate and it easy to over pump. The other thing lots of guys including me will say is the gains from the Bathmate are temporary. I now use a vacuum pump with gauge.

You may be lucky like some others and get the gains. I would recommend warming up and doing some stretching before using the Bathmate.

Keep up the PE you will see gains. Does the Mrs know about the PE?

Thanks, I’m considering a proper pump. The Bathmate is hard to use in the shower. The Mrs knows but doesn’t want me to go crazy and hurt myself. She’s happy regardless.

I am hoping for a little gain but nothing extreme.

So, trying not to get too excited but when about 80% hard today still felt loose like I could get bigger and measured base girth at 5.4”!! I have not pumped today. Despite excitement; I’m thinking the more likely explanation is that my first base girth measurement wasn’t very good but it does look bigger. Still cautious and doubtful that I *really* had gains, Especially since gains like that are extremely unlikely with so little activity.

On the downside. Some darker marks / dots post yesterday long term pump session. No pain or discomfort.

Turns out I was overly optimistic, I hadn’t recorded a base girth measurement. While I think it is thicker, I’m assuming my starting base girth is around 5.2”. I measured midshaft erect girth and it’s still the same at 4.75” so no gains or very little gains. Sorry for the false alarm / excitement.
