Bathmate help

[DGW]

I've been using a Bathmate hercules for almost 2 weeks. I currently measure 6x5 when erect. When I pump the Bathmate, the base of my penis expands so much that it compresses into the pump mechanism, leaving rings around the lower third of my penis. I don't mind the rings as they dissipate quickly, but it's quite painful.

I've tried applying a lubricant to the pump portion and I've tried keeping the pressure low for an extended period to allow the penis to lengthen before fully pressurizing the unit; both with limited success. Any other suggestions? Would I be able to use the Goliath model or will it not work because of my modest size?

As info, I currently reach the 160 marker (although I've seen 170 a few times). The portion of my penis that's in the actual tube still has ample room on the sides. It's really the base of my penis that seems to expand too much.

Thanks for your help.

get a pumping sleeve

A lot of people have the same issue. It seems the answer is universal pumping sleeves which helps. I currently have some on order to see if it indeed does. For some reason the gaiter is smaller in diameter than the tube, and a mid-sized Bathmate isn't going to be coming out for quite some time.

My review on the universal sleeve for the Bathmate.

Buy the sleeve

Done. Found them on Amazon. Thanks for the help.

I had the same problem...I just followed MiniMe advice and ordered the sleeves....

As soon as I receive them I will write about the improvement...

I tried the sleeves for an hour this morning with horrible results (lots of trapped air, hard time getting penis past the opening, poor seal). I suspect it would work much better in a tub, but I use mine in the shower or by filling it at the sink. I'll give it another shot this weekend as many people have had success.

In the meantime, I've found rolling a section of what-a-grip along the lower portion of the penis relieves the pain/rings.

You sure your attempting to pump for 40 minutes longer than the safe recommended limit didn't have any affect on your horrible results?

I took that as he was fooling with it trying to get it to work for an hour, not that he was pumping for an hour straight. If I'm wrong, yeah, that's bad. I really wish MiniMe would post the URL of the pump sleeve. I bought a Universal Pump Sleeve off Amazon and it's nothing like the one he got and doesn't work at all.

[DGW]

Messerschmidt's correct. I was messing up badly for an hour.

Here's the link for the one I bought. I believe they are the same one MimiMe uses (don't hold me to it):

Amazon.com: California Exotics Universal Replace Pump Sleeves: Health & Personal Care

I got it to work an hour ago and it was more comfortable/no rings. Right now, using the what-a-grip is still easier, but I'll keep at it and see if I can streamline the process.
