It works great to compliment your already existing PE routine as: 1) a warmup, 2) a warm-down, or 3) both as in my case

I like it so much. Hope to get more ideas

it is possible to get a really effective pump with the Bathmate. I think those who talk down about it don't understand how to use it properly.

----It has to be filled with water to the BRIM! Reason is - water doesn't compress but air does: meaning if there is any air in there, that much less pressure applied to penis. Common physics people!

I'm thinking about buying one of these as a christmas present to myself!!

I'll just incorperate it into my routine, it looks fun!

It is fun! I would recommend it highly based on 2 weeks of use - I am noticing a difference! compared to when I did PE alone

From experience of using the bathmate, it works better in the tub than shower, tub it gets full of water, get a better pump.

i have a Bathmate as well and i havent been super satisfied with it however im probably using it wrong. I cannot for the life of me seem to get a good suction. ideally the thing is supposed to be more or less 'stuck' to your dick. this doesnt happen for me.. it keeps falling off so i just sort of pump it randomly to at least get some suction action before i toss it aside. i can notice a difference when i take the thing off but as with most pumps it eventually subsides. i am begininng to wonder if *anyone* has ever achieved permanent gains with this thing.

so, does anyone have any tried and true techniques when using the Bathmate ??

That is a great question, jetsetter, since there has been much speculation. I am testing this theory, read here:

How are you using it - in the bathtub? Of all the places I tried it it works best in the bath. I stand up by the sink some sessions but I occasionally lose pressure doing this. follow these steps:

1. Immerse yourself and bathmate in tub.
2. Work yourself to 50-80% erection if possible. (but not necessary)
3. put bathmate on underwater so no air leaks in!
4. when you feel like you have the positioning comfortable, stick only the top valve of the bathmate out of the water and squeeze down fully once. Water should come out and you will feel the suction. Repeat if desired, until you can't pump anymore water out. This, to me, feels like an incredible suction. Good luck.

Oh, and you may want to "trim" your bushel

As i posted in a separate thread, i've been using the bathmate for 6 weeks straight, every single day. I've had zero measurable results. So far, after 6 weeks of daily use (20 or 40 minutes per day), i've gained nothing. Just my experience thus far.

Hey guys,

Newbie here. Been lurking on a bunch of forums but liked this one the best so here I am. The Bathmate has caught my interest for a while and I got one last week and am now committed to trying it for at least 6 months as an introduction to PE. I've been a quasi-jelqer over the past year. I've mainly done it after I shower, but not in a structured way. I am very impressed with the dedication some of you show to this cause, however, I am too lazy and busy to fit in one hour of PE into my daily rhythm. I've been trying the Bathmate for a week now and even the 20 minutes/day of that have been tough, lol.

I am pretty happy with my penis overall. I do wish for more erect girth, but my main objective is achieving a lower hanging flaccid penis. Right now I hang about 4" soft on a good day, but normally I sport 3.5" and after a workout I might be even smaller than that. As pathetic as I feel about it, I do admit that I suffer from locker room syndrome. Maybe my mates are abnormally hung, but I sincerely do feel like I am always on the short side in the locker room and it has always bothered me. I'd also like to get some more flaccid foreskin coverage as my foreskin is on the short side.

So I have a few initial observations about the Bathmate. Construction is good and it is easy to use. Unlike some previous posters I have no problem getting a good vacuum. My penis bends in an upward u-shape when erect and this makes it slightly uncomfortable to enter with anything more than a 80% erection. I have tried it in the shower, bath and at my desk(!) and I think for me I will go with the latter of those options. I lived in a shared flat and I simply can't motivate 20-min showers or baths. That said, filling it up using the tap in my room and applying it has been easy with the only downside being spilling some water on the floor upon inserting my penis into the Bathmate. Before doing this I wet my pubic area, scrotum and penis. I also bring a large mug to the desk for collecting the water I pump out. Sitting like this with the Bathmate seems to produce the same result as using it in the shower.

So what about gains? This is the experiment I will conduct until June (and beyond if successful). I do see a huge difference immediately after removing the device. It's an ugly sight with the penis being very bloated and with a noticeable "doughnut" due to the puffed up foreskin that rolls behind the glans. A few minutes later it looks much better but still pretty swollen (see pics). I do this routine at night before bed and when I wake up I must say that my penis looks quite nice. It looks much less swollen compared to immediately after removal of the device, yet the penis looks much "heavier" if that makes any sense. I get a good hang for most of the day. Even by the time I reapply the Bathmate, I can still observe the results from the previous session.

I attached a few pictures that I hoped to get your input on. These pictures were taken about 30 mins after use. As you can see there are horizontal lines on the penis near the base. These are from the rubber tube on the Bathmate. In the instruction manual it says: "When maximum girth growth is reached, ring marks may appear at the base of the penis, indicating a model size increase." I saw these rings even after my first use and I am not that thick, so I do not know if this is a good or a bad sign. Do you other users get similar rings near the base?

Pictures 2-4 show a couple of profile views and an image of the foreskin rolled back. The foreskin does get puffy and swollen and looks rather unattractive. It seems as if this device will help me achieve more flaccid foreskin coverage, but I am not too thrilled about how it looks. Even after 12 hours the foreskin is swollen, although not as much as in these pictures. Does this happen to you guys as well? Do you more experienced PE-ers have any ideas for how this swelling can be minimized?

This turned out a lot longer than I intended so I will end here. Hoping to have some constructive conversations on here with other Bathmate users. Cheers!
