Hi, I have had the bathmate extreme for a couple of weeks now. Sometimes I find it easy to use, and other times it’s not quite so easy to get along with. Sometimes I find it wants to pull my ball sack tight and wants to suck a ball into it. It will do this even after being in the shower for a long time and with a fully “relaxed” ballsack. I find it can also pull the foreskin taut making it really quite unpleasant.
Other times I can use it absolutely fine and get a really great pump on. Anyone have any idea what I’m doing wrong on my “off” days? It’s bloody frustrating, as on the odd occasion, it’s unusable when it’s like this.
Thanks in advance
Is it ok to masturbate every day and continue to use the Hydromax Extreme? Does the penis have to be lube-free before use?
ReplyHi, Bathmate recommends we remove the device every 2-3 minutes and message the penis. Your routine hasn’t incorporated this. Is it okay if I use it for 5-7 minutes straight?
ReplyYes it should be fine. If you feel any pain or discomfort, make sure you take it off.
ReplyHey, I have a concern and question.
What’s the max time you can leave the Bathmate on without rest? And if you’re saying 15 or 20 mins, should it be done in sets or should it be done all at once 15 mins (advanced)?
ReplyYou can try to leave it on for as long as you can and see how you feel. You may need to re-pump if the pressure declines or if you want to increase the strength. If you feel pain or discomfort, so stop.
ReplyI have been using the Bathmate Hydromax X30 for about two weeks. When I initially started, I could immediately tell a difference in shaft length, and the tip of my penis was more pronounced.
However, I experience issues with pumping. I don’t pump in the bath due to my height 6’3. Instead, I do it in the shower, more comfortably. When I am pumping, I notice that the black bellows of my pump hardly ever retract to the original position, and I often find myself having to release the valve (not removing the Bathmate) to continue pumping again.
Will this affect my results?
ReplyThe black rubber you mean? it is not retracting to the original position while you have the pump on? It is hard to visualize for me…
As long as you feel the tension on your penis and it appears more “puffed” at the end, it means that the pump is working well.
ReplyHey. Thanks for putting in the time to make this routine and give it out publicly, it’s a godsend and the only one that’s put my mind to ease.
Only thing is, mine didn’t come with a ball attachment pump so I’m having to press it against myself to get the water out – and honestly, it’s a struggle. After a while not much water comes out. Do you think this is due to lack of suction or should I buy the attachment?
ReplyThere is a release valve at the end of the pump. Push that to let the water out.
I do not think you can ‘upgrade’ a Bathmate pump to include the external ball pump.
ReplyI’m in my 3rd month and have just started using the Bathmate with an erection (90%+) for 15 -19 minutes, 4 days a week. After pumping with an erection, my penis is very red, heavy, and the tip is very puffy (particularly when it returns to its flaccid state) and painless. I have to use, what seems to be high pressure, to get this state. I’m not seeing massive expansion (like half an inch) after use though, maybe a slightly over a tenth of an inch. Is that type of expansion something that has to be worked up to? Is all this normal?
ReplyYes, all of this is normal. You are supposed to see such effects after your pumping session. Just keep going and those size increases should become more and more permanent even without pumping.
ReplyIs it ok to use the Phallosan Forte (mild to max tension) for a few hours after an 18-minute maximum erection/pressure session?
ReplyYou should give your penis a few hours rest if it feels soar. But there shouldn’t be a problem.
ReplyI have got a Bathmate Hercules. Using it about a 1 week but can’t see any results neither in girth nor in length. My size is 5.5 in length and 2.5 in girth. When I use it, the foreskin on the top swells and my penis looks bigger for some period. Is it harmful? How can it get good results? Please help me out; I am feeling depressed after getting no results.
I am using it for 15 min daily for 1 week. Like 5 min of use, 30 sec of rest, 5 min pumping, rest 30 sec, 5 min pumping, rest 30 sec, 5 min pumping, rest 30 sec.
You are on the right track. 1 week is still too short to see permanent results. And the swelling foreskin is fine – it is part of the penile tissue expansion.
Just keep pumping and use our routine. If you discovered a better routine fit for you, use that one instead.
ReplyStarting out as a newbie, how much pressure should be used? That is, If I start pumping flaccid, should I pump until it looks like I’m 100%-110% erect. How much should I pump if I’m 100% erect?
ReplyAs a newbie, start with a pressure level that you feel comfortable. If you feel pain, so stop. If you are erect, hold the pressure as long as you feel some tension. Over time, you will get a better feel for which pressure you need to continue growing.
ReplyAfter my 5th day doing as the manufacturer recommends 5x5x5, I am noticing the tissue under the head wholly swollen with water. It looks like a water ball that can explode… is this normal? How can I carry on? Can I pump again or better to stop?
ReplyWhat you are experiencing is called ‘fluid retention’. This is more common with Bathmate rather than Penomet. We wrote a full description about this where we mentioned symptoms, cures, and how to prevent it.
In short, you over-pumped, and you should massage your penis to cure this condition. Take a few days break from pumping, but do not worry too much. This is not dangerous.
ReplyOn week 3 I tried going in semi-hard, and it would immediately go flaccid… If I can’t stay hard in the Bathmate for longer than 2 minutes, is there an alternative?
ReplyAs you are getting more used to pumping, you will be able to achieve an erection by merely increasing the pressure.
As of now, you can take the pump off and stimulate yourself manually and circulate the blood before you continue so that you get an erection. You can also try Kegels and moved the pump around instead of keeping it passive in one spot.
ReplySo after week 12, do I just repeat the whole routine from week 1? or what?
ReplyBy the time you get to week 12 you should already have a good feel as to what exercises give your penis the right balance of stress and growth.
ReplyWould it be wise for someone who has been using an air pump for about a year and a half to try an advanced routine, or start out with a beginning routine?
ReplySee how you feel after a day or two of the beginner’s routine. If your penis is not getting enough stress – you could try the advanced routine.
Air pumps do not have nearly as much potential as water pumps, so I would guess you need to start from the bottom.
ReplyThis post is very useful.
Slightly confused here, though. I thought Bathmate recommended 3 sets of 3-5 minutes for beginners for a total of 15 minutes a day.
But if I understood your instructions clearly, you’re advising that we do one set of 5-7 minutes to start off.
Are you suggesting we forgo the manufacturer’s instructions?
Note that the manufacturer wants to take extra safety precautions to avoid injury complaints. Injuries include ‘bruising’, which recover after a few days. So even if they do happen, it is nothing dangerous.
After you are comfortable with 3-5 minutes sessions, we recommend that you hold the pump on for longer to achieve better results faster.
Always use your own judgment with what your penis is comfortable with at this point.
ReplyHey, so for the first 8 weeks, do I need to keep the Bathmate on for the whole 14-18min for example, or do I need to divide that into two sets of 7-9min?
ReplyTry to do it all in one go. You will see how the effects really amplify if you hold the tension and don’t let go.
Notice how you have to work your way up to the 14-18 minutes mark. This is because of the intense pressure at that level. You will need to gauge yourself throughout the weeks to find the rate you are comfortable with.
If you feel like holding the tension for 7 minutes (for example) is too much for you, don’t increase the tension time.
We actually recommend never to go over 20 minutes due to a risk of injury.
ReplyFirst of all, you wrote great instructions. It really helps me a lot as a beginner. I have questions though.
How about the Bathmate routine after week 8? Do the jelqing and stretching start at week 9 or week 9 is the same with Bathmate week 1?
One more thing, I heard about the donut effect. What causes it and what should I do if I have one? Thank you.
After week 8, I posted the continuation routine for week 9 – which involves jelqing and stretching.
We actually explained the donut effect in this article here.
