When I started using Bathmate almost 4 years ago, I wish I’d had some Q&A, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) or Ask Me Anything (AMA) source about Bathmate hydropump.
That’s why I decided to make one on my own where I share my experiences with everything regarding Bathmate.
Does Bathmate really work?
Personally, I can attest that it really does work. Bathmate penis pump gives results, and I can almost say it gives results immediately.
Do I notice a difference with women when I have sex with a pumped-up penis?
It’s a quite unusual experience to fuck with a pumped cock. Just imagine how her eyes light up and how she gasps like never before when you are filling her with Bathmate swelled dick – that at least has been my experience with Bathmate.
Nowadays women actually praise my cock and refer it as a big cock. Which is surprising. I never got that before getting a penis pump, I had very normal very regular medium-sized cock.
Now I indeed hear women praising my cock as so big, and this is actually coming from multiple women. My favorite is when they whisper “I love sucking your big veiny cock”, and I’ve had so many partners since starting the Bathmate penis pump habit become addicted to suck and slobber on my cock for +30 minutes and even hour straight sometimes.
Many women just love to suck on big veiny chubby warm red cock and please their men when he has a cock like this. But of course the confidence factor is something that affects this also; with bigger cock I’m more confident and women like me more and are more attracted to me when I’m more confident.
It’s so damn great to get my Bathmate swelled cock sucked on for hours by a lustful partner that is so mesmerized by the cock that she just wants to choke on it and slobber on it deep-throating it like a good girl, oh my god. One of the greatest pleasures of life.
I didn’t really experience this kind of sex life with my regular cock, enhancing my penis has really done something positive to my sex life. If it increases confidence, it’s great.
It works also on the flaccid size of the penis. After pumping for about the next 12 hours I’m bigger than regularly even while flaccid. The penis also feels fuller and it’s surprising to take it in my hand and feel the fullness even while flaccid.
Do I need bathtub to use Bathmate or is shower enough?
Actually, I, in almost 4 years of using bathmate, have never used it in bathtub. I’ve always used it in shower.
But it wouldn’t hurt to have a bathtub, I think it’d be better and more interesting experience if you happen to own bathtub. But nonetheless it’s not necessary in any way.
Is Bathmate safe?
They’ve designed the Bathmate penis pump for maximum safety. Genuine Bathmate pumps are designed not to exceed vacuum levels that are permitted in EU and U.S. medical laws. Also Bathmate products are manufactured from skin-safe materials in the U.K.
But obviously, as a newbie, you must start with lower pressure and get used to it. Penis pumps are not some toy that you can use mindlessly.
You have only one penis and can’t get a new one if something happens. Play safely and slowly get accustomed to the new sensation of the hydro pressure pump.
As an experienced user, I see no problems with maximum pressure the Bathmate can do, my penis is strongest as ever actually. So in my eyes, there are no safety concerns except for the people who try it first times.
It’s smart to start with a short time like under 5 minutes and work with lower pressure and not pump too much pressure and also to not get full erection inside the pump at the start.
Is Bathmate worth it?
Resoundingly yes. After using it for ~4 years I think it has been worth every penny. In my mind, it actually is an investment that has paid dividends almost.
It has made a difference in keeping great women who perhaps wouldn’t otherwise stay with me, but with extra strong dick-game via the help of Bathmate I’ve landed great relationships.
In fact, I regard Bathmate as a cheat code nowadays, I’m kinda amazed that every man doesn’t already know about this and do not use it regularly. Giving me a competitive edge in the dating markets.
It’s one way to see it. Others might see it just as a tool to enhance their penis and sex life.
How does it feel while pumping with Bathmate?
At start it felt quite weird actually, especially experiencing the pressure for the first times ever. Mind you that before Bathmate I had never used any penis pumps prior to that.
Obviously I started with low pressure and had some problems at start to get erected inside the pump, but after learning curve I got the drift of it.
Everyone will have learning curve with using Bathmate. The insertion with pump filled with water is a new way to pump. You must try to keep as much water in and not spill too much while doing the insert.
It helps to get a better suction if you trim your pubic hair. I do that regularly now just so I can get better suction for my Bathmate pumping. Excess hair can be on the way if you want to make air tight sealing on the base of your cock.
Now when more experienced you can start to experience maximal pressure and for me it feels great, I can feel and see my whole penis expanding, I can almost feel inside my penis and see the chambers that fill with blood expanding and being capable of getting more blood there (making it 10-20% bigger than normally).
But I gotta be honest and tell you that if you’re like me then your first few times with Bathmate you’ll very likely struggle and first times are just learning the ins and outs of the pump and how it works.
Like how to get your cock inserted inside the best that it actually gets an erection and doesn’t stay at the bottom getting stickied against the wall of the pump.
There’s definitely a learning curve and first time users will spend the first pumping times learning the way the pump works, how to lock it and how to release the pressure etc.
For me personally I experienced the “WOW” like effects of pumping at my third-fifth session, the first sessions I somewhat struggled as it was my first experience with any penis pumps ever.
How long should I use Bathmate per session?
The timing? At start I used it max 5 minutes as a newbie. Max I’ve ever done is around 13-15 minutes as it’s ENOUGH and can make the head into “donut shape” that is actually almost too big to enter into vagina.
Also the donut shape that comes from too long time Bathmate pumping is something that is not recommended. Even though it looks sickly big, it’s not something you should ever aim for while Bathmate pumping.
Regular pumping time as an experienced water pumper is ~10 minutes for me.
Often times I swap the water in the around 6 minute mark and get new warm water and pump back to max pressure instantly. This also prevents the “donut bell end” formation.
For starters I’d start with 5 minutes with low pressure and get used to it. After all you have only one penis and you can’t get another, play safe and get used to it slowly. There’s NO RUSH! After all you have the rest of your lifetime to use it.
Should I tell my wife, girlfriend, lover that I use Bathmate penis pump?
I wouldn’t tell about Bathmate to some random dating app flings, one night stands or casual sex partners. But with time you could show it to wife, girlfriend, long-term lover, friends with benefits type women.
In fact, I’ve told many women that I use Bathmate, and it has overall been a great experience.
Actually, nothing beats it when your woman watches you pump with Bathmate, is perhaps kissing all over your thighs, looking at the cock that swells and swells inside the pump, is excited to see it unleashed, tries to lick the chubby cock through Bathmate, in anticipation starts to lick your balls and takes your balls in her mouth, you get hornier and hornier and your penis expands even further…
…your cock swells up to huge length and girth, finally you let the pressure out of the pump and unleash it right in front of her where she is on her knees below you and gets huge bulging red warmth emanating throbbing cock on her face, in many cases I bet she has never seen so huge cock that feels so strong and looks red from the warmth of the water…
…the cock feels so soft and sensitive from the water pumping that when she takes it in her mouth it is one of the best feelings in the world when she starts to suck the extremely sensitive bell end of your pulsating cock.
It really takes getting a blowjob to a whole different level, when you experience that you’ll probably experience the best blowjob of your lifetime.
So yes do tell and show it to long-term partner that you can trust, it doesn’t hurt to tell and I can almost promise things can get even more interesting once she knows about your pumping habit.
It’ll make it even more motivating to pump pre-sex or even have mid sex session pumps and make your cock swell to bigger heights and instantly get inside her with your warm pulsating chubby cock and see her face when she fills up like never before.
On top of all this Bathmate in my experience helps with premature ejaculation also, which comes quite handy with your partner. I’ve also written more on Premature Ejaculation Strategies if you’re interested on that topic.
Is the Bathmate pump long-lasting, durable or some easily breakable product?
It’s really solid, long-lasting design of hydropumps ensures total reliability for years to come in regular use.
Durable even if you happen to accidentally drop it, in my opinion it very well might last even 5-10 years in almost daily use. After that even if it’s still ok, I personally would update into a new one just for the hygienic reason.
In the meantime it’s easy to clean and personally for me just rinsing with water has been enough to keep it clean.
What new things should I try with Bathmate when I get accustomed to using it?
One thing I’ve tried is pumping with cock ring to get even bigger pressure on my penis ring expanded cock. When doing that I can see the veins popping out well.
But it’s not something I do often and I don’t recommend doing it.
Most of the times I pump just regularly. Accustomed or not, just pumping does the trick and gets the penis worked up and expanded.
I also recommend to try Bathmate without the comfort pad which can be removed if you want. Personally I enjoy pumping more without it and actually get better suction without it.
Regarding suction problems, I recommend to trim your pubic hair regularly if you want greatest possible suction. Long pubic hair can be on the way and just trimming it helps.
No need to shave completely (I never do that). Just use some trimming kit, Bathmate also has their own trimming kit which can be handy but I haven’t personally used it.
Can I get permanent gains to my penis size just from using Bathmate regularly for a long time?
I believe you can, in fact I have and thousands of people have got more hung from using Bathmate regularly for longer periods.
But in my opinion it has that caveat that you lose it if you don’t use it, meaning that if you ever slack for MANY months and stop all your penis enhancement routines and also stop having sex then you might shrink back to same old.
In my experience it’s very crucial to use your penis regularly, ie. have sex and either use penis pumps or do jelq routines. It’s what keeps penis healthy and causes you to have more spontaneous erections and morning wood.
I’ve had busy periods in life where I haven’t met anyone for months to have sex, and haven’t used my pumps. It always shows when this happens, penis shrinks in size when compared to the hung chubby penis I have when I regularly pump and have sex.
So, I want to stress it that yes you’re likely to get permanent results as long as you stay active in your pumping routine and stay sexually active somewhat regularly.
And if you aren’t sexually very active then I don’t see much point to get penis pumps, since it’s very likely you won’t be very motivated to even have your pumping sessions if you aren’t having sex regularly also.
That has been my experience and I want to inform everyone to use their penis regularly if you intend to keep your penis and sex life healthy.
Penis pumps like Bathmate is a great way to “use your penis” so to speak, as it’ll give you erection even if you don’t feel like it. It does so much good to your penis when you get regular erections, for example then you’ll get morning erections more often.
Does my partner notice that I’ve started to use Bathmate penis pump?
Will she notice the difference in your penis size and wonder what happened?
The short answer is that she might notice it. Suddenly getting a bigger cock aint no joke, she’ll notice it.
Many times I’ve pumped my cock a tad too long time in one session, that my cock has swelled too much and I’ve got a “donut” on my shaft from the water pressure.
That can awkward to explain, and that can be a fucking huge thing also – no chance to get tight condom on when this happens. So if you need protection, you must remember to not pump for too long time with Bathmate.
But if your partner knows about your Bathmate pumping habit and you can go raw, then it’s very fun to overpump once in a while and get that chubbied up donut bell end inside her warm moist tightness. When that happens, it’s like discovering sex again.
Having sex with Bathmate pumped penis is very different feeling, I can actually ravage her with big penis and watch her eyes lit up when she gets cock bigger than she’s used to.
I’d never over pump your bell end into a “donut” if you intend to have anal sex after using Bathmate, because penis can get quite sensitive when you do that. Sensitive cock and anal sex isn’t necessary very good idea with all the potential bacteria.
But you are the master of your own cock and of course you can use it how you wish on your burden.
Foreskin area expanded into a donut shape from prolonged Bathmate pumping? Is there any concern?
When I first started my hydropumping sessions, at some point I pushed it too much and actually experienced this completely new thing.
My foreskin area expanded, almost like it had absorbed some water inside and it expanded into a donut shape.
Obviously I panicked a bit that what if this is permanent now and started searching more about it, but it’s indeed quite normal thing for pumpers to experience sometimes.
Especially if you push it too long and pump for a tad too long time.
The donut subsided quite quickly, in around 30 minutes. So it was nothing that bad. And every time I’ve got it on an occasion (or sometimes on purpose), it has always come back to normal and has not had any ill effects.
Nonetheless I don’t recommend you to pump so long that you form a “donut”. Letting the pressure off at around 6-7 minutes timing and getting new warm water and starting again and going for about 5 minutes more is a good strategy to prevent getting a donut.
But I want to stress that it’s nothing to panic about if you happen to get this donut and get your foreskin somewhat expanded by the water and the pressure. It comes back to normal and is just temporary.
Just few days ago I actually accidentally pumped myself a “donut” when I was testing a new pump, it was huge and to me it was quite funny looking. There was nothing to panic, it went away in about 30 minutes or so.
Sometimes it might be even very fun to have you cock sucked and have sex with that donuted up cock, I’ve done it and it’s quite an experience.
But remember that you only have one penis so it’s wise to play it safe and always stop if it’s hurting in any way. It’s better not to rush things in life.
Is Bathmate Scientifically proven?
Is there any research or studies made with bathmate penis pump?
Currently, there is no published peer reviewed research that has used real Bathmate pumps. Which is understandable, as the Bathmate is still quite a little-known device.
However, there are a lot of studies made with regular vacuum therapy pumps.
Vacuum therapy has been used for many decades for erection problems. As early as the 80s researchers have reported reliable results from vacuum pumping. Naturally, at that time penis pump were way more popular. The discovery of Viagra has reduced penis pumping exercises. Which why also research publishing has declined.
For example, this massive questionnaire noted that over 90% of men can achieve a reliable erection with correctly used vacuum therapy.
“Of these patients 92 per cent either achieved an erection or an erection-like state that was satisfactory for intercourse and 77 per cent had intercourse at least every 2 weeks.” – Source
Another older study noted that penis pumps are safe and inexpensive way to improve your erections.
“The vacuum device appears to be a safe and inexpensive way for an impotent man to make the penis rigid enough to engage in sexual intercourse.” – Source
In this study 30 older men who were suffering from erectile dysfunction assigned to use a penis pump for 6 months.
“Patients reporting spontaneous morning erections showed significant improvements in total erection-time, erection-phase and plateau-phase duration, effective rigidity and tumescence increase.” – Source
Therefore the answer to the question is: Currently, there are no studies made with the actual Bathmate pump. However, there is a lot of research done with similarly working devices and they certainly improve erection.
What to do while pumping, doesn’t it get boring?
I’d be lying if I said that Bathmate pumping wouldn’t get boring after long time. Just sitting there and doing nothing is often boring, especially since you’ll be sitting in either bathtub or sitting in the bathroom toilet with your Bathmate, or standing in shower.
I personally often sit on the toilet with seat down, I have feet towel on the ground and have my phone there to play interesting YouTube videos. That way the pumping never gets too boring because I keep myself entertained the same time.
Without phone in the bathroom it can get boring to sit 10 minutes pumping there and you might actually get discouraged to do any pumping that regularly.
With water hydro pump you must be in the bathroom while pumping, so I recommend you too pump with your phone on the bathroom.
Perhaps put some good YouTube videos on, or listen to Audible audiobooks like for example The Laws of Human Nature or Deep Nutrition the same time.
Shower strap for the pump helps a lot so you can be hands free so you can for example use your phone more easily. Shower strap comes with the HydroXtreme package, and you can also get it alone from their official store.
Shower strap is in no way necessary in my opinion, just a nice quality of life upgrade if you want it. Personally I rarely use shower strap when pumping, I like to hold it and have no problem with it.
Where you can order genuine Bathmate pump?
How I can be sure that I get real bathmate as there are so many sellers and manufactures?
Counterfeit Bathmate products are very common nowadays. Unfortunately, many people have been tricked by a fake pump.
If you acquire a fake pump you can never be sure what comes with it. Cheap plastic material could cause skin issues or the pump design might not meet the safety standard.
In the worst case, a fake pump could cause serious health risks for you and to your penis.
The genuine Bathmate products are manufactured in the UK with strict quality guidelines from skin-safe materials. Also, genuine Bathmate pumps are designed not to exceed the partial vacuum levels permitted under European and U.S. medical regulations.
How can you be sure to get genuine Bathmate pump?
Bathmate has now only 1 official website that sell genuine Bathmate pump: https://www.bathmatedirect.com/ (affiliate link)
Remember genuine Bathmate pumps comes with 60-day no-questions-asked return with money back & free shipping and 2-year warranty (from their official site only). For any reason, if you are not happy with the Bathmate pump you can return it within 60 days and get your money back.
The warranty is a nice bonus also if your pump happens to somehow get some problems, then at least the warranty has you covered for 2 years.
In this article I use affiliate links to official Bathmate site, if you happen to make a purchase via my link it comes with no cost to you but I make a small commission and I’m very thankful for you if you purchase via my links.
I’m very happy to recommend Bathmate products as I have had real success with them and am really happy with their products, so I’m also happy to affiliate link their products to everyone on my site.
I like to live with strict principle that I never recommend anything to anyone if I’m not happy with it, and I like to tell it straight and in that case I wouldn’t even have affiliate links but with good companies I like to be affiliated and recommend them.
In what kind of package do they ship it to me from the official website?
Is the package private and does there read Bathmate penis pump or something?
Orders from the Official Bathmate are shipped with discreet packaging. Also they use discreet invoicing, which means that your bank statement won’t show anything suspicious like “order penis pump”.
Here is a picture from my last Bathmate store order package.
It’s designed that way so that even if your neighbour sees your package or some family member sees your invoice, they don’t have any idea that it’s a penis pump from some pump company. Neither does the postman if you choose to get it shipped straight to your home.
My last order from the officialhydromaxpump site was a great experience with smooth payment (I paid via PayPal) and the package actually came straight to my home in about ~30 hours* from placing the order even with the regular free shipping.
(*The shipping time might obviously vary for everyone, for me it was extraordinary quick from UK to Finland.)
Bathmate actually ships worldwide nowadays, distribution warehouses are set up internationally and you can pay with your local currency whether it be USD, EUR, GBP, HKD, YEN etc.
Does the Bathmate pump fit me? What size version of the pumps should I get?
Before I got the pump I knew what my size was, so I was very confident in choosing to get the Hydromax7 pump. This is from Bathmate official site:
Hydromax7 will fit if your erect penis measures between
In length: 5 – 7 Inches / 13 – 18 cm
In girth less than: 6.5 Inches / 16.5 cm
There are obviously versions for different sizes, for smaller Hydromax5 and for bigger Hydromax9 (& 11 also). Also there’s a “Wide Boy” version for those who are more girthy than the above numbers but are inside that length.
Hydromax7 type seems to be the one that sells the most (according to their site) which tells me that it’s the size where most people fall inside universally, and it has some nice room for growth even if you get permanent gains while using it.
Many times when I pump I hit the 7″ / 18 cm mark with my pumped expanding penis, and even after that there’s somewhat room to grow in length. But if you’re now naturally 7″ / 18 cm in erect length then you need to get the Hydromax9, as inside the Bathmate you’ll expand way further that.
Refer to that if you’re unsure of what your size is so you’ll be sure to pick the right pump for you as per their recommendation. This is extremely professional company and they know their stuff very well.
Is there some Bathmate coupon code or discount code?
When ordering from official Bathmate website, you can see there is “coupon box” for discount code. The official website has a place for the discount code, is there one?
I have searched and asked the store about that coupon box and learned that there is no Bathmate coupon codes or discount codes, even though the official website indeed has a box for it.
Long story short, that “coupon box” comes from e-commerce software that Official Bathmate store uses and will stay there even when there is no discount code in use. And if they give any discount codes out in the future, you’ll find it here.
Even though there is no discount code when you order from official website you get free shipping and 60 days money-back guarantee plus a 2-year warranty on your pump.
I personally wouldn’t be concerned about that as it was worth every penny to me and the price I paid ~4 years ago is something that I’m very happy with.
And even after almost 4 years of usage, my pump is fully functioning. In fact, I don’t see any changes in it compared to a new one.
It’s cliché to say it but it’s good as a new, but I’ve always maintained it well rinsing it after each use & wrapping it inside a towel after each use. And that’s a great tip to dedicate a hand towel for your pump where you can preserve it and let it dry.
Should you go straight to the HydroXtreme package getting all the extra gadgets?
Should I get just a regular Bathmate pump or go straight to the HydroXtreme pump?
Is it worth it, are the useful tools and the pro-pump something you should go straight to?
HydroXtreme series package includes:
– The brand new advanced Hydropump with handball pump
– Bathmate carry case & lock
– Shower strap
– Penis measuring gauge
– Bathmate cleaning kit
– Bathmate clean towel
So after getting this HydroXtreme package, was it worth it to me personally?
The answer is: Definitely.
I’d anyway want to get especially the new handball pump and shower strap is very good quality of life improvement for regular pumper, plus the silicone measurement gauge that also wraps up making it easy to measure girth also.
The carry case for travelling with Bathmate so it’s easy to place it in the weekend bag and take it with you. Yes, it’s definitely worth it.
I’d definitely go straight for the HydroXtreme series and get everything on the same package. The measurement gauge makes it so much more motivating to pump when it’s that easy to track progress, with regular long measurement tape I always hated doing the measurement as it was hassle.
Shower strap also motivates more to pump as you’ll be hands free and free to for example browse your phone the same time.
Cleaning kit is not something I have to use often, as personally just rinsing with water has kept my pumps in great shape. But it doesn’t hurt to have the cleaning kit, although Bathmate is quite cleaning duty free either way and doesn’t really require you to clean it that often. The small towel is a nice plus though.
All in all I gotta say it was fantastic to unbox this HydroXtreme and find all those gadgets and the advanced handball pump. Now I’d go anyday for the HydroXtreme series over just the regular Hydromax pump alone.
Conclusion
Bathmate is something that I hope I would’ve discovered earlier.
Now after ~4 years of using Bathmate, I’m very grateful for a product like this existing.
If I want I can get a bigger penis for sex.
Not always do I want or have time to pump my penis 10 minutes in the shower.
But when I do it, it almost always gives a very nice result.
Bathmate provides that in an easy simple way and that’s why I love their product and continue to use different penis pumps by this company.
It’s great for single men and married men, basically every man can benefit greatly from it.
But you have to remember that this is in no way a magic pill. Pumping won’t solve every problem or automatically make you to a sex god. I don’t want to give you a wrong impression on this and make you expect better results than you truly can.
It is the reality that most people probably won’t have the dedication to get that much of permanent results with Bathmate pumping. But from my personal experience that ain’t even a problem because even the random users will see results after each good pumping session.
Even though the pumping isn’t that exciting anymore personally after almost 4 years of using it. Still, almost every time after pumping with the Bathmate and seeing my penis is now way bigger than it’s normally. Inside my mind, I’m always saying this is worth every dollar.
If you happen to have any questions to avid Bathmate Hydromax user, drop a question to me to comments below. You can ask anonymously anything regarding penis enhancement and penis pumps and I’ll try to answer as soon as I see your question.
