I bought a bathmate hydro7 for $139.01 at a local adult shop two nights ago and used it last night my first try. I liked there was no blistery feeling like any other pump I've ever used like soreness feeling BUT I did not know the plunger thing doesn't allow you to pump past a certain point; it just says scrounged up unable to go anymore. I did keep hitting 5.75-6.25in as is normal for me in other pumps I use but they always keep allowing me to go higher (unless air bulbs, those stay flat at a certain point but handle pumps or electric keep going). Is there anyway around this other than buying an $300 extreme bathmate or whole new pump? Tyvm for any input. I was thinking maybe try a bulb on it once the plunger is stopped up but don't know how to put one on it since the hose would have to have a wide ass end.
