Tried using my bathmate hydro7 again today it is completely broke and I don't know how I never dropped it or anything. The baffle gaiter part is crooked and it won't go straight when you pull it, it's too solid it's not very elastic at all. I can manage to get it so no water comes out now I did this and after 2 pumps the water instead of squirting like it use to it just kind of comes out of the top from the sides but no stream and it doesn't build up more pressure. It's getting me to 4in max vs use to get up to 6.25 or very slightly above that. Idk what the hell happened, it's just been in more droor a bit over a week as I been using the Amazon electric hydro pump. I did pull off the foam thing stuck to the bottom of the gaiter after my last use, but many people on YouTube say TO do this, it's like a phone or electronic they usually jave plastic over it you can just peel off, or are they wrong and you NEED this shit? Rofl I hope not... The valve something is very fucked about the top valve thing when I pump now, even after the side thing happens, I keep trying and then it will release all by itself without my hands anywhere near it to press it down. I will never buy a bathmate product again. I got eight days of good use from it before tonight. If I would every buy a $250-300 one hydro extreme I would want at least one full year use of it, but preferable 1.5-2. I don't know why, and I tried returning it before due to the low amount of pressure it even can give you and they wouldn't take it because I threw the box out even though I had the receipt. $139.01 gone. Now, until I get more money again, I have to use one of my two air pumps I use to use just fill a bit under half way with water but now I won't be satisfied unless I can't fully fill it I'm debating to poke holes in the end of the one I have that has a bulb to see if I can make it like a hydro extreme handle but if it doesn't work that would suck. And as I just posted the pics darnit, I apologize this phone camera is bad. The bottom part, it's not straight. The valve problem isn't visible, maybe upon taking it apart idk.
