So I'm on day 2 of using the regular Hydro7 and I have a couple of questions.
Is it supposed to become tight and uncomfortable? I pump for almost a minute and it's really clamping on me tight and becomes difficult to pump with barely any water coming out.
I don't know if I'm using this wrong or I'm too wide for the tube because my head gets really wide and fat inside there and it's difficult to get pumping going.

What are your current measurements?

 

[Fizzlepuffs]

I'm 6 inches long I don't know my girth cause I don't have the right measuring tape for it

I answered you in another thread but I’ll answer you here also. You’re not doing anything wrong, you should be feeling full pressure and intensity. What I suggest to you is to use the 5×5×3 as this will alleviate much of this issue. Try it out and let me know how it works

If the rubber gaiters are fully compressed and you can't pump any more water out, it's a sign you've achieved max pressure with the Bathmate.

As for your head getting wide and fat, is it to the point where it scrapes along the sides of the Bathmate and does not move forward with each successive pump?

Being a complete PE newbie and having used the Bathmate for just one week while flaccid, you definitely want your dick to feel pressure. That's the vacuum doing its job. You'll have to listen to your dick closely (for a lack of better words) and carefully discern between uncomfortability/stretching and actual pain.

Ping me back and tell me if this helps.

 

[Fizzlepuffs]

Once it reaches max pressure and my head's at it fattest it won't move forward anymore and I can't get any more pumps. It doesn't necessarily scrap against the sides of the Bathmate but it's very close to, it looks like that shaft is touching the sides.

I've noticed the same thing too. When I reach max pressure my entire dick won't grow anymore and I can't get any more pumps.

It doesn't necessarily scrap against the sides of the Bathmate but it's very close to, it looks like that shaft is touching the sides.

The tricky thing about the Bathmate is how much bigger your dick looks inside due to the water. It may appear as if the entire head -- and possibly the sides of your dick -- is touching the sides, but in reality it isn't.

Do you physically feel your dick touching the bottom, sides, and top of the Bathmate when you're fully pumped at max pressure? Or your head, for that matter? If this is the case then we have a different problem to solve.

 

[Fizzlepuffs]

I can sometimes feel the head touching one side of the plastic, I know when I'm at full pressure I can't last very long and have to release pressure. It can be pretty uncomfortable

Ok that helps me out more. Using the Bathmate so far my head will touch the top, bottom, or one side of the plastic cylinder when I'm fully erect and pumped at max pressure.

If your head was touching the top, bottom, and both sides of the Bathmate, that might be an indication to upgrade to the HydroMax7 WideBoy or the HydroMax X40.

Did I understand you correctly?

 

[Fizzlepuffs]

When you say the top you mean the full top of the cylinder? I can't get that long on full pressure but it does get really wide. My head goes up to the Hydro 7 part on the side of the bottle and my dick overall just gets really thick. Is your dick supposed to grow the full length of the tube at max pressure?

 

[DLD]

Some practical advice for new people looking through this thread. It is very smart to buy a pump that will get you to your goal. It may be too big for right now but if you’re using either of the hand ball or the wine vacuum you’ll be able to get just as good of a pump as you would for my pump for your size today. So if you’re going for 9 inches go for a Hydromax nine. Even if you’re only 7 inches still go for the 9 as it will save you big time in the future.

No, not the actual tip of the Bathmate. I was referring to the top wall of the Bathmate, since my 100% erect state has my member pointing up and slightly curved at a 45 degree angle.

I can't comment on whether your dick grows to the full length of the tube at max pressure. For some members it has, as they've gotten more gains and/oror started off as naturally hung.

My dick has yet to grow to the full length of the tube. Which would be freaking fantastic as it means my fully erect size would be waaaaay bigger than what I'm packing right now.

 

[Fizzlepuffs]

Yeah mine curves slightly as well. I'm just curious when I pump up to max pressure am I supposed to release pressure once it's there and repeat the process? The picture directions that came with it aren't very clear.

Once you get to max pressure, you leave it on for a set period of time (5-15 minutes depending on the routine).

I would highly recommend looking for instructions via Google search and browsing this forum. Most users provide better details on how to use it properly and how to troubleshoot common issues.

@DLD - perhaps it's time to write a best-selling book on everything and anything about the Bathmate? (xd)

 

[Robocop6586]

Just got my HydroExtreme7 today and have done 3 sessions of pumping. Some concerns I have when using the product is that after a 5 minute session (flaccid) I remove the pump and my penis is girthier for a short amount of time but comes out crooked almost like a zigzag with 2 different bends. Not sure if that's normal or not.

If you are following the 5×5×3 which you should be following, do you want to go with full intensity for five minutes, after that you’ll get five minutes of the SSJIf you are following the 5×5×3 which you should be following, do you want to go with full intensity for five minutes, after that you’ll get five minutes of the SSJ in.

no one should ever pump was in five minutes if they’re using the SRT methodology. At five minutes most men start to take on water about that point you want to stop pumping and then go into the SSJ to alleviate and disperse any retention. And then you go for another five minutes in the pump and then another five minutes of the SSJ and repeat it

You should be pumping at around 90% erect. Flaccid pumping is only for warm-ups. You should always enter your pump 100% erect and within a couple moments you should subside to about 90% which is the optimum place to be.

Ok that's interesting, didn't know there was a max time to be in the Bathmate before water retention happens.

It flies against every thing I've heard about the Bathmate outside of this forum (usual advice is 12-15 minutes in the Bathmate 5 times a week while 100% erect at max pressure) but you're the expert with results so I'll take your word for it. (like)

The reason you see so much success here and every brother growing is because we don’t go by directions, we take a piece of equipment and we make it our own. Water retention is the biggest enemy of gaming girth. 5×5×3 will get rid of most water retention and bring incredible tissue expansion. After the first time people do the 5×5×3 they can see upwards of an inch of temporary expansion! Girth gains is all about temporary expansion being made permanent so new temporary expansion will appear.

You were NOT kidding! I did not see an inch of temporary girth gains, but 0.5 inches. Detailed in the latest post on my progress thread

praise the Lord my prayers are being answered! I pray for all my brothers every single day hoping that you get exactly what you want but I’m also praying that you get exactly what you need.

 

[Fizzlepuffs]

Good news, the 5 minutes at full pressure has become less painful and I can handle it no problem. My erections have been way harder and it feels good outside of the pump.

Good to hear. Let us know if you feel the same way over the next few weeks!

Praise the Lord! I love it when my prayers are answered in the brotherhood! I’m very pleased you took my advice and I’m so happy it is worked out for you. Now you have a clear path to gaining girth in the best way.

What's your guys schedule with this thing? Past 2 weeks I've done 15 minutes Monday-Friday and take weekends off

what do you want to seek out is the 5×5×3 sound in SRT. This is the most powerful and productive girth routine available. Most people see anywhere from 1/2 inch to over an inch and temporary expansion. And gaining permanent girth is all about gaining temporary expansion over and over until it becomes permanent. At that point new temporary growth will show up and you’ll need to repeat the process until you get to the girth you desire.

Agreed with all of this. Doing the 5x5x3 for the past two weeks so far gets me a 1/2 inch in temporary girth gain. Hoping for the day when I get a whole inch in short term girth gain but I'm more focused on permanent growth.

I started using the bathmate 3 times a week about a month ago and haven't ever really experienced any type of temporary gains after a session. Also, I'm not able to get an erection after a pump session because my member is too sore so not sure how i would be able to get a temporary pump before sex.

When you guys say you can see "temporary" gains after a pump, do you mean in erect size or flacid size?

Anyone have problems with getting an erection after a pump session?

 

[offhistrolley]

My opinion...use it in the bath. It can be used in the shower but you will run up your bills and the bath is easier.

Sitting in the warm/hot water is your warm up.
Start with some jelqs / ssj's << SSJ's are a must for me!
Use dld's routine timings of 5x5x3... i do 5x5x5 but that's just my preference.

Your pubic hair ideally needs to be short to get a good seal around the base of the bathmate..I use clippers but just be careful around the sack cos it can bite (cwl)

You want to be fully erect when going in ideally but it will work if you are flaccid but you wont be able to achieve the same pressure.

Increase and decrease pressure incrementally for blood flow, pump up too fast you could also hurt yourself and if you release pressure all at once you could trap blood which causes discolouration.

If its uncomfortable try backing it off or even start again when repositioned.

Is it normal to struggle to get erect after a full set - Yes
Temp gains - Follow the directions above and you will see both flaccid and erect gains at first for a few hours then as the weeks go by the gains will stick if you continue a set routine without long breaks in-between. 3days+

If you want a temp pump before sex try a short set of maybe 5 - 10mins..everyone is different so i couldn't say exactly.

Most of all.. Don't pressure yourself it wont happen overnight.

Just want to give an update since I bought this back in May. When using the pump I have now officially hit the 7 inch mark on the tube and my dick is overall a lot more plump than it used to be. I try to use it daily and I leave it on now for about 10-12 minutes
