Hi,
First-time-ish PE person.
Long time lurker on various PE forums. In Nov, 2021 I finally decided to pull the trigger, bought a bathmate, a phallosan plus, and a quick extender pro.
Did the stereotypical overdo for about a month, too much time followed by days of no time, to zero results. Struggled badly with the QE being insanely uncomfortable and the PF refusing to hold a seal (also the ring on the belt was agonizing). Got discouraged, and frankly my life was chaos at the time so difficult to be on a routine (good money, which is how I bought everything, but no free time.)
It's all been sitting in a box for a year and a half now, through two moves. The wasted money has been nagging at me badly. Finally, in March, 2023 (this year) I decided to try again. Started with the PF, but struggled to get it to keep a vacuum. I also found that the rods made the base of my penis ache terribly after only 30 minutes or so. Not the penis, but the fatty pad on my pelvis where it pushed against. The ring from the PF belt was also still straight agony.
This time however, I was determined so I ordered a cheap ($50) phallosan knockoff from ebay. I didn't intend to use anything other than the velcro belt and strap that would attach to the PF bell. In the end, I find that the bell itself makes little difference so long as you are using quality sleeves/etc. Found that if I cut the tip off of the PF protector cap and slid it lower on my penis, and then put a cap on the tip (to prevent injury), the rubber-y texture of the cap provided a MUCH better vacuum because it did not allow air to slip past an imperfect seal between the sleeve and my skin. I found the cheaper pump and bell easier to use at home (PF would be tremendously better if I were out of the house), so I have both the "cheap" bell and my PF set up depending on where I am when I use it.
It took a while to get all of this figured out, so my effective routine was super inconsistent (exactly like it was the first time I tried it) until April 17, coinciding with figuring out the seal and having the new belt / bell. Since then, it goes on at 930pm Sunday night, stays on till 730am. Repeat every day until Saturday morning, and take Saturday night off. 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, haven't missed more than an hour or two because life still gets in the way sometimes.
Results:
Measurements on March 22:
BP Flaccid - Length: 5.0" (12.7cm), Width: 1.3" (3.3cm)
BP Erect - Length: 5.5" (14cm), Width: 1.7" (4.32cm)
Measurements on May 10:
BP Flaccid - Length: 5.5" (12.7cm), Width: 1.8" (4.57cm)
BP Erect - Length: 6" (15.24cm), Width: 2" (5.08cm)
This means that my total gains in 7 weeks are:
BP Flaccid Length: +.5" (1.3cm)
BP Flaccid Width: +.5" (1.27cm)
BP Erect Length: +.5" (1.3cm)
BP Erect Width: +.3" (.76cm)
These are give or take 1/16" or so, just because writing it down, but well, well within the margin of error. I am over the moon pleased, and looking forward to the gains coming up. Especially since folks tell me that the second 3-month period is where I can expect the fastest gains! Wasn't sure if we can do explicit pics, but I have them. Though TBH, these gains are not super visible to the naked eye, and I didn't think to put a ruler next to myself on the first call.
