Bathmate cushion rings

Hey all. Pretty new to PE and the site. I bought the Bathmate Hydroextreme 9 to start my journey. I purchased the cushion rings as they were recommended. I bought the correct size as well. It’s not the sleeve that comes with it but a separate cushion. I feel like it’s junk. No seal can be attained with it. I’m doing fine without them but was just curious if anyone else uses them, if they are worth a shit, and if I’m doing it wrong.
Bathmate says put it on your cock and pump as normal.

I tossed the two in the package after the first use.

So you thought they were junk too?

Piece o crap right out the door. I rather get the rubber cushion made for the Bathmate sold in MOS Shop. But I don't need it any more. I found ways around to make the pump's rim from bitting into my skin.

I recommend to pump without comfort insert, in that way you can force expansion and max out the entire pump throughout your shaft in girth and length.
