Bathmate design problem...only made for guys with smaller girth!

Ok i have owned the Bathmate for few months now, but only started to use it in a regular fashion starting 3.2.2011, then i started a 3x times a day(15min per session), and now i switched to 20 min per session.

I have already maxed out the bottom, the problem being is that the black rubber, catches my skin and clamps it between the inner walls thus causing wrinkles and small cuts and boils.

I am posting pics so the problem is more visible!

I am still about 1,5-1,8cm shy of reaching the top but the pain of the pump is making me abandon the climb!





I wanted to go for X-40 after this but i fear similar problem will occur, i will max out the bottom, while still few inches will remain to the top.

I like the pump i really do but i think the design was considered for guys with smaller girth or maybe for the ones who cannot expend so much blood flow, either way im frustrated, since i started a log to make my progress with steadfast resolution.
Did anyone else attract similar problem?

The X-40 fits in the X-40 so I think you won't have these problems.

You could also find some sort of ACE wrap that is water proof and wrap the base.

Thanx 4 the info i just used a shirt, cut it, wrapped it round and it worked for the pain, but i could not go the usual length...

I get this too. I just take it as part and parcel of using the Bathmate. There will always be some 'war wounds' associated with Penis Enlargement. To help alleviate the problem, I give my penis a good massage with some circulatory-aid oil, and use alternating hot/cold water blasts on my penis while in the shower. I find this latter technique in particular has recently reduced inflammation and swelling.
ps. nice length Alex78, you are a good 3cm above me at the moment!

Its obvious you need a X-40.

Pain i got at first was bearable, but when your skin is clamped and you are doing your routine 3 times a day its not productive, the cuts get bigger and you eventually have to stop...

I have had the same problem and it definitely a struggle after each session. I eventually stopped using the Herc for a month because of the pain. I didnt feel like i needed the X-40 though sense im only hitting around 194-198 expansion numbers, but i decided if i wanted to keep gaining i needed to get one. I have been around the mid 190's for a long time, and i think part of it may have to do with my skin getting caught up in the gaiter not allowing me to grow in in the length department. Hopefully the X-40 allows me to keep gaining all over and gets rid of the pain!

Thanks for the warning, I will now definitely avoid the X-40.

What are your stats Alex78?

See this is what im afraid with the X-40, that i will reach girth far before length, and just like X-40, im left with a gap, i think Bathmate should have two versions for every model, for slimmer and girth guys... i think they will have to accommodate us, since lots of guys will have our issues.

I think the chances are that you outgrow the X-40s girth are slim. 8 inches base girth is plenty... And once you are thicker than a beer can you should probably stop, lol

What's your girth right now?

With 8" at the opening you would need to be 1 and a half times the size of a coke can to outgrow it.

Alex78 you wont outgrow the X-40. My girth is quite substantial and I could not outgrow it. X-40 is HUGE, much larger than the X-40. Another problem could be your skin is adjusting to this yet and you need time. I would suggest just conventional Bathmate work with no stretching on the tube, which is more stress to the skin and when your already suffering I see no added benefit.

The X-40 would be a better model for your girth I think but I suspect your skin is also adjusting and it has taken some trauma from stretching perhaps which created more tension than normally would inside the Bathmate.

Either keep going with the X-40 but as I suggested or contact Bathmate and I would try arranging them to take the X-40 back in exchange for the X-40 plus additional fee to makeup its price (X-40 minus X-40 = YOUR FEE).

i think we are all over-looking one key piece of information Alex has mentioned- DUDE , USING THE Bathmate 3 TIMES A DAY IS WAAAY OVERKILL. i think ONE 30 min. session is PLENTY each day, maybe even every other day. obviously, your skin cannot keep up with that type of expansion. you need to give yourself time to heal, that's all there is to it.

you sound a little manic-obsessive about your Penis Enlargement, much like i am myself, and i know being forced to take time off due to injury is a hard pill to swallow personally, but if it begins to cause EVERY SESSION to suffer, you need to look at the bigger Penis Enlargement picture.

take some days off, maybe even a WEEK or TWO, HOWEVER long it takes to COMPLETELY heal your unit, then go back to a modified routine. YOU WILL NOT LOSE ANY GAINS. you might even GAIN from the time off(letting your tissues completely repair).
the Bathmate says right on it the recommended usage of 20 minutes per day, not 60 MINUTES per day. take it easy. see if you can get away with 2 20 min. sessions a day without breaking your skin, and if you can't, YOU CAN'T. there are plenty of other exercises you can do while you heal- kegels, stretches, clamping, and probably some others that won't put stress on an open wound.

hope you let yourself heal and get back to it. cheers bro.

I am also having similar issue with my Bathmate. It's makes a mark which is deep but how do you guys add the pictures in the forum. Sorry I never post pic that's why.

Well the thing is i have been using Bathmate as suggested with small time amounts per day and it did not work!

Only when i started doing 4 times a day5- 10-15 min and then switching to 3 times a day 20min did i notice results!

That is why i abandoned Bathmate after two months, because i was doing once a day 5 minutes till i could do 30 min! That 30 min was great time gain after 2 moths of gradually slowly gaining small time increments, but the problem is it takes almost 2 days to completely heal from swelling.

And now i realize the penis makes better gains from being stimulated every 4-6 hours. Be that 5 minute or 30!

That is my experience.

I will post size pics other time must take a tape measure and photo it, i did not take pics with measurements from starting serious workout.
I did not want to become obsessed with daily gains and then quitting, so i made a pact to not measure till i get 1 month of heavy duty workout and i was stopped 11 days in.

why would they let me return?
Its used and it shows!

Its bad business for them! They cannot sell it back!

What is the reason i can call on?

Give it a try is what I'm suggesting, perhaps they may pitty you for the mistake in buying a smaller model and allow you to trade for the X-40. Otherwise either adapt as advised or save for the X-40.
