FAQ:What Bathmate should I get?

Quick question. Curious about which to get. Read a lot about here but nothing with my exact measurements, although I have seen a few people with 6.5 girth who asked which to get. I have 5.8 in girth and 6.5 in length. I know I can fit in the X-40, but would the X-40 be a better choice at this point? I just got an extender a month ago and plan to use both around 5 times a week.

yeah id probably get the X-40, I started 5.25girth and within a few weeks already hitting bit over 6 after pumping..... might have to upgrade soon lol.

Ok I'm confused.

I was reading in the sticky regarding sleeves for the Bathmate and in there it was stated that you can't do the stretches in the X-40 but only in the X-40.

If this is not so I would like to know. If it is this way then if I wanted a X-40 just for stretching would my base girth of 6.5 and mid girth of 6 & 1/4 prevent me from using the X-40 for this purpose?

However if you can perform the stretches with the X-40 then the point is moot.

Thank you.

Honestly, it is always best to start with the X-40 if you fit inside the specs. If you go right for the X-40, and your penis is too "small" for the huge X-40, you will gain slower. Its always best to max out the X-40 for at least two months and then get the X-40.

Thanks for the reply.

So what about the X-40 being too big to be used for the stretches?

what do you think, X-40 or X-40? I think the X-40 looks too big for me?

Interesting. The Bathmate website suggested that someone should have at least a 20 cm (7.9") errect penis before using the X-40, but the girth limit for the X-40e you say is 6 1/4 inches. I'm only 6" in errect length, but I am over 6.5 in errect girth midshaft, and am nearing 7" at the base. The hassels of a chode penis. Is there any danger in using the X-40 at less then the recomended length? Where could one buy this for cheaper than retail?

Do these maximum girth measurements apply to the thickest point of your penis? Because while I'm 5.5" most of the way along the shaft, my base (ie where the gaiter is) girth is 6.25"ish, and I do get a certain amount of ring shaped bruises around the base even when pumping flaccid. X-40 the way to go?

This has been the toughest choice ever since Penis Enlargement. Im doing Penis Enlargement on and off for 3 or 4 years, dont even remember it. One day I just started and learned alot from all you people (thank you for that. for all the techniques) but also from my body, it talks to me . Anyway now that I started again after 3 months break and I got throught the inflamation period it is time to buy the Bathmate... easy! ... eh not! damn so difficult, I read through so much threads and advices. And my thought jumped from X-40 to X-40 Back to X-40 etc etc... the reason is mainly my girth.. its 5"9 (EL 7"1). But I can build up very quick to 6"2 (It was once 6"5 with the help of Penis Enlargement). Still im considering the fact to start with the X-40, to get used to Bathmate, and later to use to get ready for the X-40.
The question is now because I read in a thread (not sure if it was this one, after 30 threads) that u can better max out the HErcules for 2 months before to go to X-40. Also a plus is that you can do more easy the lenght workouts in the HErcules.
But Im doubting because maybe its too small for me the X-40 when my penis expands, especially for the head that even is a 0"5 inch larger than my shaft and I have this image of my squeezed penis in the X-40 .but have the image my balls be sucked in in the X-40 .... anyone some thoughts?

At 6.2 at your max you are close to maxing out the X-40. I would suggest grabbing a X-40 if it is too tight. It is a big jump but think of it like a shark in a small tank, he will only grow to that size because of the limitation of space, if you put him in a bigger tank he will grow bigger I use the X-40 in the same way, I warm up with flaccid pumping, get myself nice and plump and then dive into the X-40 and continue the expansion.

Thank you for the quick answer, been reading 2 days about Bathmate, and you cant imagine how much post anwers I read form you, thanks for yur wisdom.

So maybe its wise to get the X-40 now play with it/use it/discover the world of Bathmate a month or 2 and than move to the X-40 and keep the X-40 apart for the startup? or is the expansion in the X-40 gonna make it almost impossible to do nice sessions?

That is the best way to go. I understand how confusing it can be when there are thousands of Bathmate posts, it becomes hard to make a good choice. I am here to make it easier for you I would never get rid of my X-40, it is the perfect warm-up to the X-40. Your X-40 will get you to 6.5" in girth but it will be very snug. Once you feel that the smaller tube is hindering growth it is time to get the bigger tube. Take you time, enjoy the journey and when the time is right jump into the next phase.

thank you alot. I didnt expect that any answer would take my doubts away... but I was wrong. I can go sleep now peacefull with my mind made up. Thanks again

I've been getting the rings around the base for about 3-4 weeks now. They are begining to start to hurt more as well. Nothing major that has stopped me or caused blisters (yet). I feel it might be time to upgrade.
I'm now 5.5 (and a bit) girth at mid after a few months of Penis Enlargement my base is 5.75 and closing in on 6. My length is not the length I'd expect to be to be considering upgrading but I am approaching 7.5. Its the girth and the rings that are making me think I should upgrade. Thoughts?

It seems when the rings start to happen you are coming to a close for the X-40 and soon will be ready for the X-40. I would not worry until you are at 6.25+ at max to change. Last think you want is blisters, painful fuckers! So stay aware of your measurements and how things are feeling during the close of pump sessions. You will know when it is time.

Thanks DLD ! Blisters scare the crap outta me, no lie. I think I'll go ahead and order it in the next few weeks.
Might as well have the tool to do the job when I need it.

As long as you are slow and steady you will be fine. Do not get overzealous! Stick with the newbie Bathmate Routine. This will ensure that you are getting maximum tissue expansion and very little fluid retention. The jelqing used in between sets will help keep fluid dispersed evenly, ensuring no blisters and no uneven retention. Good luck with your journey and please keep us up to date on your progress.

Hey, I was planning on getting the Bathmate X-40, but my current girth is 6 and anywhere up to 6.25 on a good day for whatever reason and I have never done Penis Enlargement before. My girth leads me to thinking I'm better off with the X-40, however my concern is that I am only 6 inches on in length.
- Would I be able to use the X-40 to the fullest extent despite my short falling in length?
- Would I be able to get myself into the X-40 and operate it without an issue? If I can, would I get a good run out of it or would I be purchasing the X-40 in a short amount of time after, like a month? I would like to avoid having to purchase the both in such a small time frame.

Thanks for the help.

Sorry to double post, but I should ask whether or not I'm supposed to be using the Bathmate while erect. If not, then X-40 would be my best bet.

Hard one. You are so close to the max in the X-40 but the deciding factor would be do you want more than 6.5" of girth? If so you definitely want the X-40 but if you are happy at 6.5" (which is massive) then the X-40 is the way. As far as not enough length goes, this can be dealt with by adding a small, soft ball in the tube before you go in, this will delete much of the negative space allowing for a good pump session.
