Hercules or goliath-help!

you forgot to factor in thickness of the tube. its pretty thick. like i said, the X-40 maxes out at 6.5" erect girth. i know this from first-hand experience. good luck.

Hmmm...that's odd, because the letter I got from customer service clearly states "2.5 inches internal diameter." Misinformation?

This also comes right off their website:

•Outside Length - 12"
•Inside Length - 9 (when compressed)"
•Girth - 7 3/4" around at largest
•Width - 2 3/4"

There does seem to be some discrepancy for sure.

Start out with the X-40 and if you gain over the months save up for a X-40. You cant go wrong, they arent very expensive and if you change your mind on the X-40 maybe you can sell it. But the X-40 may be too much if you dont want to pump your balls right away. I still say if you can afford it get BOTH!

I hear what you're saying, Turnover, but if stretcharmstrng is right in that the X-40 maxes out at 6.5" girth, then I have a problem. Because even now doing uli's clamping etc I can get up to 6.75" girth. The whole idea of the Bathmate is to expand beyond where you've been, but I've already managed to get "pumped" beyond what Stretch says is the max capacity of the X-40. And this is all exacerbated by the fact that I can't talk to anyone in customer service. Their toll free number doesn't work, and I've left 3 emails over the last couple of days with no replies. If I could just talk to someone there, I could probably sort it out. Kinda frustrating!

That is frustrating. I know there is a way to get into contact with the Bathmate guys here at MoS. To solve your problem the answer for 6.5" of girth is the X-40 man because that could easily become 7.5" of girth, well not "easily" but you know, the X-40 is too small for you man. Im only 5.5" midshaft girth and gives me rings at my base that are painful after so much prolonged use. If youre concerned about your balls getting sucked into the X-40 its fixed by wrapping your balls I hear.

Turnover

Man I am lost, Fill, I thought your max size was 6" with expansion to 6.5". If you are already getting beyond 6.5" than the X-40 is a must.

My EG midshaft is just over 6", more at the base, maybe 6.5 or so. And this is even if i've done no girth work for a few weeks. Now, if I'm doing girth work which usually entails 15-20 mins jelq, uli's, bends etc followed by 2-3 10-min sets clamped, I can get up to 6.75" (while clamped). So, I presume if I got up to that girth clamped, I really wouldn't be able to use the X-40. Maybe at the beginning of the workout, but not towards the end.

I've ordered the X-40, but if could just reach somebody at Bathmate canada, I would upgrade to the X-40 before they ship it out, if they haven't already.

It may be great product, but their customer service sucks big time!!

Does the Canada site even carry the X-40?

Yes, it does. And, I finally got an email back from their customer service. Turns out their rep that I contacted gave me incorrect info. The diameter of the X-40 isn NOT 2.5" but rather 2.25. That makes quite a difference for someone like me. So, I have told them to upgrad me to the X-40. Would you agree, DLD?

Fillerup

Completely agree. I am glad they got back to you.

I also agree and am glad to see you getting this situation resolved. I'd rather be happy the first time with something I ordered than have to buy two products. I love my Bathmate, and feel it's an awesome addition to my clamping routine. I've already ''outgrown'' it by most men's standards, but that's fine. I only use it to warm up before my clamping routine. I may buy a X-40 in the semi-near future, but I'm not in a hurry. Even when I hit 6.5'' of permanent erect girth, I'll probably still use just my X-40 like I currently do, to warm up before I clamp. Doing so now, I am able to get to 7.25'' of temporary girth after I have clamped....for just 15-20 minutes. It's insane. I ain't bullshittin' either.

I still have 2 electric pumps and a cylinder which appears to be pretty close to the same dimensions as the X-40. If, for some reason I did find the X-40 too big, I could use my old cylinder for a little while. I've used it with water in the past, but you have to be careful when hooked up to an electric pump, know what I mean? Another option, and one nobody has addressed, is to do your regular girth work first, such as jelq, uli's and even clamping, get up to near max girth, THEN get out the X-40 and go to town. God only knows where that might take you LOL.

But you get to 7.25" temp girth? Fantastic, SWM! I remember years back when I first began clamping. I got on a regular routine and often got to 7". Trouble is, they appear to be temporary. Stop for a couple weeks or a month and You'll see what I mean. Of course, you already know that. But I guess the gains come eventually. You and I are proof of that. I've gained a solid inch girth, but it took years, not months. Will the Bathmate in conjunction with clamping or SSJ's make the difference and really accelerate the gains? I don't know. I hope so

Well, I'm just ending 7 hours in my extender (no bullshit) and am going to work out some other body part LOL.

Thats why I say both. These arent just penis pumps. These things are like weapons. One day I got my balls pumped with my dick and for 30 min I got all stoned and started stretching it and leaning to the right and to the left- up n down, Then I did 15 min balls out just pumping still tugging on it. Then I wear a really thick tight cockring and edge. Its like clamping. I believe you about the Unbelievable 7.25" temp girth. With pills I bet it would be more, Double clamping sets switched back and forth with pumping sets- even SSJs. This shit is seriously monstrous. The X-40 is going to be perfect.

yeah, i think i should make a thread specifically addressing tying off the balls when using the Bathmate, this really helps keep them out of the way and even pulling them away from the pump, to keep them from getting sucked in.

i think if guys would make tying the balls off a part of their routine, it would help them a bunch. cheers

We need a bunch of faq threads. I will start a thread in teh main forum looking for some guys to donate some time to putting these faq threads together.

well, thats definitely one FAQ. another one can address 'how do i use the Bathmate outside the bath?'

and then some ?'s concerning wrapping for the length master, clamping placement on the shaft, and a real important all around question, of which i will make a thread now! =)
