I was measuring whit the BM ruler and the measurements can be pretty innacurate imho.Theres this small space before the numbers start.

Wonder who has measured whit that ruler,What were their results..Thanks
 
It sounds like a bit of people are having this issue where the ruler is 1/8-1/4 inch off from actual size, i wonder if thats something that can be resolved or if the gator provides too much variance.

There is also, usually, a discrepancy with regular rulers. Many start at the quarter inch mark making your measurement 1/4" shorter. What I like to do is get a wooden ruler, measure it to be exactly 12". I sand down and round the edges as I shorter it to 12". As I said, many rulers start at 1/4" so be sure to measure because a ruler can be off just like the BathMate ruler.
 
use a regular ruler instead,easier and avoid the disappointment

i think is like a quarter off from the actual size, besides i think the BM sticker isnt accurate either...Well depending on the results a guy get while he is using theBM LOL
 
My X40 is 3/8 longer than actual. I compressed the BM bellows as far as my VacuVin pump could pull, (simulating 100% pressure) and then used a tailor's tape to verify the difference...8 1/2" on the BM was actually 8 1/8"

Exactly! That is the point I poorly tried to get across :)

I've found this to be true with almost all wooden rulers I've seen. The extra part need to be sand down and smooth to avoid injuries when pressing into the fat pad area during measurement.

Sand off 1/4 inch and younwill get the right size
