Move up to Goliath?

I know that it is recommended that you use a X-40 for anything below ~6.2 girth. I am 5.5 girth midshaft, but my base can be up to 6.25, and I get a lot of red rings after using the X-40 even when flaccid. Should I consider a switchup?

i would recommend the X-40. my base is over six before pumping, and the X-40 gets pretty uncomfortable. just keep in mind that the X-40 is HUGE. you can, and will be intimidated by it. at least I was....lol

It sounds like you need the X-40, thats a good thing

Just my opinion but the Bathmate sizing is harder than it should be.

With the X-40 over a certain size you will get the red rings caused by the gator. At that stage I caution the use of it beyond 30 minutes because the rings may begin to form blisters due to the pinch and the pressure. It's not that big of a deal, and in my case they healed in about three days, but I'm just saying that if you are getting the rings and you really push it (hour+) you can blister.

With the X-40 under a certain size and your balls may get sucked up. So you'll have to babysit it to prevent it. It's a bit like getting slapped in the balls and I'd rather not having that random issue every morning.

Ideally we'd be able to order a X-40 with better gator design, or a size inbetween. Wish it would happen.

Myself I am trying to transition cold from the X-40 to the X-40 but it isn't working out so well yet. So long as I keep to a 20 minute or so session in the X-40 I can stick with it, and I enjoy that I don't have to manipulate it. Set it and forget it.

I suppose you could use the X-40 as a second stage pump once you have pumped a bit in the X-40, to have enough starting girth that your balls won't travel, but that removes one of the best Bathmate features which is that you can incorporate it into your morning routine with no extra time or effort involved.

Does it hurt if your balls get pulled into the tube? Because people pump their balls, right?

Pumping both cock and balls can feel a bit like an ache after a while. It depends on the pace and whether you are warmed up at the time.

However, getting balls sucked at high velocity into the tube through a small gap between your cock and the gaiter feels just like what you would expect.

If it is unexpected it feels very weird If you practice it as an exercise it feels a bit strange but not painful...a bit of a dull ache.

I recently bought the X-40 just to see the difference and wow!!! I am about 180 on the Herc fully erect and thought I could attempt the X-40....errrrrn (buzzer sound) No way!!! That thing takes my cock & balls for it to seal since the base is sooo flipping large, and I cant take that kind of pressure yet, so I am back to my X-40 and trying to keep it simple till I get bigger.
Hope this helps yall some

For me the X-40 is like throwing a hotdog down a hallway :blush:

I typically use both during a Bathmate session. I use the Herc to start and get my "plump," then I move up to the X-40. Since I already use a LongJohnny to pump my whole package, my balls don't quite fit into the X-40 with my cock. So after a bit of adjustment, I can get a pretty good seal. The trick for me though, is using the Herc first. Even though my girth has made it useful only for a warmup, it's a good way to help get things going. As DLD stated, moving up to the X-40 is a good thing!

This isn't supposed to be a bump, but is the dull ache in ball pumping bad for the testicles?

I am not one who does ball pumping but from everyone who has I have heard them speak of the dull ache and there has been no injuries reported. I would think that ball pumping will increase your testicle size while increasing girth.
