I didn't like reading that either.. got me a bit worried also..

If this is true then Bathmate should be held accountable. At least DLD should throw them out of MOS. I use the Bathmate since over a year and if their stuff poisons me im gonna hack their dicks off.

So either Penomet is lying or Bathmate is poisoning us?
 
I had to back off to 15 minutes when I first started for the same reasons you are experiencing. I also added several manual exercises including Jelqing, SSJ, __________, Vstretch. The erections came right back. Now, less than 3 months into this journey, I do the manual stretches and 2 times per day in the Bathmate 6 days a week. I'm up 7/8 in in length and 3/4 EG with excellent EQ by bedtime. 20 minutes in the Bathmate is whats hurting you.
 
Just got the Bathmate and had the donut problem. I appreciate all the comments on this site, they helped.

I'm curious to know if this only happens in uncircumcised guys? I am not circumcised and am wondering if the excess skin is the problem. Anyhow, I read some tips and found I started to hard too fast. Also, when I am done now I massage with moisturizing lotion.

Also, i find the post about the penomet and toxins a load of CRAP and my opinion is just penomet throwing mud. Sure they may use surgical grade rubber and Bathmate is silent on the matter and I will admit its possible for substandard materials to cause an allergic reactions, but I haven't read any complaints about this. The donut (fluid retention) is caused by pumping too hard too fast in a hydraulic vacuum, not toxins in rubber. It also has to do with the fact that this is a hydraulic vacuum which will affect your skins is permeability thus making it more susceptible to osmosis and diffusion with water. One possible remedy may be to pump in a salt water bath (epsom salts), but I'm not sure what affect this would have on the Bathmate over time. Another may be to lube your cock with Vaseline to increase the water barrier.

As I said above (and so have others), gradual pumping and massage afterwards seem to work well.

Hope that helps future noobs.

I used to get a donut pretty bad. That was from start to about a year. I think overtime it goes away.

Have you tried the SRT Routine 5x5x3? This really kicks ass and retention is not an issue due to the complementary, super-set, Slow Squash Jelq that is added.

I am also freaked out. I also am having ed problems after using the Bathmate for about 2.5 weeks. I was doing like 3 or 4 times a week, but now I know I was overdoing it. I would go up to 45 minutes with a couple 3-5 minute breaks every 15, because I always thought I could go a little more. Always slightly building pressure till I would max it out at the end.

I have no visible problems, but it has been 3 days since I last used it and I have not been able to get erect. Now I am super anxious about it too which isn't helping. Please tell me this is temporary.
 
for anyone like me stumbling across inconclusive threads in the future, I will say my EQ is back.
