So I got a bathmate round January. I had problems with it because no matter what it wanted to suck up my balls and it was uncomfortable how it would want to have my foreskin retract but mine is tight. I hit them up to get help and possible a smaller one to start with and I got the cold shoulder. Idek what to do at this point...

I had the same problem to the point that it was painful. They now have “cushion rings” that work great. It isn’t happening at all now.

The cushion rings were a great addition because prior to that it was so much pain involved

Hello to everyone!
I have benn experiencing an annoying problem with my bathmate. It keeps loosing the pressure.
I have changed the valve cap but the problem is still there.
A couple of months ago I had the same issue. I thougth that the problem was the internal "O-ring" for it seemed to sit not properly. But then I compared it with another bathmate and I found out that it looked the same.
It is really a nuisance.
Has someone experienced the same problem?
Any tips to solve this problem?

If it helps troubleshoot, get in the shower where you can see the air bubbles rise from the leak. Fill it up, sit down with the Bathmate vertical. If it is leaking around the base, you’ll see bubbles rise. Lean forward with the Bathmate pointing down, if you see bubbles rising, it is leaking from the valve area. Mine turned out to be the handump leaking which Bathmate will not allow me to replace.

take a look at this guide it should help you out..... are you loosing pressure from the bottom or top of the bathmate?

i posted this for another user having same problem have a look

Bathmate, or what pump?

This pump just wont work right for me. I get it to work decent for a couple minutes then it leaks out of the end and loses all pressure. I cant figure out the wine vac mod. Ive tried attaching it multiple ways and it wont stay on the end. It said there is a 60 day return. How do I go about that...

Have you thoroughly cleaned it? Here is a video

I had a similar issue in the past with BM just use vaseline around the ring of the Bathmate to prevent loss of suction or air bubbles before using.

Indeed and also trim your pubic hair down to about a quarter inch or less and this will also help with vacuum

I saw a video of a guy on youtube who used vaseline before reading your recommendation. Does it work?
I can give it a try but it is strange nevertheless then actually it should work without anything

but how easy is it to remove the o-ring and above all to put it back?
Do you have a video that shows how to do it?

come on! This is a bit ridiculous. Sorry for this criticism

A nice way to troubleshoot the problem. It must definitely be the valve because I tried the following:

instead of sealing the pump to the body I sealed it to a plan clean surface (a table). I can even hear a suble sort of whizz . It is clear that it is the valve.
I do not know if the method with the vaseline can work well, as #orgasmic9 suggested. I can give it a try. The probem could be the O-ring as #

If you are losing suction from the bottom add some vaseline between the two bottom rings and make sure it's sealed tight.

The vaseline acts sort of like a glue and prevents leakage.

Exactly. You want to trim down your pubic hair to about 1/4 of an inch or less. you want to use the small smear of Vaseline around the seal and from here you should get perfect vacuum.

I will give it a try with the vaseline.
I actullay fear that the problem could be due to the o-ring.

Give it a shot and let us know how it goes this usually solves that issue

Since there's actually no measurement of pressure I wonder how do you know what's a safe amount of pressure when you use a Bathmate for the very first time..?

You can go full pressure with the bath mate and not have issues. Most men modify their Bathmate with the wine vacuum modification which makes it 10 times more intense. So it’s a standard vacuum I would not worry about especially if you’re following the 5×5×3.

 

[Stretchboy]

I'll stick to the 5x5x3. The Bathmate arrived today... Can't wait to check things out.. I will start some normal pumping sessions and afterwards I'll do DLD hardcore stretching.. But first getting used to it..
